Insulation R-Values Chart

Two side-by-side rectangles, one above the other, separated by a horizontal line. The top rectangle, marked with vertical lines, is labeled 4.5 R-Value; the bottom, with a zigzag pattern, is labeled 2.8—great for an insulation diagram or R-Values chart.

This detailed chart outlines various thermal insulation types and their estimated R-values, crucial for precise space calculations in architectural design. Given the continuous advancements in insulation technology, it's vital to verify product specifications against design minimums on-site. This resource is regularly updated, and we welcome suggestions to ensure its accuracy and comprehensiveness for industry professionals.
