What you should know about R Values
The chart shows the R-Value of this insulation. R means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the greater the insulating power. Compare insulation R Values before you buy. There are other factors to consider. The amount of insulation you need depends mainly on the climate you live in.

Reflective insulation is the most effective when incorporated with at least a 3/4 airspace between the insulation and any adjacent material. The R value of the system will vary dependent on the airspace size and the direction of the heat flow, and the conductive and convective properties of surrounding materials.

Also, your fuel savings from insulation will depend upon the climate, the type and size of your house, the amount of insulation already in your house, and your fuel use patterns and family size. If you buy too much insulation, it will cost you more than what you'll save on fuel. To get the marked R-Value, it is essential that this insulation be installed properly.

The exhaustive testing, and approvals above go far beyond industry standards and those provided by our competitors. Prodex Total Insulation is the ONLY reflective insulation that we’re aware of that is BOTH Energy Star Qualified and ICC-ES recognized!
