Homes and buildings need insulation to control inside temperatures. Are you getting the best value for your project? Here's a look at how R-Value affects what you pick.

Spray foam insulation R-value depends on whether it is open- or closed-cell. Closed-cell spray foam insulation has the highest thermal resistance value, averaging R-6 to R-7 per inch.

The insulation experts at HD Horne Sprayfoam & Insulation Ltd. regularly educate their clients and the general public about topics relating to insulation. Closed cell spray foam is considered to ...

If you’re like us, the expanded polystyrene (EPS) foam inserts that protect many packages these days are a source of mixed feeling. On the one hand, we’re glad that stuff arrives intact thanks ...

A: R-value refers to the level of resistance to heat flow that insulation — from fiberglass attic insulation to pipe wrap — provides. Heat, of course, tends to radiate outward and upward, and ...

There are some wonderful things about spray foam insulation, but the price in health and embodied carbon is just too high.

You can view the videos on my website. The link is at the end of this column. Days ago, the insulation that was put in the wall cavities. It’s closed-cell foam.

Despite this trend, it has been shown that dynamic insulation systems, which offer variable thermal resistance, have been shown to decrease energy consumption by adapting the envelope’s R-value ...

Background In recent years, requiring building envelopes for greater insulation layers have become a trend for new construction. Despite this trend, it has been shown that dynamic insulation systems, ...
