An insulating material’s resistance to conductive heat flow is measured or rated in terms of its thermal resistance or R-Value. The higher the R-Value, the greater the insulating effectiveness. The R-Value depends on the type of insulation, its thickness, and its density. When calculating the R-Value of a multi-layered insulation, add the R-Values of the …
Sunset Ridge was a quaint little community nestled between hills , with houses adorned with beautiful brickwork, cozy patios, and blooming gardens. But, every summer, there was no one common complaint among its residents: their homes turned into scorching furnaces. The attics stored the heat, making the living ares below almost unbearable.
