R-value is measured under laboratory conditions, but in the real world there are other factors that determine how effective a particular type of insulation may or may not be. Conduction, convection, and radiation all affect heat loss, but R-value only measures the first one, conduction, which is when heat is lost through solid materials. Radiation [...]
The Federal Trade Commission (FTC) considers R-value to be an integral part of spray foam measurement, and the FTC defines how R-value is reported and tested. The thermal performance of insulation is measured by R-value. R-value is a test performed under laboratory conditions and measures resistance to heat flow. The testing methods were developed by [...]
According to a recent article in SprayFoam magazine, spray foam provides a much better roof system than bituminous membrane roofing when it comes to withstanding storm damage. Spray foam provides a continous surface wth no edges, seams or joints that is self adhering, protects from water, and resists high winds, missile damage, and penetration. Here’s [...]
