		<title>Heat Loss By Convection, Conduction, and Radiation</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>

		<title>What is R Value?</title>
		<description><![CDATA[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 [...]]]></description>

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&#8217;s [...]]]></description>
