Introduction to R-Values
At Champion Restoration and Construction, we prioritize the quality and efficiency of your roofing systems. One crucial aspect of this is understanding R-values and their impact on your home.
What is R-Value?
R-value measures the effectiveness of thermal insulating materials. The higher the R-value, the better the material insulates. To determine the total R-value of a roof assembly:
- Measure the total thickness in inches of each type of insulating material.
- Multiply the thickness by the standard R-value per inch for that material.
- Add the results for all materials to get the total R-value for the roof assembly.
Importance of R-Value for Your Home
A higher R-value means better insulation, leading to:
- Regulated indoor temperatures
- Reduced energy consumption
- Lower energy bills
Benefits of Proper Roof Insulation
Properly insulated roofs keep your home comfortable year-round and save you money. Efficient insulation reduces the need for heating and cooling, thus lowering energy costs.
