What does an R-value of 2.5 mean?
An R-value of 2.5 represents the thermal resistance of insulation material, measuring its ability to resist heat flow. Higher R-values indicate better insulating performance. Our density measurement systems ensure consistent material properties throughout production, helping manufacturers maintain target R-values and meet building code requirements reliably.
