The purpose of these materials is to protect the walls after proper insulation, from heat radiations as it provides thermal barrier on the surface of the walls. They should be perfectly to the R-value, which implies to the industry standard unit of measuring the standard insular properties of material, its resistance to heat flow and transfer.

Key specifications available for building insulation

1. Length- The measurement across the longest side of the unit (feet).
2. Facing- Surface material bonded to the top surface of the unit (foil, Kraft paper, etc)
3. Width- the measurement across the shortest side of the unit (feet)
4. R-value-the industry standard unit of measuring the standard insular properties of material.
5. Thickness- the measurement between the top face and the bottom face (inches).
