Insulation Terms You Should Know

Understanding insulation terms is crucial for optimizing home energy efficiency.

R Value: It measures an insulation's resistance to heat flow from one side to the other. A higher R-Value indicates greater difficulty for heat to transfer between sides.

Moisture Barrier: A material used to minimize corrosion on a surface.

Water Resistance: A material's resistance to the passage of water vapor particles.

Water Vapor Barrier: A material used to prevent water vapor from moving one side to the other.

Radiant Barrier: Designed to minimize summer heat gain and lower cooling costs, these barriers are made of a highly reflective material that reflects radiant heat instead of absorbing it. Unlike thermal insulation, they do not reduce heat conduction.

Understanding these terms enables homeowners to make informed choices about insulation purchases, installations, and upgrades, ensuring their investment leads to long-term savings and comfort. Whether planning new installations or improvements, these core concepts guide effective insulation solutions and promote sustainable living.
