Not Sure What You Need?
Our team is here to help you choose the right insulation type and R-value for your project. Whether you’re insulating a new build or upgrading an older space, we’ll help you find what works best.
Understanding R-Value: A Quick Guide
R-value measures how well insulation resists heat flow—the higher the R-value, the better the thermal performance. The recommended R-value depends on your location and where you’re insulating (walls, attic, floors, etc.).

| Area of Home | Recommended R-Value |
|---|---|
| Attic | R-49 to R-60 |
