Attic Insulation MI R-Value – Amistee Insulation Contractor MI

There is a lot of confusion when it comes to the term “R-Value”. Many homeowners just go with the flow or never ask the question of “what does it mean”. Let us help clear up this frequently asked question. R Value is most commonly put to the building material called insulation. R-Value is the ability for a product to resist heat flow. The R-Value of insulation measures how well the insulation resists the transfer of heat if the temperature on one side of the insulation is higher than on the other side of the insulation. The higher the R-Value, the better the material or insulation is working. In the state of Michigan the code has recently been raised from R-30 to R-49. R-49 is 17.5 inches of loose fill attic insulation.
