Comparison of EcoFoam to Other Insulation Materials

As many homeowners and companies are trying to save money, they recognize the amount of money that they lose from energy waste. They also recognize the environmental impact of using non-renewable resources to heat and cool their homes. These changes in the construction industry have made the R-value of a building a much more important factor to consider when constructing and repairing a building.

R-value is a measure of the insulation’s resistance to heat flow based on the material's thickness and thermal conductivity. The higher the R-value of the insulation, the greater energy efficiency of the insulation possesses.

There are varieties of factors that affect the R-value. The type of insulation that is used, the thickness and the density can all impact the R-value. Some buildings and houses feature multiple layers of insulation and this requires adding the R-values of each layer of insulation together with the other layers. Here's the details of comparison of Ecofoam to other insulation materials.
