R-Value Explained

The R-value for insulation is a way to measure how much resistance the insulation has to heat flow.  The higher the R-value, the more the resistance and the better the material is at insulating a building.  Said differently, the R-value indicates how well the insulation type is at keeping heat from leaving or entering the building.  

The R-value depends on the insulation type, its thickness and its density.  The higher the R-value, the greater the insulating effectiveness!  Higher R-values cost more than lower R-values.  The assigned R-values are represented by materials per inch of depth.

Starfoam can apply whatever R-value the customer desires, but at a minimum it should be R-10, which is 1.5 inches of high density spray foam.
