What are R-Values?

R values are a way to assess how well thermal insulation works. An R-value is a measure of thermal resistance (i.e. how well it blocks heat) for materials, such as insulation, and assemblies of materials, like walls and floors.

The higher the value of R, the better the thermal performance and heat retention of the material or assembly.

These values are used in association with the insulation of flexible ducts, plenums and other airside components.

The Building Code of Australia (BCA) specifies minimum R-values required for different zones of Australia according to climate types.
