What is R-Value?

The thermal performance of bulk insulation products is measured by their Thermal Resistance or R-value. The R-value is the ability of a product to resist the transfer of heat and is the most important factor when selecting thermal insulation. The higher the R-value the more effective the insulation

To check which thickness of Aerolite you should install to comply with the minimum R-value stipulated in SANS10400-XA refer to the heatflow and thickness guide per climatic zone diagram.
