When you're shopping for insulation, the most important feature about any insulation is the 'R' value.
This is the number given to insulation that determines its insulating properties.
Owens Corning describes it like this: " R-Value: Measure of resistance to heat flow.
Insulation materials have tiny pockets of trapped air.
These pockets resist the transfer of heat through material.
The ability of insulation to slow the transfer of heat is measured in R-values.
The higher the R-value, the better the insulation material's ability to resist the flow of heat through it.
