Product Overview

Read This Before You Buy: The chart shows the R-value of this insulation.
R means resistance to heat ow. The higher the R-value, the greater the
insulating power. Compare insulation R-values before you buy. There are
other factors to consider. The amount of insulation you need depends
mainly on the climate where you live. Also, your fuel savings from
insulation will depend on climate, the type and size of your structure, the
amount of insulation already in your structure, and your fuel use patterns
and occupancy. If you buy too much insulation, it will cost you more
than you’ll save on fuel. To get the marked R-value, it is essential that
this insulation be installed properly.

Foil facings should be covered by a
thermal barrier, please check local building requirements.
System R-Values are calculated for enclosed air-to-air spaces for the specic applications and
orientations as described. The R-Value of reective insulation is application and orientation specic.
Please contact your NOFP representative for a complete table of System R-Values based on dierent
installation methods.
