“R” means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-value, the
greatertheinsulatingpower.AccordingtotheASHRAEHandbookof
Fundamentals, the reflective foil facing of R-Matte Plus-3 contributes
additional R-value to the overall assembly when installed against a
deadairspace.Forexample,ASHRAEassignsa2.77R-valuetoa3/4
