What value does 10 insulation give?

If you are referring to the R value of insulation, then 10 would be the 'thermal resistance' value of the insulation. A value of 10 is about what 3 1/2 inches of fiberglass batt insulation would give you. That is what you might put within your exterior walls if you are using wood studs. The higher the R value the better insulation you will have. When you add up all of the R values of the materials that make up your exterior wall you will get your total value. Depending on where your building is located, and the climate in that area, you will need to adjust your insulation accordingly.
