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.

What is lightweight foam concrete?
trinity trade foamed concrete Concrete foam insulation is 100% Fireproof and that is one its major selling points over other forms of home insulation. It is also 100% Mold Proof including all types of toxic mold There is no leaching of toxic gasses, it is 100% Non-Toxic, Free of CFC's & Formaldehyde Concrete foam insulation offers a very high R-value, No loss of R-value over time If offers excellent soundproofing qualities. Once in place it is Non-Shrinking and Non-Settling There are no future disposal problems and it is Non-Hazardous as waste It is fully bug and Rodent Proof The primary components of concrete foam insulation are cement which is made of calcium, magnesium oxide and alumina, water and air. When the home is demolished in the distant future no harmful waste is produced. What remains of the concrete foam insulation is easily broken down and remains inert in a landfill. It can also be crushed and repurposed in the future. Concrete foam insulation is blown in to walls and cavities and once in place provides an outstanding R-value plus all of the benefits listed above. It has been installed in the National Audubon Societies headquarters and even Nobel prize winner Al Gore's estate. Because the cement destroys bugs protective coatings they do not nest or live in walls that have been sprayed with it. There are no ozone destroying gasses or off gassing of toxic gasses into the home as some insulations cause. beijing trintiy trade is one maker of concrete foam insulation http://www.foamed.com.cn
Wooden boards over middle of loft area for storage will also have insulation properties How thick must the boards be to give adequate insulation?
It depends on the species of wood, but a good average insulation value is R1.5 per inch. So, you would need 10 inches of boards just to get to R15. Often, making sure to stop the escaping air in this area is more important than the insulation value.
U value of r-19 insulation?
The U value is the inverse of the R value. For R value 19 insulation the U value is 1/19, or 0.0526.
Is dry wall an insulator?
While drywall, or gypsum board, does give insulation value it is not a high amount, a 1/2" piece of drywall will only raise the r-value by .45, if you are looking to improve the insulation of a wall you are much better off using rigid foam insulation. An extruded polystyrene board, that's Styrofoam, of 1" thickness gives you an R-value of 5.00, which is over 5 times greater per inch than that of drywall. You can further improve the insulation value of a wall by add some kind of batt insulation in-between the studs.
Is r-value good or bad?
it is a good thing i think R Value is the thermal resistance of a given material. The higher the R Value the more thermal resistance and the better the insulation. So, an R48 roof system is warmer than an R32 roof system. All insulation materials are rated by their R Value. An inch of rigid insulation has a higher R Value than an inch of fiberglass insulation. Check with the insulation manufacturer for the R Value.
What does an R-Value tell you?
It is the measure of insulation against heat/cold afforded by varying thicknesses and composition of construction insulation materials. The higher the "R" Value the better the insulation characteristics.
How is insulation measured?
Floors, attics and walls all require insulation of different R-Values which are measured by the thickness of the insulation. The R-Value determines how well the insulation will resist heat flow. The higher the R-Value the more resistance it has to heat and cold. If you are adding to existing insulation there is another factor to consider. You will have to determine the R-Value of the existing to know how much additional insulation to add
Can you give me a sentence with insulation?
An insulation material is one which separates one region from another. Common uses would be electrical insulation, thermal insulation, and acoustic insulation.
Which material has the highest r value stucco pine board concrete or fiber glass insulation?
Fiberglass Insulation, R Value of 3.14. Pine board has an R Value of 1.74
An R-value is a rating for materials used as?

What is difference between insulation resistance test and polarization index?
Insulation resistance test: This test is used to find the insulation resistance of motor for 1 min or 10 min through high voltage insulation tester. By this we can find the insulation level. Polarization index: This is the ratio between insulation resistance for 10 min to insulation resistance for 1 min.
How much energy does insulation save?
it depends on the r-value of the insulation and the area or temperature range of the climate it is to be installed
What is the r value of insulation?
