What is the k-value gypsm board?
The k-value of gypsum board, also known as the thermal conductivity or thermal resistance, typically ranges from 0.25 to 0.35 W/m·K. This value indicates how well the material can conduct heat, with lower values representing better insulating properties. Gypsum board is commonly used in construction for its fire resistance and soundproofing qualities, making its k-value important for energy efficiency in buildings.
