RADIATION

Example: Heat is transferred from the roof and through the attic to the ceiling and into the structure.

R-Values are only part of the story and are not a sole indicator of how an insulation will perform in your home. R-Value is a laboratory measurement that does not consider all 3 methods of heat transfer.

"...conduction, radiation and convection are the primary mechanisms of heat transfer in a structure." ---U.S. Department of Energy

R-Value is a useful, but narrowly focused laboratory measurement.

For a comfortable, safe, and energy efficient home, insist on an

insulation solution that controls all 3 methods of heat transfer.
