   Maximize the value of new flooring by keeping the cost proportionate to your home’s value. “If you spend too much on new flooring, you will not be able to get your money back,” Harris said.

3. Cork thermal insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cork_thermal_insulation

   The findings clearly demonstrated that moisture absorption during the rainy season is confined to the surface layers and has no effect on the cork's thermal insulation performance. Other research has focused on cork-based composites. The insulation used in the studies by Cherki et al. [12] and Monir et al., [13] is a cork-gypsum composite ...

4. Domestic roof construction - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_roof_construction

   Warm air rises, so ceiling insulation is designed to have a higher r-value and the insulation is often installed between the ceiling joists or rafters. A properly insulated and ventilated roof is called a cold roof. A warm roof is a roof that is not ventilated, [9] where the insulation is placed in line with the roof pitch. [10]

5. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   The use of highly compressed straw bales as insulation, though uncommon, is gaining popularity in experimental building projects for the high R-value and low cost of a thick wall made of straw. "Research by Joe McCabe at the Univ. of Arizona found R-value for both wheat and rice bales was about R-2.4 (RSI-0.42) per inch with the grain, and R-3 ...

6. List of insulation materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_insulation_materials

   This is a list of insulation materials used around the world. Typical R-values are given for various materials and structures as approximations based on the average of available figures and are sorted by lowest value. R-value at 1 m gives R-values normalised to a 1 metre (3 ft 3 in) thickness and sorts by median value of the range.

7. Superinsulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Superinsulation

   There is no universally agreed definition of superinsulation, but superinsulated buildings typically include: Very high levels of insulation, typically R-40 (RSI-7) walls and R-60 (RSI-10.6) roof, corresponding to SI U-values of 0.15 and 0.1 W/(m 2 ·K) respectively)
