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.

Rigid panel insulation, also known as continuous insulation [13] can be made from foam plastics such as polyisocyanurate or polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag wool. Rigid panel continuous insulation is often used to provide a thermal break in the building envelope, thus reducing thermal bridging.
It does so by conduction. If the solid object includes bulk insulation between the two surfaces, that re-radiation and apparent IR transmission is reduced by the r-value of the bulk insulation. The bulk insulation is not somehow bypassed by the radiation.Ccrrccrr 01:22, 15 December 2007 (UTC)

Last week, a Fiji court found a Tennessee man guilty of killing his wife during their honeymoon on the island.
Key Points from 24/7 Wall St.: The maximum Social Security check in 2025 is $5,108. There’s a maximum check because there is a cap on how much income is used to calculate benefits.
Cementitious foam insulation is a cement-based thermal and acoustic insulation, [1] with an R-value similar to that of fiberglass. [2] It is installed as a foam with a consistency like shaving cream, [2] or as pre-cast slabs. [3] The current cost is similar to that of polyurethane foams. [2]
