2. R-value (insulation) - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/R-value_(insulation)

   R. -value (insulation) The R-value (in K ⋅ m 2/ W) is a measure of how well a two-dimensional barrier, such as a layer of insulation, a window or a complete wall or ceiling, resists the conductive [2] flow of heat, in the context of construction. [3] R-value is the temperature difference per unit of heat flux needed to sustain one unit of ...

3. Insulating concrete form - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulating_concrete_form

   Insulating concrete form or insulated concrete form (ICF) is a system of formwork for reinforced concrete usually made with a rigid thermal insulation that stays in place as a permanent interior and exterior substrate for walls, floors, and roofs. The forms are interlocking modular units that are dry-stacked (without mortar) and filled with ...

4. Styrofoam - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Styrofoam

   Styrofoam is a trademarked brand of closed-cell extruded polystyrene foam (XPS), manufactured to provide continuous building insulation board used in walls, roofs, and foundations as thermal insulation and as a water barrier. This material is light blue in color and is owned and manufactured by DuPont. DuPont also has produced a line of green ...

5. Building insulation material - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation_material

   Building insulation material. A building site for a row of riverside apartment blocks in Cambridge. The buildings are being constructed using a systems build with a steel frame and various prefabricated components. The blue plastic on the central building is the vapour barrier for the thermal wall insulation before the exterior cladding has ...

6. Rigid panel - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rigid_panel

   Rigid panel. A multi-family residential building under construction with rigid panel exterior insulating sheathing. Rigid panel insulation, also referred to as continuous insulation, [1] can be made from foam plastics such as polyurethane (PUR), polyisocyanurate (PIR), and polystyrene, or from fibrous materials such as fiberglass, rock and slag ...

7. Cementitious foam insulation - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cementitious_foam_insulation

   Cementitious foam insulation. 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.
