  2. 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 ...

    While open-cell foams typically have R-values of 3 to 4 per inch (RSI-0.53 to RSI-0.70 per inch), closed-cell foams can attain R-values of 5 to 8 per inch (RSI-0.88 to RSI-1.41 per inch). This is important if space is limited, because it allows a thinner layer of insulation to be used.

  4. External wall insulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/External_wall_insulation

    Types of External cromatic wall insulation systems (EWI Systems pictured above) An external wall insulation system (or EWIS) is a thermally insulated, protective, and decorative exterior cladding procedure involving the use of expanded polystyrene, mineral wool, polyurethane foam or phenolic foam, topped off with a reinforced cement based, mineral or synthetic finish and plaster.

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Building_insulation

    The effectiveness of bulk insulation is commonly evaluated by its R-value, of which there are two – metric (SI) (with unit K⋅W −1 ⋅m 2) and US customary (with unit °F⋅ft 2 ⋅h/BTU), the former being 0.176 times the latter numerically, or the reciprocal quantity the thermal conductivity or U-value W⋅K −1 ⋅m −2.

  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.
