* Thermal resistance measurements have been made using a calibrated hot box operated in accordance with ASTMC976. R values were measured for product installed to form two 2.5 inches wide air spaces in a nominal 2 inch x 6 inch framing set 24 inches “on center”. Analysis of results was done in accordance with ASTM C1224. The R values observed are highly dependent on method of installation.

** R values calculated on a typical wall cavity system including 3/4 inch interior and exterior plywood, studs on 24 inch centers and naturally occurring air films.
