understanding spray foam insulation r-value

In the construction industry, R-value (resistance value) is the measure of the length of time an object resists heat flow. The higher the number, the more energy efficiency is obtained.

According to the Department of Energy, sprayed foam or foam-in-place insulation is best, being twice as effective as conventional applications of glass fiber batts and blown-in cellulose per inch. And, because R-value is based on air movement and foam prevents all air movement, actual values are expected to be better than a rating of 6 per 1″ thick versus 3 for conventional insulation.
