| NOTES: | All " R " Values are from Mfg. Labels , R Values of assemblies are combinations of | ||||||
| INSULATION PRODUCTS the R Value of air spaces and other materials are not | |||||||
| calculated in these
examples BTUFOIL R VALUES
are based on the latest ASTM C 236 - revised to ASTM C 1224 - Horizontal |
|||||||
| This comparison is to illustrate the CO$T effectiveness of BTUFOIL per sq. ft. / per R-Value when used | |||||||
| as a stand alone insulation ( where applicable ) and in combination with mass insulation in | |||||||
| various wall assemblies | |||||||
| NOTE: The CO$T per R-Value and %. The CO$T per R-Value for BTUFOIL is LESS, The % Value ( less COST ) | |||||||
| for BTUFOIL is substantially less. This makes BTUFOIL a real VALUE to use. | |||||||
| COMPETITIVE WHEN COMPARED TO ALL THE OTHER ALTERNATIVES | |||||||
