| R-VALUES ARE A KEY PERFORMANCE INDICATOR – HOW RELIABLE ARE YOURS? |
In many building designs, the insulation is chosen simply by comparing the published R-value at 75°F. But, to achieve improved building performance, industry thought leaders and building scientists have begun questioning stated R-values – affirming the importance of factors like climate.
|
| DOES YOUR INSULATION STAND UP TO REAL-WORLD CONDITIONS? |
Research has revealed findings that may surprise you. Some roofing insulations have the potential to lose 15% of their claimed thermal performance when it gets hot and in excess of 25% of their thermal performance* when it gets cold.
|
| FOR YEAR-ROUND OPTIMAL PERFORMANCE, DESIGN WITH CLIMATE-DRIVEN R-VALUE. |
Climate-driven R-value has been proven to be a more accurate measure of thermal energy performance in the field. For example, ROXUL® TOPROCK® DD and MONOBOARD® demonstrate improved performance at lower temperatures and only a slight decrease at warmer temperatures.
Ultimately, building science is clear: temperature can impact R-values considerably. Effective solutions do exist to improve your building’s efficiency and performance at roxul.com/buildingowners |

ROXUL TOPROCK® DD and MONOBOARD® offer you:
- Better R-value stability in extreme temperatures
- Improved dimensional stability for better performance
- Moisture resistance, reducing stress on roofing membrane
- Confidence of a 30-year Limited Thermal Warranty
