R-value is a familiar term to any specifier. In construction, R-value is a measure of an insulated material’s ability to resist heat flow from one side or the other. Since it measures thermal resistance, the higher the R-Value, the better the insulation performs. R-value is useful for static elements like walls and roofing. It is much less useful for complex or dynamic elements—like rolling doors.
