Rigid polyurethane foam is perceived as the material that provides ideal insulation in a wide variety of applications. Its flexibility during the assembling process transforms it into a material that can adjust to various surfaces in a remarkable manner, providing the necessary execution for each application situation. They have excellent thermal insulation, chemical resistance, and…

Thermal insulating materials are determined by their respective R-values.  The R–value is a measure of an insulation’s ability to reduce the rate of heat flow under specified test conditions. The primary mode of heat transfer impeded by insulation is conduction, but insulation also reduces heat loss by all three heat transfer modes: conduction, convection, and radiation. When it comes to choosing the right installation for your home, it is not…

Insulation can be thermal or acoustic but we will be making more emphasis on thermal in this write-up. Thermal insulation covers heating and cooling, so this is applicable to most countries including Nigeria. For optimal energy efficiency, your home should be properly insulated from the roof down to its foundation. The illustration below shows all…
