What is R-Value?
The ability of insulation to prevent heat from leaking in or out is described as its “R-value”. The higher the R-value, the better it insulates.
How much should you have?
The R-value you will need depends on your climate zone (see map & chart below). Atlanta residents are in zone 3.
