When buying insulation, compare the RSI (R) values and costs of different materials to determine which is the best value. The thermal resistance values quoted in this article are averages, representative of specific types of insulation. Your insuâ€" lation or building supply dealer can proâ€" vide you with information on the RSI (R) values of specific brand names. These values are usually included on the prodâ€" uct‘s packaging. An insulation material‘s RSI or R value is a measurement of its thermal resistance, or ability to resist heat flow. The higher the thermal resistance value, the better the material insulates. (RSI is the metric unit of measurement, and R is the imperial unit.) JEANâ€"CLAUDE DUVAL Insulation comes in a wide variety of shapes, sizes, types and colors.

The typical thermal resistances of glass fibre and mineral wool products is RSI 0.022/mm (R 3.2/in.) and RSI 0.023/mm (R 3.3/in.), respectively.
