Does not consider presence absence of reflective barriers.
													
																	Roof insulation r value per inch. 
								
	
		
	
																	For example two inches of extruded polystyrene with an r value of 11 has an rsi of 1 93721. 
																	The higher the r value the greater the insulation performance. 
																	Does not consider internal convection effects. 
																	All these have r values ranging from r 3 2 to r 3 8 per inch. 
															
													
								
	
		
	
																	The r value of closed cell foam is r 6 5 7 per inch. 
																	Air gap or air film 3 4 air space insulating properties. 
																	Know exactly how much you need with our project calculators. 
																	To convert rsi to r value multiply the rsi by 5 67826. 
															
													
								
	
		
	
																	When determining how much insulation you need don t guesstimate calculate. 
																	Closed cell spray foam has a far better r value per inch than other less effective insulations like cellulose fiberglass or even open cell foam. 
																	To convert the r value of a specific thickness of a material to rsi divide the r value by 5 67826.
