Is there a difference in the R-value of a HealthySeal in wall and ceilings?
R-values of insulating materials are measured in laboratories and are designated a nominal R-value per inch. In the wall or ceiling of a building, most factory made insulation materials suffer a reduction in performance due to air leakage and infiltration so their “real” insulating value may be as low as 50% of the nominal R–value of the insulation they contain. By contrast, the insulation of a wall containing HealthySeal will perform more closely to the laboratory tested R-value of the material and seal the wall cavity from air infiltration as well. HealthySeal is particularly well suited to steel frame construction. HealthySeal expands to 100 times its original size as it is installed, adhering to surrounding building components. It completely seals joints, crevices, and void including difficult to insulate spaces such as steel stud “U” and “C” sections, double studs, and non-standard stud locations. A continuous air and vapor barrier is formed around the building structure in a sin
