What is the “R” Value of TemperGuard?
An R-Value is a measurement of resistance to the flow of conductive heat transfer. Since TemperGuard is designed to reflect radiant heat and not conductive heat, it does not actually have and R-Value. Any “theoretical” or “equivalent” R-Value depends on the number and size of the airspaces surrounding the TemperGuard and on the direction of the heat flow. Since TemperGuard is usually installed on top of existing mass insulation, its R-value is a moot point. We do not attempt to assign any R-Value to TemperGuard, as it is not relevant and somewhat misleading. It is TemperGuard’s ability to reflect heat and not absorb heat that makes it such an energy saver.
