The R-value of insulation indicates its capacity to resist heat, both coming and going from your home. The higher the R-value, the better your house will perform as it will no longer require as much heating and cooling, saving you money on the cost of utilities.
The most common materials are fiberglass batts, cellulose and loose-fill fiberglass, and spray foam.
