- ?The measure of thermal resistance used in heat transfer. This is most commonly used to characterize thermal insulation materials in buildings. A higher R-value results in better insulation, which in turn can lead to lower energy costs"
SoundStop® Fiberboard offers a vast array of benefits to its users: Premium sound deadening capabilities, affordability and an easy installation method?just name a few. High R-value, or thermal insulation, is a benefit normally not found in sound deadening applications. As the measure of heat resistance used to characterize thermal insulation materials in buildings, a high R-value leads directly to lower energy costs. SoundStop® Fiberboard boasts an R-value of 1.2, resulting in a product which cannot only soundproof your rooms, but insulate them as well. View the chart below to see how the R-value ratings of SoundStop® Fiberboard stand up against the competition.
