Foil-Foam-Foil Insulation
The Prodex Total Insulation we use here at Get Carports is a foil-foam-foil insulation with an R-value of 16 and 21. It’s made with a single layer rating of R16 and a double layer rating of R21. The R-value of insulation measures its thermal resistance; the higher the number, the greater the effectiveness of the insulation. Simply put, the higher the R-value, the thicker the insulation, making it easier to resist heat flow.
