Concrete block makes a cost effective and structurally sound wall but it has.
R value of 10 poured concrete wall.
Concrete block walls u values r values.
A wall s thermal resistance or its r value is its ability to slow the transfer of heat from one side to the other.
The r value of an uninsulated 8 inch thick basement wall built using normal weight concrete is 1 35 based on data from the 1993 american society of heating refrigeration and air conditioning engineers handbook.
Concrete or concrete block.
As we said before the r value measures the thermal resistance of a material.
However too many people confuse insulation properties with thermal mass many icf dealers d.
But concrete is a conductor of thermal energy not an insulator.
1 25 2 nominal 1 1 2 1 88 2x4 3 1 2 4 38 2x6 5 1 2 6 88.
Use the r value table below to help you determine the r value of your wall or ceiling assemblies.
For instance if you have a material with an r value of 12 attached to another material with an r value of 3 then both materials combined have an r value of 15.
To obtain a wall or ceiling assembly r value you must add the r values of the individual components together.
R value of 8 20cm poured concrete 0 64 r value of 4 10cm brick 0 80 r value of 1 3cm sheetrock 0 45 r value of 1 3cm sheathing 1 31.
Block thickness in inches.
I agree mostly with junio s answer.
Eps block forms poured in place with concrete block walls 1 7 8 thick 15 2 15 7 103 7.
If you had a 20 x 30 6m x 9m basement with concrete or concrete block walls your heat loss could easily be over 1 million btus per day through the walls.
Wood frame walls 3 plus r value of the insulation used floors above unheated spaces 2 plus r value of the insulation used.
Therefore technically it has no insulation value.
The insulation may be poured directly into walls or emptied into a simply wood or metal hopper which can be slid along the wall to direct the free flowing perlite into cores of cavities thus insulating all voids and air pockets.
