Construction R-value Calculator
This webpage calculates the R-value of walls, roofs and suspended floors for most insulation material R-values. It uses the "isothermal
planes" method, the same method as used in NZS4214:2006.
Some of the possible material combinations may not be suitable for actual constructions, i.e. EPS based claddings directly fixed on timber
framing. Please make sure to select only appropriate material combinations.
If your construction is not listed, please send an e-mail to designnavigator@[Link] with a description and a detail drawing (pdf) of it.
Please select the element type. Then choose the construction details and enter the R-value of the insulation either directly in the text box or
by choosing a product from the right panel .
