U Values Explained:

You need to understand these two differences as they are important in relation to heat resistance and heat loss.

An R rating or R value represents how much heat loss the material resists from passing through it, usually on a single component and rates the energy efficiency; in relation to running costs, environmental impact etc so a high R rating equals good energy efficiency. In relation to price of the product you will be purchasing material that is cheaper to run and more energy efficient over the product's lifespan.

A U value represents measurement of actual heat loss passing through the material, so the lower this value the better for insulation effectiveness - less heat is lost therefore insulating your home better.

Building regulations require a minimum of 1.6 U value which all glassfibre insulations reach, whereas our Sheepsulation natural sheeps wool insulation, reaches and exceeds 1.4 which is a lower number than 1.6 so therefore it retains heat much better and has better insulating properties. This is why sheep have sheeps wool around their bodies rather than glassfibre! ha ha

So in these circumstances, the U value is more important than R rating as you need to know that you will be spending less money over a long period of time by using Sheepsulation compared to using rock/mineral/glassfibre insulation and the main advantage is that Sheepsulation is a natural renewable sustainable recyclable eco-friendly product compared to glassfibre insulation which aren't. So when you see these other carbon reducing insulations that scream energy efficiency, have a more closer look at the U values and you'll see that Sheepsulation is much better!
