The "R" factor is approx. 11.6 because the walls are 13/4 inches thick, filled with rigid insulation by Celotex and a vapor barrier on each side to keep the cold air in and the hot air out.

R-Value is a rating of the material resistance to thermal penetration. The higher the number, the better the protection value. Many circumstances change the R-Value rating. See similar questions...

A reflective insulation reduces radiant heat transfer across air spaces by use of one or more high reflective/low emittance surfaces (Reflectivity of 90% or higher - Emissivity of 10% or less). This rate of heat transfer can be quantified in an R-value (for a specific application). See similar questions...

Though technically more complex than this, Damping factor is usually thought of as an indicator of how tight an amplifier will sound when powering bass speakers. A speaker's driving motor is a coil of wire (called a voice coil) mounted within a magnetic field. As this coil of wire moves within the field a voltage will be induced in the voice coil.

Yes, just like pregnancy, any factor that increases pressure in the veins could result in formation of varicose veins and spider veins. See similar questions...

Weather can slow down a move. But, most trustworthy movers will still move during harsh weather conditions. But, if the conditions get too severe, you will have to reschedule. See similar questions...

The exterior walls will yield a value of R-21 consisting of R-19 bats, exterior sheeting, siding, drywall and house wrap. The ceilings have blown insulation rating R-41. The basement will have an R-11 insulation. We also install a basic soundproofing package. Top See similar questions...

In the same way fiberglass or other mass insulations provide benefit, reflective insulation reduces conductive heat transfer. When a highly-reflective/low emittance material (such as aluminum foil) is installed in a building assemblage, in conjunction with an air space, (foil side of product) it provides a quantifiable R-value level of benefit.

You must not compromise structural integrity for insulation. Insulation has very little weight bearing strength. A topping slab over extruded polystyrene is satisfactory only for light residential loads. If you cannot insulate underneath the slab, then you should insulate well at the perimeter where most heat loss occurs. An uninsulated slab may not be as responsive as one with insulation, but the overall heat loss could be acceptable. See similar questions...

I have found this to be the number one concern among most quitters. In fact, fear stops more smokers from quitting than any other factor. When you understand why you're afraid to quit smoking you won't be afraid anymore. You'll handle the withdrawal period with authority and without feeling like you're going to be "missing something." Only if you insist. See similar questions...

A "tingle" is a stimulation of the epidermal layers of your skin. Most people feel their skin heat up or tingle after applying these lotions. The skin stimulation (irritation) brings blood closer to the surface of the skin. The blood brings melanin with it and you may receive a better tan. The tingle factors range from 1 to 10. The higher the number, the more intense the tingling. See similar questions...

Sony introduced Scale Factor Edit in 1999 (the first machine was the DHC-MD575 bookshelf system). Scale factor edit is a function that changes the volume level of previously recorded audio by adjusting all the scale factors in each soundgroup. Users can adjust a whole track's level, or taper the beginning and ending of tracks. This can be used conveniently, for example, to equalize the volume of tracks recorded at different levels or to soften abrupt changes in level at track boundaries. See similar questions...

Every batch of Manuka Honey is tested by an independent laboratory for UMF antibacterial activity, using a testing method developed at Waikato University. Each jar is guaranteed to have an antibacterial activity 2,5 times greater than standard antiseptic (minimum 10% carbolic equivalent). See similar questions...

Increased emotional stress is frequently a cause of acne flares. If standard acne treatment fails, or if stress is extreme, your dermatologist may suggest proper treatment or referral for improvement of your stressful situation. See similar questions...

A risk factor is something that is likely to increase the chances that a particular event will occur. Sometimes, this risk comes from something you do. Other times, there's nothing you can do about the risk. It just exists. See similar questions...
