Thermal Resistance: R value
The R value is a measure of a material’s resistance to heat
transfer.
R value is convenient when more than one material is used
since you can add the R values together, whereas you can
not do this for k value.
The HIGHER the R factor means less heat is being conduct
-
ed through the non-combustible material to the combustible
material beneath it.
The R value of a material must be equal or larger then the
required R value to be acceptable.
NOTE
: A Quadra-Fire floor protector (Part 811-0730) is
available through your dealer to be used as a floor protector
for the section under the insert body only. Floor protection
to front and sides of insert appliance must be supplied in
addition to this part.
