Tips on Estimating Thermal Protection Costs from RSMeans
 | Insulation and fireproofing products are measured by area, thickness, volume or R-value. Specifications may give only what the specified R-value should be in a certain situation. The estimator may need to choose the type of insulation to meet that R-value. |
