Calculating Alternate Floor ProtectionMaterialThermal Resistance: R valueThe R value is a measure of a material’s resistance to heattransfer.R value is convenient when more than one material is usedsince you can add the R values together, whereas you cannot do this for k value.The HIGHER the R factor means less heat is beingconducted through the non-combustible material to thecombustible material beneath it.The R value of a material must be equal or larger then therequired R value to be acceptable.
