Ring’s End is committed to helping its customers ― both professional and non-professional ― build energy-efficient homes and buildings. A key to that process is choosing and installing the proper insulation for each application. Insulation is measured by its R-Value or its resistance to thermal conductivity. The higher the R-Value, the greater the resistance to heat passing through. Insulation that is sprayed in or blown-in should be supplied and installed by specialists. Ring’s End offers a wide variety of insulation that can be installed without special skills or equipment.
Types of Insulation
 |
Fiberglass Insulation Fiberglass insulation has been the building-industry standard for most of the last half-century. Ring’s End carries fiberglass insulation in thicknesses from 3 1/2 in. to 12 in. with R-Values from R-13 to R-38. Fiberglass insulation comes either as rolls that have to be cut to length or as pre-cut batts that fit in standard stud bays, either 16-in. or 24-in on center. |

Rigid Foam Insulation Ring’s End carries rigid foam insulation that can be applied to the outside of a building frame or between framing members to increase the thermal efficiency of the wall, ceiling, or floor. Rigid insulation can be applied below ground to the outside of the foundation as well as below poured concrete slabs. As with other forms of insulation, the thicker the foam, the greater the R-Value. |
