• What is a 'U' value?

  A 'U' value is the measurement of heat transmission through a material or assembly of materials. The U value of a material is a gauge on how well heat passes through the material and the lower the U value, the greater the resistance to heat and therefore has a better insulating value. The U value is generally used in the building and construction industry to specify assemblies of components which provide a suitable insulation and energy efficiency value. U-Value is expressed in units of W/m2 and relates to the amount of heat lost in watts (W) per square metre of material.
