Insulation R-values are a measure of thermal resistance. In other words, it tells you how much resistance is being given to heat flow. The higher the number, the more resistance and thus the more insulating a certain type of insulation is. As an added bonus, better insulation R-values also mean that more sounds are blocked along with the extreme temperatures.

Here in Polk County, including Mulberry, Florida, the recommended insulation R-values are:

Attics- R30 to R60
Cathedral ceilings- R22 to R38
Wall cavities- R13 to R15
