Thermal Insulation Estimator
Estimate thermal and acoustic insulation materials for walls, roofs, floors, and pipes with R-value and U-value calculations.
What is the Thermal Insulation Estimator?
The Insulation Calculator helps you specify and estimate insulation materials for building envelopes and mechanical systems. Input your required R-value or U-value, and the tool recommends insulation thickness and calculates material quantities. Supports mineral wool, EPS, XPS, PIR, spray foam, and other common insulation types for walls, roofs, floors, and pipe insulation.
