Timber wall

Timber wall without insulation

This comparison snapshot keeps the timber wall leaf bare so you can compare the uninsulated case before adding insulation.

Used for quick thermal checks of walls, roofs, and floors.

How it is calculated

How this wall build-up is calculated

R = d / lambda

Each layer adds resistance using R = d / lambda. The final U-value includes the wall leaf, the insulation, and the surface resistances.

U = 1 / (Rsi + sum(R layers) + Rse)
