How it is calculated

Why the comparison matters

R = d / lambda

The page is built to answer a search query directly and then hand the user off to the calculator for adjustments.

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

That makes the page useful both for search discovery and for conversion into actual calculations.

Notes

Comparison note

This page is useful for users who search the generic mineral wool phrase rather than a specific wall type.

Practical note

Use the main wall calculator if you need a different wall leaf or a different insulation thickness.
