A TV advertisement by a well-known insulation manufacturer states: it isn't the thickness of the insulating material that counts, it's the R-value. The ad shows that to obtain an R-value of 19, you need 18 ft of rock, 15 in. of wood, or just 6 in. of the manufacturer's insulation. Is this advertisement technically reasonable? If you are like most TV viewers, you don't know the R-value is defined as L/k, where L (in.) is the thickness of the insulation and k (Btu · in/hr · ft2 · oF) is the thermal conductivity of the material.
