Which value is typically used to rate the thermal resistance of insulation materials?

  1. R-Value

  2. U-Value

  3. Q-Value

  4. K-Value

The correct answer is: R-Value

The appropriate value for rating thermal resistance of insulation materials is the R-Value. This value is a numerical measure of the insulation's ability to resist heat flow, with a higher R-Value indicating better insulation. The other options, U-Value, Q-Value, and K-Value, are all incorrect as they refer to different properties or calculations related to heat transfer and not specifically insulation materials.
