Hi All,
I am just wondering if anyone has advice for R ratings? I have a friend at TAFE studying architecture and she was taught that a higher R rating is not better, that it depends on the area.
She was saying for Newcastle area, a R2.5 is better than 3.5 as a 3.5 will not allow the heat to flow properly, therefore in winter the heat will not stay in...or was it in summer..which ever way it was, they were taught that it's not a matter of getting the biggest number, it's suiting to the climate.
The difference is, all of the people I talk to for the government grant say 3.5 is better. Apparently 3.5 is cheaper, is that why it's "better"? cause they get more money out of it?
Cheers
Chris
