Thermal Conductivity Test


The "Thermal Conductivity Test" determines the insulation value that a product has, for example an R-Value. In this case, "Unity" Surfacing Systems products have the ability to provide you with an insulation value of 2.4 when tested via ASTM C518-98. This insulation rating will save you money on wasted energy costs that can be expensive over time. When considering a rubberized safety surfacing, flooring and paver product choose one has an R-Value that will save you money over time, and not one without that may cost you money. Below are the actual test results:
