7 V: {% a; o# U1 nThe higher R value, The better insulation performance.
In winter, the hot air always floats up due to thermal buoyancy, so R value for the roof is normally higher than that for exterior wall.
Hope my answer helps.

R19 is not commonly used.

R值固然重要，但隔热材料更重要。即使R值相同，不同的隔热材料性能也是不一样的。
