Floor protector’s come with various types of
specifications. To convert a floor protector’s specification
to an R-value, do one of the following:
• If the R-value is given, use that value—no
conversion is needed.
• If a K-factor is given with a required thickness
(T) in inches, use this formula: R-value = 1/K x
T
T
• If a C-factor is given, use the formula: R-value =
1/C
To determine the R-value of the proposed alternate floor

expressed as R-values.
• For multiple layers of floor protectors, simply
add the R-values of each layer to determine the
overall R-value of the layers.

If the overall R-value of your setup is greater than the
R-value of the specified floor protector, then your setup is
acceptable.
