Default "R" for insulation????

Styrofoam is R4-4.5" Blue or pink foamboard is R5" Foil faced
Polyisocyanurate foamboard is R7.2" R value is resistance to heat flow,
foam costs more, in certain areas it is better where area to insulate is
minimal, it also provides a vapor -air infiltration barrier.
