If you are planning to install a U.S. Cooler walk-in cooler or freezer, you need to know the R-factor of the insulation you will use. The R-factor is a measure of how well the insulation resists heat transfer. The higher the R-factor, the better the insulation.
Why is the R-factor important? Because it affects the energy efficiency and performance of your walk-in cooler or freezer. A higher R-factor means less heat loss or gain, which means lower operating costs and better temperature control. A lower R-factor means more heat loss or gain, which means higher operating costs and worse temperature control.

How do you determine the R-factor you need?
There are several factors to consider, such as:
- The size and shape of your walk-in cooler or freezer
- The location and climate of your facility
- The type and frequency of usage of your walk-in cooler or freezer
- The temperature difference between the inside and outside of your walk-in cooler or freezer
- The local codes and regulations for insulation
