Unilin U Value Calculator

Thickness (mm): Density (kg/m³): Conductivity (W/mK):

Introduction & Importance

Unilin U Value Calculator is an essential tool for architects, engineers, and construction professionals to determine the thermal transmittance (U-value) of Unilin products. U-value is a crucial factor in building energy efficiency and compliance with building regulations.

How to Use This Calculator

Enter the thickness of the Unilin product in millimeters.
Enter the density of the product in kilograms per cubic meter.
Select the conductivity of the product from the dropdown menu.
Click the ‘Calculate’ button.

Formula & Methodology

The U-value is calculated using the formula: U = 1 / (t * ρ * λ), where:

U is the thermal transmittance (U-value) in W/m²K,
t is the thickness of the material in meters,
ρ is the density of the material in kg/m³, and
λ is the thermal conductivity of the material in W/mK.

Interactive FAQ

What is the U-value?

The U-value, or thermal transmittance, is a measure of how well a building element or construction product conducts heat. It’s expressed in W/m²K (watts per square meter per Kelvin).
