Vaulted ceiling

An arched ceiling.

Coffered Ceiling

Tray Ceiling

A decorative ceiling treatment used to add volume and/or height to a room. 2 Common types are: 1) Angled area toward the center leading to a flat ceiling surface, and 2) Stepped square edged leading toward the center of the ceiling.

Vaulted Ceiling

A ceiling that angles upward on one or both sides to create volume in the room.

R Value

A measure of insulation. A measure of a material's resistance to the passage of heat. The higher the R value, the more insulating "power" it has. For example, typical new home's walls are usually insulated with 4" of batt insulation with an R value of R-13, and a ceiling insulation of R-30.

Coffered Ceiling

A ceiling with recessed square panels, bordered with trim for ornamental purposes.

Faced Insulation

insulation with an attached vapor retarder (kraft paper or foil-backed paper).

Fiber Glass Insulation

An energy-efficient glass fiber product manufactured by Owens Corning to ensure the best thermal and noise control performance available.

Flat Ceiling

A ceiling with no change in elevation.

Insulation Density

Denser insulation products have more fibers per square inch and, therefore, give you greater insulating power through higher R-values.

Metal Insulation Support

16" or 24" wire rod or crisscrossed wire to hold floor insulation in place.

Reflective Insulation System

Reflective insulation System is formed by a combination of low emittance surfaces and air spaces that provide reflective cavities, which have low levels of radiant energy transmission.

Un-faced Insulation

insulation with no attached vapor retarder.
