I'm trying to understand the concept of U-value, and specifically, I want to know what the 'K' stands for in this context. Could you explain it to me?

Specifically, it is directly proportional to the thickness of the material. This means that as the thickness increases, the U-value also tends to increase.

The U-value of a material is closely related to its physical properties.

Additionally, the U-value is directly proportional to the K-value, or thermal conductivity, of the material. Materials with higher thermal conductivity transfer heat more easily, resulting in a higher U-value.

On the contrary, the R-value of a material behaves oppositely. It is inversely proportional to both the thickness and K-value of the material.

For instance, a material with a high K-value and low thickness will exhibit a high U-value but a low R-value. This combination indicates poor insulation performance, as heat will readily pass through the material.
