Insulation Options
WALL INSULATION
Wall insulation is relatively straightforward. The depth of the wall cavity determines the thickness of the insulation and its consequent R-value.
Walls for our yurts can be constructed with either a 2x4 or 2x6 framework.
The 2x4 cavity allows for an R-11 insulation, with a possible upgrade
to R-13. The 2x6 wall insulation is R-21 (in some places R-19).
Below are the figures of how many square feet of wall insulation material you will need to purchase for the yurt of your choice. The square footage is the same whether the walls are 2x4 or 2x6, only the thickness of insulation changes.
| Yurt Size | Standard 7' Walls | 8'Taller Walls | 9' Walls |
| 15.5' | 278 sq. ft. | 318 sq. ft. | 350 sq. ft. |
| 20.5' | 380 sq. ft. | 434 sq. ft. | 478 sq. ft. |
| 25.5' | 470 sq. ft. | 540 sq. ft. | 592 sq. ft |
| 30.5' | 561 sq. ft. | 641 sq. ft. | 693 sq. ft |
