    The document provides typical U-values for various building materials used in walls, floors, roofs, attics, and windows. U-values indicate how well a material insulates with lower numbers indicating better insulation. For walls, cavity wall insulation and external wall insulation have U-values as low as 0.19. Floor insulation U-values range from 0.44 to 0.45. Pitched roof insulation and attic room insulation can achieve U-values as low as 0.16. Window U-values improve from 5.6 for single glazing to 1.5 for double glazing with argon.
