"Left to right, materials both for walls and doors are the same: wood, steel, stone (granite). The rightmost one is a double-layer wall with a buffer, both walls are steel (cmbnd1 is the temperature in the buffer layer, cmbnd2 is the room inside). Bckgr is the temperature of the "outside" area (hangar itself); Init temp is the starting temperature of every room before every experiment. Every room has a standard volume and exactly the same amount of furniture. During every test, the rooms were exposed to extreme outside conditions for about 15 seconds at speed multiplier x3.

Now, here are the results:
bckgr wood1 wood2 steel1 steel2 stone1 stone2 cmbnd1 cmbnd2
Init temp: +12 +10 +10 +10 +10 +10 +10 +10 +10
Cold temp: -50 -38 -14 -38 -14 -38 -14 -26 -15
Heat temp: +143 +59 +20 +59 +20 +59 +20 +42 +19
As we can see, the materials used had nothing to do with thermal insulation and behaved exactly the same regardless of whether the outside environment was colder or hotter than the inside. The only unusual thing I've spotted was that the double-walled room was cooling off a little bit faster, but was also heating up a little bit slower.

Conclusion: walls material does not matter when it comes to insulation; only walls' thickness does. Additionally, buffer-fitted walls might behave somewhat abnormally, but not to the point of being significantly more or less effective than 2-wide walls."

If you use a double layer wall, no heat is transfered between two adjecent rooms.

This is the reason why the double layered room are mostly not affected by that extreme temp.

spoiler alert, doublewalls help, material doesnt make a diference and airlocks are awesome, also a tem chamber may be interesting

:D good luck at work/whatever

If I'll get around to actually making it - sure. ;D

Cool! I'm interested to see how mountain roofs work. Thanks!~ maybe a different picture, and you provide the link to it?

I'll consider that, although there's a reason I haven't posted the three-walls one: too big and clunky to show as a screen and has no actual diverging numbers. I'll check roofs (maybe even today, if I'll have some free time), if there'd be a difference, I'll post the end result. ;D

New test!? :D

If you mean, mountain walls - there seems to be no difference between it and any other type of material; however, if you mean the roof tiles, they almost definitely affect your insulation in a positive way; by how much, is yet to be determined. ;D

Also, do you know the effectiveness of mountain stone as insulation?

@Lance Hardwood, it's from this mod which adds just a few new floors, instead focusing on making the default ones look better. However, there are a couple new ones in it, Danger-style tiles included.
