The Best Insulation for Existing Homes
Do any of these problems sound all too familiar in your home?
You can feel air creeping into your house through your outlets, light switches, and around your windows.
Your monthly heating and cooling costs are costing you a fortune because your home doesn't maintain a constant temperature.
During the summer, you're left running every fan you own, but in the winter, you're bundling up with extra socks and blankets.
Old cellulose and fiberglass in exterior walls are not good enough to stop airflow in your home.
If you have no insulation, it's worse -- nothing will stop that air from getting in or heat from getting out.
Injection foam insulation creates an air seal that will stop air movement. Stopping that air leakage can make a huge difference in the comfort of your home, as well as the energy efficiency.
Although this is rare, it is possible.
It’s important to share these concerns with your local RetroFoam dealer so both of you are on the same page before the install takes place. Learn more.
Absolutely.
The foam is very soft and pliable, which makes it easy to fish wires through it. So, if you want to add an outlet or change a light switch, you won’t have any problems. Learn more.
Early on in the installation process, the installer makes sure that the wall cavity is accessible from the bottom to the top.
During the actual installation, the installer runs the hose for the injection foam from the top of the cavity to the bottom, ensuring it is completely filled. Learn more.
You definitely can, but there’s a catch.
It’s always important to approach your home as an entire system. If you only insulate one wall, you probably won’t see the results you’re hoping for. Learn more.
Yes, RetroFoam can help make a home a little quieter, but that’s not what it’s designed to do.
If you’re looking to make your home quieter or completely soundproof a room, you might want to look at options specifically made for that. Learn more.
