Why You Deserve Better Wall cavity Insulation.<\/span><\/h3>

Many people think their walls have something in their walls so it is \u201cOut of Sight. Out of Mind\u201d. The reality is that the technology of even 1990 vs 1890 is drastically different. Many homes in Minnesota have very thin and outdated fiberglass in the walls if your home was build after 1960. Before that many homes were fitted with balsam wool which was In many cases only a \u00bd\u201d thick and provided very little protection for your comfort in summer and winter.<\/p>\n

Is Your Home Built<\/strong><\/p>\n

Times have changed and the technology for injecting foam into an existing home is finally available in a safe non-toxic odorless form that will keep you and your family safe and comfortable for generations to come.<\/p>\n

With RetroFoam, we can fully insulate your walls without having to tear your house apart.<\/span><\/h3>

RetroFoam is designed to be injected into the wall cavities of existing homes. As it is being injected, it is the consistency of shaving cream so it fills every corner of the cavity and around plumbing and electrical work. After the foam cures wires can still be pushed through the foam in electrical lines need to be fished down a wall. RetroFoam can be installed by simply removing one course of siding whether its steel, vinyl, wood lap or even half log siding. For other types of exterior cladding such as stucco or concrete block, 5\/8\u201d holes are used to access the stud cavities. Even paneled siding that is not removed can be drilled through and coved with trim to make the plugs disappear.<\/p>\n

    This sounds like magic \u2013 how does injection foam insulation work?<\/span><\/h3>

    The key to understanding this special product is how it\u2019s mixed and applied. Our injection foam is a non-expanding composite of water-based resin, foaming agent and pressurized air. We mix it on-site and mechanically inject it into your home\u2019s walls. The only steps we need to take to gain access to the insulation space are removing a strip of siding and drilling a series of small holes in the exterior wall. Once the injection foam is in place, we seamlessly plug the holes and replace the siding. Remember this is a non-expanding foam and will not blow out your walls.<\/p>\n
