Applegate® RTF Spray Foam System vs Froth Kits | ![]() | ![]() | ![]() |
|---|---|---|---|
| Froth Kit 200 | Froth Kit 600 | No Heat Foam (Closed Cell) 5-gal Pail Set | |
| Weight A + B kit (lbs) | 39 lbs. | 118 lbs. | 90 lbs. |
| Average $ per kit | $ 373.58 | $ 827.93 | $ 350.00 |
| Typical Yield in Board Feet | 170 | 510 | 450 |
| $ per Board Feet | $ 2.20 | $ 1.62 | $ 0.78 |
| Foam Costs of small attic and rim joist project (836 board ft * cost/bd ft) | $ 1,837 | $ 1,357 | $ 652 |
| Material Costs for 10 sets (TEN small projects*) | $ 18,370 | $ 13,570 | $ 6,520 |
| Material Costs SAVINGS with Applegate Spray Foam verses Froth Packs | $ 11,850 (64% savings) | $ 7,050 (52% savings) | |
| Notes:
Per The Dow Chemical Company for Froth Kits: The theoretical yield has become an industry standard for identifying certain sizes of two-component kits. Figures are from ideal test lab conditions for temperature, humidity, and surface conditions, etc. Typical yield is averaged at 85% of stated theoretical yield. *Small project home is using a 725 sq ft home. Attic area 33 ft x 22 ft = 726 sq ft, coverage to apply 1" monolithic coating of foam PLUS Rim Joist coverage of 110 bd. ft. (perimeter of home 22+33+22+33 = 110), therefore 726 bd. ft. + 110 bd. ft. = 836 bd. ft. |
