Residential Injection Foam Insulation | The Superior Insulation
The Market is Huge
The Department of Energy estimates at least 80 million existing homes need to be reinsulated.
Filling the voids in the sidewalls of these homes will effectively lower the escape of heated or cooled air to the outside, and also the amount of unconditioned air from the outside to enter the home.
Product Performance
In comparison to competitive brands of injection foam, Applegate R-Foam has:

Applegate R-Foam Insulation
- is versatile. It can be used to re-insulate older homes that contain little or no insulation, even if the wall cavity is partially filled with old, ineffective insulation.
Applegate R-Foam does what others cannot, flowing through empty space and across old material to fill the wall cavity.
Applegate R-Foam can be injected into the wall cavity from either the interior or from the exterior of the home.
It can even be installed behind existing brick.
R-Foam is biodegradable and excess foam is easily cleaned up and disposed of. R-Foam is a Class A building material and meets or exceeds all testing requirements of current building standards.
R-Foam foam solves the problem of drafty walls in poorly insulated homes. R-Foam is non-expanding injection foam that can be injected into walls of existing homes. It can be installed from the inside through the drywall or from the outside through the exterior siding or brick.
Foam flows around existing insulation in walls
Flows around pipes, wires and outlet boxes
Can be installed behind netting in new construction
Easily broom off excess
Existing Home Applications
» 1 Remove Siding
» 2 Drill Holes
» 3 Inject Foam
» 4 Patch Holes & Replace Siding
R-Foam Documentation
- 30-40% higher resin content resulting in higher foam density
- Lower water content, meaning less moisture in wall cavity
- Formulated with chemical cross linkers, meaning less foam shrinkage
- Contains 3 EPA Listed Antifungal Additives
- Literature that complies with the FTC consent decree for residential insulation products
- Product testing that meets code requirements (R-Foam does not use test results borrowed from other products)
- Class 1 Fire Rating when tested at the code-mandated foam thickness of 4-inches nominal (3.5 inches actual)
