With energy costs taking such a huge bite out of the monthly budget, it's little surprise that energy efficiency is the top consideration among those who are considering insulation options. Whether you are planning new construction or wish to upgrade the outdated fiberglas insulation in your existing home, we have energy saving solutions for you.
For New Construction: ICYNENE.
Using Icynene® soft foam insulation and air barrier material is one of the best ways to improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort. As a complete insulation and air barrier, Icynene minimizes air leakage in the building structure, which allows for HVAC equipment rightsizing. This saves dramatically on initial equipment costs and ongoing utility costs - Icynene can save up to 50% every month in energy costs versus traditional energy options.
When taking into consideration all other costs associated with creating an airtight thermal envelope, it becomes obvious why Icynene is the preferred insulation that guarantees increased energy efficiency. With Icynene's exclusive 31-Day Payback Formula, we can help you calculate the cost of Icynene® versus traditional insulation options. This formula takes into account all of the variables that impact the efficiency of insulation, so a more accurate comparison can be made.

Previously, only new homes could benefit from all the advantages of foam insulation. Now, with Applegate’s non-expanding high R-value foam, you can have foam installed in your existing home.
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 does what others cannot — flowing through empty space and across old materials to fill the wall cavity. Applegate R Foam can be injected into the wall cavity from either the interior or the exterior of the home. It can even be installed behind existing brick.
The video above clearly shows how the process works. There is no need to rip apart any type of wall to get the foam into the structure itself
R-Foam and foam in general is the most effective form of insulation currently available with a high R-factor of 4.6 per inch. So you will experience significant savings on your heating and cooling costs. In addition to energy savings, foam brings other benefits such as reduced air infiltration, acoustical benefits, increased safety in the event of a fire and even strengthens the structure itself.
For new construction, don't miss your chance to get it right the first time—with Icynene foam insulation

Even a quick glance at Icynene spray foam insulation next to traditional fiberglas insulation will show you the important difference—it fills all the voids, insulating and forming an effective air barrier at the same time. In the lower right is traditional fiberglas, on the left is the Icynene.
For Existing Homes, now there is Applegate R-Foam perfect for use with homes that have typical drywall construction and fiberglas batt installed.
