How Much Insulation Do I Need?

​Installing insulation in a home is one of the most important purchases a homeowner can invest in that continues to provide benefits for many years, often for the life of the home.

What is Spray Foam Insulation?

​Spray foam insulation uses advanced technology to create an insulation that serves several functions, like self-adhesion and moisture resistance. To illustrate, a typical residential exterior wall is only 3 ½” deep and typically insulated to R-13, often using fiberglass batts that should not be compacted.

Why Would I Want Spray Foam Insulation?

At Appleton Spray Foam Insulation, we do insulation better. Spray insulation has become the de facto insulation solution in modern construction due to its speed of installation, performance, and cost-effectiveness. Older forms of insulation like fiberglass and cellulose use decades old technology. In contrast, spray foam is technologically advanced to address the shortcomings of these other materials.

How is Spray Foam Insulation Better?

Most of us think of long pink batts and foam from a red can with a yellow lid when we envision how insulation is installed. Together these products do a good job of resisting thermal transfer and sealing up gaps. However, both products have downsides, like compaction over time and over expansion of the open cell foam.
