Foam Insulation
Isn't it all the same?
While both Spray Foam and Injection Foam insulation can make your home more energy-efficient and comfortable the biggest difference for the homeowner is in the application of the foam.
Spray Foam Insulation is applied in situations requiring the insulation to adhere to flat surfaces such attic roof decks, crawl spaces, or exposed walls. For existing walls drywall and old insulation must be removed because Spray Foam requires a clean surface to adhere to, Spray Foam is applied from the interior.
Crusader RetroFoam, LLC specializes in Injection Foam Insulation.
Injection Foam Insulation requires an enclosed cavity because it does not adhere to a surface, rather it fills the cavity. This makes it ideal to add insulation to existing walls and concrete block walls. Old fiberglass insulation does not need to be removed before RetroFoam is injected. This is easily done from the exterior.
