R-Value1 — Thickness

4.6 — 1”

16 — 3-1/2”

24 — 5-1/2”

These R-Values have been adjusted to comply with 16CFR460 using ASHRAE fundamental calculations.

RetroSeal Home Insulation

RetroSeal is a non-expanding injectable foam insulation that can be installed into new or existing homes. Installed in a 4” wall, RetroSeal achieves an R-Value of R-16, in a 6” wall an impressive R-24. RetroSeal’s versatility allows it to be installed in an existing wall containing inadequate insulation, or no insulation at all, even brick and basement block walls. This safe and cost effective insulation solution has a “Class A” or “Class 1” fire rating and is great for sound reduction. RetroSeal home insulation out performs any comparable product on the market today.

RetroSeal supplies the most technically advanced foam-in-place insulation products on the market today. RetroSeal products are a two part foam system that combine a unique spray-dried polymeric resin with a foaming catalyst to produce a “dry” foam that is unmatched in the industry.

RetroSeal products are shipped to the installer, where they are easily mixed prior to each job, ensuring product freshness and consistency. When combined with compressed air using foaming equipment, the foam flows throughout the wall, filling any irregular air voids and hard-to-reach places, resulting in a building that is well-insulated, quiet and energy efficient.

Before you buy, read what you should know about R-Values.

The chart shows the R-Value of this insulation. “R” means resistance to heat flow. The higher the R-Value, the greater the insulating power. Compare insulation R-Values before you buy. There are also other factors to consider. The amount of insulation you need depends mainly on the climate you live in. Also, your fuel savings from insulation will depend upon the climate, the type and size of your house, the amount of insulation already in your house, and your fuel-use patterns and family size. If you buy too much insulation, it will cost you more than what you’ll save on fuel. To get the marked R-Value, it is essential that this insulation be installed properly.
