Get Your Whole Home Winter-Ready: Don't Forget the Walls

Don’t just insulate your attic, your walls play an important role in keeping your home at comfortable, consistent temperatures. The walls surrounding your home cover a large surface area that is exposed to the drastic temperature changes throughout the year, meaning walls in your home can lose just as much heat as your attic! 

Walls frequently receive the most contact from the outside air, causing cold temperatures to create cold spots along the perimeter of your home. This will then cause your heating systems to work harder, causing energy bills to skyrocket. 


Signs That it May Be Time to Look into Wall Insulation

• Higher heating bills
• Surrounding walls feel cold to the touch
• Heating Systems are working harder than ever, and seem to never turn off
• Uneven temperatures that seem inconsistent and frequently uncomfortable
• Mold or condensation
• Visible cracking, gaps, or settlement
  
  

Here at Primary Home Improvements, we offer a RetroFoam Wall Injection material that is injected into your existing wall cavities. Upgrading your home with whole-home insulation can be a worthwhile investment that will improve your home’s energy efficiency for years to come. 

Other Benefits of Our RetroFoam Injection Foam include…

• Prevention of mold, mildew, or condensation within your walls. When the RetroFoam material fills the entire wall cavity, it leaves no room for moisture by sealing all gaps, cracks, and leaks.
• Decreases outside noise, creating a quieter home. The foam insulation will soften unwanted outside noise by breaking the direct path of sound and vibrations.
• Maintain consistent temperatures by preventing drafts from entering your home. Insulation in walls will air seal the space and create a thermal barrier that will keep your home comfortable.
• RetroFoam is completely non-toxic, environmentally friendly, and odor-free. The formula is made of a tripolymer-based resin that does not release harmful gases or chemicals.
• Class 1 fire-rated, meaning the foam has the lowest possible ability to spread a flame.
