Applegate produces "naturally superior" spray-in or blown cellulose insulations by reusing American resources to conserve American energy!

Whether your home was built a century ago or just completed, it's probably not too late for you and your family to enjoy the benefits of Applegate Insulation®!

Attics
. Chances are good that your home could benefit from Applegate Insulation® being added to your attic. Many homes have inadequate insulation—often none at all in older homes! Or your attic may be insulated with fiberglass that is doing a poor job. If needed, Applegate® can be easily applied over existing insulation. Researchers at Oak Ridge National Laboratories found that capping loose-fill fiberglass insulation with Applegate not only adds R-value, it actually restores the effective R-value that fiberglass insulation loses during cold weather.
 Researchers also learned that capping fiberglass with more fiberglass "fails to restore the lost R-value" lost in winter conditions.

Walls. While the process of adding Applegate® to the walls of existing buildings is a little more complicated (see the photos to the right), many homeowners of existing homes will benefit with Applegate Insulation® in the walls. A simple, quick inspection by an insulation professional is all that is needed to determine whether your home would benefit from additional wall insulation

Foam-LOK Advanced Insulation Systems

Air moves in and out of a building through every hole, crack and crevice. Roughly one third of air infiltrates through walls, ceiling, and floors. Adding an advanced insulation system is necessary to achieve optimal building performance.


Foam-LOK™ spray polyurethane foam is an advanced insulation system. Spray foam insulation can maximize a building or homeowners investment by sealing the building envelope to stop conditioned indoor air from escaping and prevent unconditioned air from entering a home. Air exchange in and out of a home is a leading cause of escalated energy bills. The mechanical systems that heat and cool buildings are continuously operating; reducing extreme temperature variations saves on the overuse of mechanical systems and leads to lower energy bills.

Insulation contractors
are often considered about half
a step above the porta-john guy.
That’s because insulation is one of
the most taken-for-granted systems
in a house. It’s installed in exterior
walls one day and covered up with
sheetrock.
 
Cellulose fiber is produced from paper, which in turn is
derived from wood. However the insulation is installed —
blown into the attic or damp-sprayed into wall cavities —
the material is the same. It comes packed in bags that
weigh from 25 to 35 pounds apiece. By
weight, about 82% to 85% of the material is cellulose
fiber — most of which is reprocessed from old newspaper
— with the remainder consisting of chemical fire retardant.
