The Challenge

Some homeowners with exterior brick walls face challenges when it comes to insulating their homes effectively. Traditional insulation methods often require interior work, which can be disruptive and aesthetically unappealing. In this particular case, the homeowner was concerned about preserving the exterior appearance of their brick home, especially when it came to matching the original red mortar.

As a result, the homeowner reported significant improvement in the overall comfort of their home. Rooms previously suffering from temperature imbalances were now consistently balanced, and there was a reduction in utility costs and external noise.

Gateway RetroFoam offers an innovative solution to insulate brick homes from the exterior while maintaining the home’s original appearance. The process involves drilling a series of 5/8″ diameter holes through the mortar t-joints to access the Wythe Cavity, a hollow space behind the bricks. This space is ideal for RetroFoam wall injection, completely filling the wall cavity to provide effective insulation from top to bottom and side to side around the entire home.

They did a remarkable job, even with clean up. My house now seems balanced in temperature and no room is hotter or colder than the other. I highly recommend you give their services a chance. You won’t be disappointed.”
