The maker's Cocoon insulation has been rebranded as GreenFiber to promote the natural fiber advantages of the cellulose insulation. Because it is made of 85% recycled content, the maker says GreenFiber diverts approximately 500,000 tons of paper product from landfills annually. In addition to increased R-value, GreenFiber also helps create a quieter home environment with a 0.9 noise-reduction coefficient.

Styrofoam SIS Structural Insulated Sheathing combines structural shear bracing, insulation, and water-resistive barrier protection in one product. The lightweight material saves on labor costs by allowing installers to complete three steps in one pass around the house. The ½ -inch-thick boards offer an R-value of 3, and 1-inch-thick boards have an R-value of 5.5. Additionally, proper installation can reduce air infiltration for further increased efficiency.

Designed for frame walls, the combination of reflective and spray-foam insulations makes Flash & Foil an insulation system that lowers cost, addresses radiant heat flow, increases R-values, and can function as a vapor retarder, the maker says. Installation begins by spraying a thin layer of foam insulation on the back side of the frame wall to seal the cavity, then applying the maker's three-layer VR Plus Shield reflective insulation to the face of the studs. Depending on the foam used, boosted R-values can range from R-11 to R-20.
