Icynene^® and your Living Environment

Selecting the right insulation is a task that is often overlooked. However, your choice of insulation has a major impact not only on your pocketbook, but also on the long-term quality of the air you breathe and your overall health and comfort.

Whether you're thinking of remodeling or purchasing a new home, Icynene^® soft spray foam insulation and air barrier will protect you from the harmful effects of air leakage, helping you increase energy efficiency, improve indoor air quality and minimize the incidence of moisture-related problems (like mold and mildew). Its air-sealing properties also create a draft-free environment that offers long-term payback for energy savings of up to 50%. Not to mention, you can enjoy a quieter home by reducing unwanted noises that come from flushing toilets or a television in the other room, for instance.

Saving Energy Never Felt So Good!

Reducing the amount of energy required to heat and cool your home means you're also reducing greenhouse gas emissions for a healthier planet. You can further reduce your home's carbon footprint when insulating with Icynene^® because its 100% water-blown formulation contains no PBDEs, HFCs or any other synthetic blowing agent that can off gas into the home (and affect your and your family's health).

How Do you choose the right insulation?

R-value offers a highly recognizable standard for comparing an insulation's energy efficiency. R-Value helps us "compare by numbers" in that the higher the number, the better the insulation is at reducing energy loss. The truth is, building science tells us there are major leaks in the R-value story. R-value measures an insulation's ability to inhibit conductive heat flow but it doesn't address the primary method of heat transfer - air leakage (convection), which causes up to 40% of building energy loss.
