Improved Indoor Air Quality (IAQ)

Icynene® reduces random air leakage and limits the penetration of outdoor allergens and pollutants. Combined with proper mechanical ventilation, Icynene® foam insulation is the ideal base for a healthy structure. Because Icynene® is a 100% water-blown application, formaldehyde-free and contains no harmful gases, it is the insulation of choice for many of the American Lung Association's “Health Houses” to help inhabitants breathe easier.

Effective Moisture Management

Icynene® foam insulation helps to prevent condensation and reduces the potential for mold growth within walls and ceilings. Even if Icynene® gets wet, the material doesn't wick water. Icynene®'s open-celled structure allows it to remain unaffected by wetting and drying so that it can continue to operate at peak performance levels. Water simply drains right through Icynene® without spreading so that it, as well as surrounding materials, can quickly dry.

Increased Sound Control

By sealing the building envelope, Icynene® effectively minimizes airborne sounds. Icynene® is perfect for dampening noises from home theaters, playrooms, plumbing runs and neighborhood traffic.

Maximum Energy Conservation

Icynene® has earned the Energy Star® because, when installed homeowners can look forward to reduced monthly energy costs of up to 50% versus conventional insulation. And the savings don't stop there. Eliminating random air leakage allows Icynene® insulated homes to maintain the same heating and cooling performance with smaller, less expensive HVAC equipment.

Go Green with Icynene®

Icynene® is an example of a "Green" building product that pays home and business owners numerous dividends – both short and long term. As energy costs rise, you can bank on the fact that your lower heating and cooling costs will become an important resale feature. Green upgrades, such as Icynene®, contribute significantly to higher home resale values.

The Appraisal Journal conducted studies that demonstrated the increasing value a home garners by becoming more energy efficient. Including energy efficient upgrades as part of your home improvements can increase the value of your home by approximately $20 for every $1 reduction in annual utility bills.

Icynene® is a member of the United States Green Building Council (USGBC) and contributes to earning LEED points in sustainable building projects.  Icynene® is also GreenSpec® listed because it reduces energy consumption, reduces construction waste, improves indoor environmental quality, and eliminates condensation and subsequent mold, moisture and rot problems - creating a more durable structure.

Ask for Icynene® by name

Homeowners are more involved in decision-making and specifying products because they are better educated about Green Building issues, such as energy efficiency and home health. Your decision to go with foam insulation is the right one. Just be sure you purchase the right foam insulation. Do not be misled into thinking that all foam insulation products are equal. Settle for nothing less than Icynene® – the only proven foam insulation that delivers the performance features that homeowners need for comfortable, healthy living.
