Healthier

The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently rated indoor air pollution as one of the five most urgent environmental issues accounting for over $1 billion in direct healthcare costs each year.

In fact, the EPA, the American Lung Association (ALA) and the Envirodesic Certification Program, all believe that the air in most home is likely to be ten times more polluted than the air outside.

Of all the building materials used in a home, the choice of insulation can have major impact on the long-term quality of the air you breathe and your health.

Quieter

If you live near a busy street, an airport, or in a multiple dwelling, you know all about airborne sounds. The unwanted noises that can invade your living space, hindering your comfort and enjoyment. A loud stereo from the family room or bathroom noises can also be irritating. Heating, ventilation, and air conditioning equipment is another source of annoying sounds.

Sound travels most commonly through air, but it can also pass through solid objects, causing them to resonate.

Icynene® can help reduce airborne sound from penetrating your home, and forms a effective air seal that eliminates the air gaps through which sound travels easiest. It is also superior in controlling mid-range frequencies which include the human voice and stereo music.

More Energy Efficient

30% - 40% of your energy bill can be attributed to air leakage. A typical 1,800 sq. foot house leaks enough air in a 24-hour period to fill 1-2 Goodyear blimps. By insulating with Icynene®, air infiltration is substantially reduced, and heating and cooling equipment does not have to work as hard to provide a comfortable environment.

With Icynene®, your energy requirements will be significantly lower and you save money on longer lasting heating, ventilation and air conditioning equipment. As energy costs rise, you can bank on the fact that your lower energy bills will become an important resale feature.

Additional Benefits:

Icynene® insulates and “draftproofs” a building at the same time. Its performance is less installation sensitive than factory manufactured insulation materials. It is an effective “breathing” air barrier that can adjust to movement and maintain a seal against energy-robbing air leakage for the life of your home. Convective air movement inside wall cavities is virtually eliminated, providing more uniform temperatures throughout your home. The result is superior quality construction, with higher comfort levels at lower thermostat settings, and lower heating and cooling costs. Energy savings vary depending on building design and location.

Icynene® is applied by spraying liquid components onto an open wall or ceiling surface. There they expand 100:1 in just seconds to provide a flexible foam blanket of millions of tiny air cells, filling building cavities and sealing cracks and crevices in the process. It adheres to virtually all surfaces, sealing out air infiltration. Excess material is easily trimmed off, leaving a surface ready for drywall or other finish.
