WHAT ARE THE ADVANTAGES OF ICYNENE ® INSULATION?
A- As well as simplifying the construction process for the builder, Icynene ® Insulation eliminates the major causes of building envelope problems, airborne moisture movement and entrapment. Blower door tests have shown that a still framed home insulated with Icynene ® Insulation, and no polyethylene vapor barrier, measures at 1.2 ACH at -50 Pa. depressurization. This is well under the 1.5 ACH50 rating for the most energy efficient home. Heating and cooling costs are typically reduced by 30-50%, and smaller, less expensive heating and cooling equipment can be used. FOR THE HOMEOWNER THE ADVANTAGES ARE: Compared to other technologies, The Icynene Insulation System ® is a less expensive method of building an energy efficient home. A more energy efficient home means that energy costs can usually be reduced by 30-50%. This creates more comfortable home, free from drafts and cold spots and a quieter home because Icynene ® creates a continuous sound barrier against outside noises. A healthie
