Beware of Off-Brand Spray Foam Companies Insulation Issues

Many people use the term “Icynene” as a synonym for “spray foam insulation,” but nowadays there are other brands of spray foam insulation on the market besides Icynene. Problems like lack of adhesion have occasionally occurred when customers have used an imitation product that was falsely represented as an Icynene product.

Spray foam insulation problems aren’t common, but you could get them if you use a new, untested product or badly trained installers. Using licensed Icynene contractors, you’ll avoid these problems which you may get with other installers:

• Spray foam manufactured quality is low.
• Spray foam isn't thick enough.
• Spray foam installers missed some of the air leakage sites.
• Spray foam installers didn't understand the building envelope and sprayed either too little or too much.
• Spray foam contracts and pulls away from framing.
• Vapor barrier installed on the wrong side.
• Thermal barrier or ignition barrier not installed to code requirements.
• Do-it-yourself spray foam not applied correctly.

Protect yourself from off-brand spray foam insulation issues by being certain that what you get is indeed an authentic Icynene product, installed by a trained and licensed Icynene contractor. To find an Icynene licensed contractor near you, use our convenient contractor locator.
