Why the Proactive Choose Icynene: Problems Preempted for Life

As people become educated about the science of insulation, more and more are discovering both building performance and peace of mind on a whole new level — with Icynene. Problems that used to be commonplace, or even seem inevitable, can now be permanently avoided.

Help Prevent Energy Loss

Icynene doesn’t just insulate; it creates a superior air barrier compared to traditional insulation like fiberglass. When it’s sprayed into the wall cavity, it expands to fill the space, regardless of the size or shape. That includes cracks and crevices that other insulations couldn’t easily fill. It adheres to every surface it touches, creating a sealed environment. Thanks to the science of Icynene, problems like drafts can be a thing of the past, and energy bills can be reduced by up to 50%.

Help Prevent Mold

Because of the airtightness it delivers, Icynene spray foam insulation helps block airborne moisture from infiltrating the wall cavity. In cases of roof or plumbing leaks, after the leak has been fixed, Icynene’s light-density insulation will dry, reducing the potential for mold growth. Once dried, it continues to operate at peak performance levels. This is a significant and unique benefit offered by Icynene; problems related to moisture management are common among other types of insulation.

Help Prevent Air Quality Issues

By helping to reduce the risk of mold, Icynene also helps prevent the spores and toxins that get released into the air. In addition, airborne pollutants and allergens that can pass through the gaps left by other forms of insulation are much less of a threat as a result of the air-sealing capabilities of Icynene. Problems associated with asthma and allergies can therefore often be alleviated by using Icynene.

Prevent the Cost of Replacement

Icynene insulation comes with an industry-leading warranty. That’s because with Icynene, problems that are common with other forms of insulation just don’t occur, since there is no change in the insulation’s properties or performance over the life of the building.

A Note of Caution:  Beware of Off-Brand Spray Foam 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.

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 dealer/contractor near you, use our convenient contractor locator.
