Icynene® acts as a continuous air barrier to minimize the movement of humid air across the building envelope, which can produce condensation and lead to mold growth. With 40% of American households containing at least one member who suffers from allergies or asthma, insulating with Icynene® will deliver advanced moisture management and improved indoor air quality so that homeowners and their families can breathe easier. Icynene® 's air-sealing properties ensure that outdoor pollutants stay out and mechanically-ventilated fresh air stays in. 100% water-blown, Icynene® is environmentally-friendly, which makes it the safe insulation option.
While Icynene® works to keep moisture and pollutants out, it is also designed to keep energy in. Up to 40% of a building's energy loss is attributed to air leakage. Icynene® acts as a complete air barrier to seal building envelope for increased energy efficiency and total thermal comfort. Designing with Icynene® allows for the installation of a smaller, less expensive HVAC system so that homeowners can realize up to a 50% decrease in heating and cooling costs over conventional insulations. This means they realize initial savings of equipment costs and ongoing savings in utility costs. By insulating with Icynene® , homeowners also qualify for an energy efficient mortgage.
