When it comes to choosing the right insulation, consider this. Insulation products that deliver optimal energy efficiency should possess the following characteristics:

• Air-sealing capability to control energy-robbing air leakage, allowing the furnace and air conditioning equipment to work less hard and more efficiently.
• Consistent performance at the rated R-value through the life of the building. Insulation should not sag/settle or off-gas within your walls over time, creating gaps and voids and losing its R-value.
• Flexibility that lets the insulation expand/contract with your home to ensure that the insulation completely adheres to the walls and eliminates any air gaps in the walls that allow air to pass through. Icynene® soft and flexible foam creates a seamless air-seal, helping homeowners achieve potential energy savings of up to 50% every month versus traditional insulation. See what you could save with Icynene® insulation and air barrier, which minimizes air leakage better than conventional insulation.

For example in a cold climate like  New York

House Size = Two-story design (approximately 3000 sq. ft)

Icynene^® can reduce air leakage up to 7X better than conventional (fibrous) insulation, which means you could save as much as:

$85/month on heating/cooling costs
$1025/year on heating/cooling costs
