Residential Architect 

Every structure is different, varying with time, place, and client.  Your goal is to design a space that offers versatility for each household member and their varied activities. Icynene® offers flexibility and adaptability for easy integration into versatile design plans to suit the varied lifestyles of each client and occupant. 

With Foamco's professional Icynene® applicators, complex detailing is a breeze. Cathedral ceilings, steel structures, domed ceilings; arches and other unusual shapes do not impede the performance of this unique insulation and air barrier system.  Icynene® seals all cavities, crevices and voids to deliver a perfect fit for walls, attics, ceilings and floors. 

Sprayed on as a liquid, Icynene® expands to 100 times its initial volume within seconds, permanently adhering to the surfaces of the surrounding building materials while completely filling and sealing all joints, crevices and gaps. Creating the perfect air-seal allows Icynene® to deliver acoustic characteristics that make it ideal for reducing airborne sounds that originate from both, the internal environment (home theaters and playrooms) and the external environment (street traffic and airplanes). Icynene® also dampens sounds around plumbing runs so that the occupants remain undisturbed by flushing toilets and running showers. The result?  A home that contributes to reduced stress levels and superior comfort and satisfaction. 

Sustainable Design.

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.
