With energy costs taking such a huge bite out of the monthly budget, it's little surprise that energy efficiency is the top consideration among those who are considering insulation options.

How do you choose the right insulation?

R-value offers a highly recognizable standard for comparing an insulation's energy efficiency. R-Value helps us “compare by numbers” in that the higher the number, the better the insulation is at reducing energy loss. The truth is, building science tells us there are major leaks in the R-value story. R-value measures an insulation's ability to inhibit conductive heat flow but it doesn't address the primary method of heat transfer – air leakage (convection), which causes up to 40% of building energy loss.

Using Icynene® soft foam insulation and air barrier system is one of the best ways to improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort. As a complete insulation and air barrier, Icynene® minimizes air leakage in the building structure, which allows for HVAC equipment rightsizing. This saves dramatically on initial equipment costs and ongoing utility costs - Icynene® can save up to 50% every month in energy costs versus traditional energy options.

When taking into consideration all other costs associated with creating an airtight thermal envelope, it becomes obvious why Icynene® is the preferred insulation that guarantees increased energy efficiency. With Icynene's exclusive 31-Day Payback Formula, we can help you calculate the cost of Icynene® versus traditional insulation options. This formula takes into account all of the variables that impact the efficiency of insulation, so a more accurate comparison can be made.

Icynene® is becoming the standard for providing maximum building envelope performance. The pour and spray formulations of Icynene® represent a breakthrough in the science of moisture and thermal management. It is also the leading 100% water-blown foam insulation that minimizes air leakage for increased energy efficiency, healthy environments, and reduction of airborne sounds with no loss of R-value over time. Icynene® will not shrink, sag or settle and adheres to most construction materials making it perfect for walls, attics, ceilings and floors.

Icynene® takes the place of fiberglass, tape, foam & caulking, and eliminates the labor intensive work associated with air-tightness detailing when insulating with conventional insulation products.
