The Green Store: Icynene – Spray Foam Insulation

Installing insulation in your home or office building is one of the best ways to save energy and money. Icynene, a spray foam insulation company established in 1986, offers a complete portfolio of high-performance spray foam insulation solutions. In the past 25 years, more than three billion board feet of Icynene spray foam insulation has been installed in more than 300,000 residential and commercial projects.

Spray foam insulation is unique in that it is a single product with two distinct purposes. The first is to provide insulation. However, unlike other insulation products, it provides the added advantage of  acting as an “Air Barrier” as it expands into gaps to block air that fiberglass insulation lets through. This reduces, and in some cases, eliminates heat/ac loss and gain, thereby maximizing the effect of heating and cooling a commercial or residential structure.

Some of Icynene’s most prominent homes include:

The American Lung Association Health House

Department of Energy Building America “Net Zero Energy Home”

Going Green at the Beach LEED Demonstration Home

Icynene’s spray foam insulation products can save up to 50% on energy bills.
