The high-performance properties of Icynene® help you address some of the principles of good wall design, like drainage, drying and durability. Browse this section to learn how.
Design Without Compromise
With Icynene®, 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. Icynene® air-seals all wood- and steel- framed cavities, crevices and voids to deliver a perfect fit for walls, crawl spaces, attics, ceilings and floors.
Sustainable Design
Your clients are becoming more aware of the benefits of sustainable design. Unlike conventional insulation, Icynene® delivers the environmental, economic and aesthetic solutions that let you design sustainable structures without compromise. Icynene® offers flexibility and adaptability that allows you to satisfy the competing demands of both form and function.
But, the benefits don't stop here. Icynene® also addresses today's most critical issues, such as environment, indoor air quality, moisture management, energy consumption and noise pollution.
Icynene® is the Healthier, Quieter, More Energy Efficient® insulation that helps design professionals achieve additional credits/ points towards LEED and NGBS certifications:

Selling Green Gets Easier
R-value measures energy moving in and out of a home through the insulation material (conduction). But the real energy-waster is air leakage (convection) - the cause of up to 40% of a home's energy loss (Source: U.S. Department of Energy).
Icynene® delivers ideal R-value and air-sealing in one step, helping you address the most significant source of energy loss so you can take energy performance beyond R-value.
Building Science
The science of how all components of a building work together has become known as Building Science or a Systems Approach. The Systems Approach is a method of design, construction, inspection and testing that considers how all building components interact, including the foundation, walls, roofs, doors, windows, insulation and mechanical systems.
Building Science consists of the following principles:
(1) creating a continuous air barrier in conjunction with proper mechanical ventilation;
(2) thermal resistance
(3) moisture management;
(4) improving indoor air quality;
(5) appropriate heating and air conditioning system.
Icynene® helps building and design professionals practice Building Science techniques with ease. For instance, as both an insulation and air barrier, Icynene® minimizes air leakage and creates tighter buildings. Tighter buildings and controlled ventilation can save up to 50% in energy costs. A tighter building often results in the downsizing of heating/cooling equipment for even greater savings. Using less energy to heat and cool a building also means that Icynene® helps reduce greenhouse gas emissions for a healthier planet.
Icynene® is a high-performance material that addresses your concerns about preserving the life of a building and the systems within it. Icynene® fully integrates with other building components to deliver superior indoor air quality, increased energy efficiency, durability and comfort.Icynene
