Floor Insulation with Icynene from Enviro-health

Excellent Floor Insulation

The Icynene Insulation System® is a superior method of insulating all types of buildings to the highest level against heat transfer and noise intrusion.

It outperforms other insulation materials by providing R-value and air-sealing in one step, without the need for labor-intensive sealing materials.

Icynene® creates a superior air-seal, effectively minimizing air leakage to deliver advanced moisture control, improved air quality, and energy savings of up to 50%.

Icynene® is sprayed into walls, ceilings, attics, and floors where it expands in seconds to create a soft foam insulation and air barrier system.

As much as 20% of heat transfer in most buildings occurs through the floors, the higher the effectiveness the insulation is in this area, the more effective the total energy savings will be and the more comfortable the house will be.

Because Icynene® is sprayed onto building materials like a paint, and adheres to that surface without an air gap, it eliminates condensation and the opportunities for moulds to grow. This provides a healthier environment for sensitive people like children, the elderly, and people with allergies.

Icynene® can be applied to the suspended floors of new buildings unlike any standard insulation, and because it expands to fill the entire cavity, there are no spaces left to harbour vermin such as spiders, cockroaches and mice. As Icynene does not sag or collapse, it remains effective for the life of your building.

Icynene® is brilliant for floors which are suspended over open spaces such as found in tropical climates in "Queenslanders" style houses, and pole houses built on sloping land. Winds blowing through the floorboards and accelerating heat transfer, can be sealed out with a coating of self-adhering Icynene®. Ground humidity is also blocked from entering the building.

As a sound insulation, Icynene® additionally provides a great barrier against noise from outside traffic. Icynene® is applied by registered and trained installers, and is certified by the Australian Building Code Board (ABCB) through the National CodeMark system.
