Insulating and air-sealing wood and steel with Insulation Express Icynene® is ideal for insulating and air-sealing both wood and steel framing. Problem; - Up to 40% of energy loss is due to uncontrolled air leakage.
- Up to 99% of moisture travels in the air and can build up inside a home through daily activities like cooking and showering. If moisture carried by air is allowed to move through the walls it can condense within the walls leading to related problems such as mold.
- Unwanted noises originating from plumbing runs or from the adjoining media room.
- Drafts causing hot/cold spots.
Solution;
Icynene® is classified as an air barrier material. Sprayed in the walls, Icynene® creates a blanket of soft foam for superior air tightness. Icynene®'s open-celled structure remains flexible to expand/contract with the walls for consistent air-sealing over the life of the building. Benefits; - Increased energy efficiency.
- Improved Indoor Air Quality (IAQ).
- Peace and quiet.
