A Healthier Home
Icynene® insulation and air barrier system creates an airtight seal to reduce random air leakage through the walls and limit the penetration of outdoor allergens and pollutants. 100% water-blown, Icynene improves the quality of the indoor air you breathe. It also reduces the number of indoor pollutants to help you breathe easier and is an environmentally-friendly soft foam insulation. Icynene is a vital component in a moisture management program. By significantly reducing air leakage (which can account for 99% of moisture migration), Icynene averts airborne moisture from entering the home so that mold growth is less likely to occur. Combined with proper mechanical ventilation, Icynene helps you keep the indoor relative humidity between 35% and 55% - a level at which the growth of mildew, dust mites and other allergens can be minimized. Reducing excess moisture also helps to extend the life of your house and the systems within it.
