Green is the Color in Remodeling

The rise in sustainability and active restoration of existing structures to increase energy efficiency and reduce environmental impact is resulting in increased demand for sustainable building products.

Icynene^® delivers ideal R-value and air-sealing in one step to upgrade the performance of an existing structure and provide long-term benefits such as reduced energy costs, lower maintenance costs and higher home re-sale value.

Green Remodeling Starts with Tighter Thinking

Icynene^® is an insulation and air barrier that injects the latest building technology into an older home to maximize energy efficiency while still preserving its original architectural details. Icynene offers various products for special project needs.

Available Formulations

Icynene^® Pour-fill formulation is specially designed for retrofit projects or for closed-wall applications where there is no insulation in the wall. Icynene^® Pour-fill formula is applied inside the old wall cavities by drilling one-inch holes in the wall. This formula fills the wall cavity, starting at the bottom and slowly expanding upwards to 60 times its initial volume. Since Icynene^® pour-fill formula expands in the direction of least resistance; it will not expand outward and damage the walls. Click here to view pour-fill foam illustration.

For open wall cavities without existing insulation, Icynene^® spray formula can be directly installed to fill all voids and gaps and create a seamless barrier against air leakage. Click here to view spray foam illustration.

Proof is in the Performance

Icynene^® helped the office building (100+ year-old historic home converted into an office) of the Home Builders Association of South Carolina achieve comfortable indoor temperatures, healthier and quieter work spaces, and superior energy efficiency. This renovation project offers a total reduction of heating costs by 92% and cooling costs by 49%. (Click on thumbnail to view full-sized image of the historic structure).

The Energy Bills were tracked for the same period in 2006 and 2008. The building was under renovation in the year 2007. The utility data for the cooling months represents the total electricity cost. Air Conditioning costs are inclusive.
