OPEN CELL / ICYNENE®
Our open cell foam is known as, “The Icynene Insulation System”. Our
number one reason for using Icynene is Product Testing. It
has acquired ICC compliance with the NER 420 report. It has been
tested by numerous Third Parties. It meets or exceeds almost
all codes for residential and commercial construction in the US.
The same goes for all Minnesota local codes.
We as Licensed Icynene Dealers are part a larger network of nearly
400 dealers in the US. It is a Toronto based company that wanted
a healthier alternative in the industry. Many spray foams can be
very volatile. Icynene is completely inert and 100% water blown.
The lack of a blowing agent is the reason it will not change or
lose R-value over time. Icynene was developed more than thirty
years ago to combat some of the problems in the industry. Cracking,
sagging, settling, peeling and off-gassing are problems that other
foams will have, not Icynene. It has been on the market for more
than two decades. It boasts an incredible track record for
performance and durability. It has a warrantee that is valid
for the life of the building. Our sales reps (our bosses) are Richard
Quant, and Peter Burns.
The
Icynene® Insulation System®
With
energy costs taking such a huge bite out of the monthly budget,
it's little surprise that energy efficiency is the top consideration
among those who are considering insulation options.
Using
Icynene® soft foam insulation and air barrier system is one
of the best ways to improve energy efficiency and thermal comfort. As
a complete insulation and air barrier, Icynene® minimizes air
leakage in the building structure, which allows for HVAC equipment
rightsizing. This saves dramatically on initial equipment
costs and ongoing utility costs - Icynene® can
save up to 50% every month in energy costs versus traditional
energy options.
When
taking into consideration all other costs associated with creating
an airtight thermal envelope, it becomes obvious why Icynene® is
the preferred insulation that guarantees increased energy efficiency.
The
Icynene® Insulation System®
Icynene®,
the leading soft foam insulation and air barrier system, is becoming
the industry standard for providing maximum building envelope performance.
Icynene®'s pour and spray formulations represent a breakthrough
in the science of moisture and thermal management.
Icynene® is the leading 100% water-blown foam insulation that
minimizes air leakage for increased energy efficiency, creates
a healthier indoor environment, reduces airborne sounds and offers
greater design freedom. Icynene® maintains its performance
with no loss of R-value over
time. It does not shrink, sag or settle. Icynene® adheres to
most construction materials and is the perfect insulation for walls,
attics, ceilings and floors.
Spray
Formula
Applied as a liquid, Icynene® expands to 100 times
its volume in seconds to fill every crack and crevice while remaining
flexible so that the integrity of the building envelope seal remains
intact over time. Icynene®'s spray formula has an R-value of
3.6 per inch. It acts as a complete insulation and air barrier
to minimize air leakage and seal the building envelope for optimal
airtightness. Click here to

Pour Fill Formula
Icynene®'s pour fill variation
is an insulation and air barrier that injects the latest building
technology into an older building to maximize energy efficiency
while still preserving its original architectural details. Icynene® fills
the wall cavity completely, starting at the bottom and slowly expanding
upwards to 60 times its initial volume. Since Icynene® expands
in the direction of least resistance, it will not expand outward
and damage the wall. The pour fill formula has an R-value of
4 per inch. Click here to
