Icynene® - Hard to Insulate Areas

Problem: Designs or architectural features can pose insulation challenges, because conventional insulation does not fit unusual cavities. Batts are standard size and must be cut or manipulated or compressed to fill unusual spaces, reducing its rated U-value and may require extra finishing materials. Steel framing consists of ”U” and ”C” sections also double studs and non-standard stud locations that make insulating a challenge. Solution: Icynene® spray foam expands and fills all gaps, allowing you to explore the geometry of design without sacrificing function. It adheres to surrounding materials, creating an air-seal and delivering the rated U-value in one go. Benefits: It conforms to unusual geometry to provide a seamless air barrier and increases the durability of the structure by providing consistent U-value for the life of the building also minimizes the flow of airborne moisture and the threat of condensation particularly in metal buildings. It is flexible allowing it to expand and contract along with the building structure preventing delaminating and cracking
