Icynene Insulation – Bonus Rooms / Cantilevered Floors

Problem: The bonus room over the garage or a porch is often uncomfortable. In cold climates, for example, floors can be 10°F cooler than the room. Difficult to keep conventional fibrous insulation in contact with the floor above due to voids/air spaces in fibrous insulation, the floor in the bonus room is colder than the rest of the home. Without extra sealing material, conventional insulation can allow exterior air, exhaust fumes and also odors to penetrate from the garage or exterior into the living space above. Solution: Icynene® spray formula has tenacious adhesive characteristics, making it easier to insulate overhead ceilings. It creates a seamless bond with the substrate providing a consistent U-value without sagging. Benefits: Creates healthier indoor air by protecting the adjoining living space against fumes originating from the garage below, also creates an evenly heated/cooled interior space for optimal comfort.
