Q: Why is Icynene better than
traditional fiberglass
insulation?
A:
Icynene insulation is 37 times less air permeable than
fiberglass. It seals all the nooks and crannies of your
walls and ceilings and stops air leakage. You save 30 to
50 percent on energy cost. Mold and mildew are not an
issue with Icynene. It is healthier, quieter, and more
energy efficient by far than
fiberglass.

Q: Why does Icynene outperform
fiberglass even though the R-Value is about the
same?
A:
R-Value is tested in laboratory conditions.
Situations such as humidity, temperature range,
and air movement can greatly reduce the effectiveness of
fiberglass insulation. Icynene on the other hand
maintains its R-Value in all
conditions.

Q:How much does Icynene cost
compared to fiberglass?
A: While Icynene costs more than
fiberglass, if you take into consideration the fact that
you can downsize your heating and air conditioning
units, eliminate costly air sealing techniques and
expensive house wraps, Icynene is quite comparable. Plus
you have the added comfort and energy savings for the
life of your home. With the energy savings alone,
Icynene pays for itself very
quickly.
