CloseIcynene is more than just insulation. Sprayed into walls, it expands to form a flexible foam blanket, made up of millions of tiny air cells. It acts like outdoor sportswear, shielding the home from outside temperatures and reducing drafts and energy costs by up to 50%. Plus, it keeps irritants like allergens outside and minimizes airborne moisture intrusion for improved air quality inside.
