One of the pioneers of the Green Building Movement in North America and inventor of water blown soft foam insulation for residential and commercial construction, Icynene, is exhibiting at Ecobuild on stand 1465.
Founded in 1986, Icynene is now the largest supplier of soft foam insulation and air barrier material in North America and has participated in over 200,000 healthy, environmentally-friendly and energy efficient building projects across the world.
Soft foam is the fastest growing insulation material in the world today and Icynene's spray-in-place products contain no harmful emissions. 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 Jeff Hood said: "In a recent project to insulate a new wing at a nursing home in Lancashire, Icynene's insulation enabled a 40percent reduction in boiler size as well as reducing external traffic noise and providing better indoor air quality for the residents."
"Icynene is not only a proven pathway to energy efficiency and reducing CO2 emissions but also extremely popular with design professionals as it enables them to explore geometry and space without compromising building envelope performance. As an air barrier, it will meet or exceed the air tightness performance standards set out by the Code for Sustainable Homes," added Mr Hood.
