Floor over Unconditioned Space such as Crawl Space, Basement, or Cantilevered Floor

When the space below is unconditioned and there isn't sufficient insulation, a floor can become uncomfortable because of the temperature difference. The floor finish may also be damaged in a humid climate. Using Icynene spray foam insulation on the ceiling of the space under the floor can help solve these problems.

Common Problems

Cold and uncomfortable floors
Unwanted noises on the main floor originating from the basement
Buckling hardwood floors due to moisture build-up in the floor system
Existing insulation falling out due to gravity
Conditioned air moving through un-insulated ductwork in the garage ceiling assembly or other unconditioned space cannot retain the conditioned temperature (heated air or cooled air). This causes additional discomfort for the occupants
Where pipework enclosed within the ceiling/floor assembly is only protected by traditional insulation from the cold of the garage, frozen pipes may burst

Results of Using Icynene Spray Foam Insulation

Even floor temperatures for added comfort
Quieter spaces on main floor
Minimized potential for buckling of hardwood floors

Basement or Crawl Space

In the basement or crawl space under a building, different conditions from the house above may lead to energy loss and moisture build-up if the right insulation isn't used. The efficiency of heating and air conditioning equipment may be affected.

It's also possible to insulate basements or half basements so they can become living spaces.

ICYNENE INSULATION FOR LOFTS & ATTICS

Your home doesn't end at your ceiling. Energy efficient insulation can play an important role in turning your home's attic/roof into an unconditioned or conditioned space, depending on where you live.

Whether you live in warmer climates or in colder ones, Icynene insulation has multiple benefits for both conditions.

Icynene insulation is fantastic at retaining heat but it also reduces the amount of outside heat that enters your property.
