Spray Foam is an insulation and air barrier material that seals walls, floors and ceiling cavities against air movement, including spaces around electrical outlets and light fixtures and where walls meet windows and doors. Spray foam insulation can provide an effective air barrier insulation to minimize air infiltration through walls and ceilings, preventing drafts, cold spots and energy loss. The foam maintains its installed U-values throughout its service life, contrary to air permeable insulation types that lose their thermal performance over time due to the deterioration in the insulation quality (compromised &/or shrinking) and ongoing convective current loops within the insulation (up to 50% heat loss).

For builders, spray foam insulation can reduce construction time by simplifying the insulation process and minimising the number of callbacks due to building envelope failure. Using spray foam insulation, heating and cooling costs are typically reduced by up to 50% and smaller, less expensive heating and cooling equipment can be used because of the reduced heating and cooling loads. For homeowners, spray foam insulation offers the opportunity of lower heating and cooling costs from reduced air infiltration and a more comfortable home, draft free without cold spots. Furthermore, spray foam can significantly reduce unwanted airborne noise from the outside resulting in a quieter interior living space. Proper mechanical ventilation must be provided to Icynene insulated houses and when merged with a Mechanical Heat Recovery System, superior air quality can be achieved for a healthier indoor environment

Organic chemical compounds from petroleum extract are the main source of its ingredients. Open-cell spray foam products do not contain environmentally harmful blowing agents like HFCs, HCFCs or HFAs; in fact most open-cell spray foam insulation products are 100% water-blown making them better for the environment.
