ICYNENE insulating foam: the perfect airtightness for your home!
Insulation has become unavoidable in a building. The interest of making a building airtight, ie to eliminate "leaks" of air that are in the building, has a dual role: increase thermal performance (acoustics) and comfort of life.
Projected insulation, an innovative, healthy and sustainable process
The lambda thermal performance calculations are studied in the laboratory without any difference in pressure on either side of the insulation, which implies a perfect airtightness. It is impossible, even with the best will in the world, to apply a vapor barrier perfectly. The loss of efficiency with a poorly placed vapor barrier is estimated at between 15 and 20%.
ICYNENE insulation, eco-responsible and sustainable insulation technology from Canada, is certified airtight. In other words, it would be necessary to increase the thickness of a traditional insulation of 15% to have a thermal resistance efficiency similar to the ICYNENE solution.
As for acoustics, it is illusory to seek to increase the thickness of insulators while even small leaks, resulting in consequent losses of heat and feelings of discomfort.
Avoid thermal bridges
With traditional insulators, it is very difficult, if not almost impossible, to obtain perfect joints. However, "if we consider 1 m² of insulated wall with 14 cm of rockwool, a slot of 1mm wide by 1 m long will cause as much loss as if the thickness of the insulation was only 3 cm ".
ICYNENE foam insulation has a unique airtightness ability. In new construction or renovation, the system adapts to all situations. Flexible, the foam will perfectly match the movements of the building and the frame without breaking.
This is why the use of this technology tends to increase more and more, both in residential housing and in public or industrial buildings.
