Healthy Insulation from Icynene
Indoor air can be hazardous to your health
“The quality of the air we breathe in our homes is important to our health. By controlling the air entering and leaving our homes, we can minimize or eliminate the airborne pollutants that can become threats to our respiratory health.”*
The Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) recently rated indoor air pollution as one of the five most urgent environmental issues accounting for over $1 billion in direct healthcare costs each year.
In fact, the EPA, the American Lung Association (ALA) and the Envirodesic Certification Program, all believe that the air in most homes is likely to be ten times more polluted than the air outside!
Of all the building materials used in a home, the choice of insulation can have a major impact on the long-term quality of the air you breathe and your health.
Fortunately, there’s Icynene®, a unique soft foam insulation that limits the amount of pollutants in buildings, controls moisture problems and emits no harmful fumes. It’s the healthier, quieter, more energy efficient solution you need for maximum indoor air quality.
