Save on Energy Bills
How To Save On Your Energy Bills
Saving money where ever possible is a huge priority for most Sydney families. With the cost of living increasing and power bills going through the roof, the ability to take back some control is a comforting thought.
With up to 40% of your home's energy being lost through air leakage, minimising this will have a dramatic and immediate impact on your power bills. When your home isn't sealed appropriately, your air-conditioner and heater have to work harder to keep a comfortable temperature, costing you money. Just adding more traditional insulation to increase the r-value won't make any positive change to the amount of air lost.
This is where Easy Foam works. Icynene spray foam insulation plugs these gaps, it fills all the crevices and cracks that conventional insulation can't. Creating a continuous air barrier seal, it won't sag or settle limiting air leakage and leading to massive energy cost savings. Many households see up to 50% savings on their power bills.
Be Healthy
Benefits for People with Allergies, Asthma, and Respiratory Diseases
Creating a healthy home for your family is important. With concerns over allergies, toxic chemicals and air pollution, using healthy products in our homes is becoming a greater priority for many of us.
Easy Foam's spray insulation takes the worry out of this on three fronts:
- improved air quality
- minimising mould and mildew
- it is a low emission material
Creating an air barrier in your building envelope stops the airborne pollutants and allergens from entering your home. For families dealing with allergies, hay-fever and asthma, an insulating product which limits
- dust and dirt
- moisture and mould
- carbon monoxide
- pollen
has a significant impact of health and well-being.
Mould and mildew growth is also a very serious concern for many families. The release of dangerous spores and mycotoxins can lead to hypersensitivity showing up in symptoms such as aggravated asthma, increased allergic reactions, itchy and watery eyes, sneezing and coughing. Conventional insulation actually absorbs and holds onto moisture, becoming the perfect environment for mould to flourish.
Icynene's spray foam does the exact opposite. The open-cell products breathe, allow all moisture to evaporate and the closed-cell products resist water penetration.
Icynene is also categorised as a Low Emitting Material, meaning it has no long term VOC emissions. The insulation is 100% water blown so there are no HFCs or PBDEs released in the application process making it the healthy choice for your home.
Be Comfortable
Keeping Your Home Comfortable
Your home should be a haven, a place away from the stresses and noise of the outside world, and the inside noise of children. Using Easy Foam to insulate your home will significantly decrease the noise pollution you are subjected to.
Creating a good insulating seal in your external walls works like double glazing for your windows, reducing any outside noises coming into your home. In the same way, spray foam applied to your internal walls minimises any noise transfer within your home. Spray foam works to limit noise pollution from:
Internally
- rumpus room
- home theatre / media room
- garage
- hard flooring
- plumbing
Externally
- traffic
- airplanes
- lawnmowers
Protect Your Home
Protect Against Moisture
Mould in your home is caused by the moisture in the air condensing on the cooler walls in your house, leading to the growth of mould and mildew. When this occurs inside your wall cavities, it can be very hard to resolve. Icynene spray foam eliminates all the cracks and crevices which conventional insulation leaves. When the air can't flow through these spaces, the moisture can't condense on your walls.
The added advantage of Icynene is it's capacity to draw out the moisture from building materials such as timber and concrete which are known to hold water. This helps to keep your home dry and mould free.
Keep Pests Out
Avoid pests in your home by creating a solid barrier between you and them. Whereas traditional insulation can provide the perfect nesting environment for a range of nasty pests, an Easy Foam solution creates a physical barrier stopping pests from passing through or nesting in your walls.
Keep Your Home Strong
Mould and mildew don't just affect your family's health, they and the associated moisture can cause significant damage to your home. Spray foam insulation protects against timber rot, water damage to your particle board and gyprock as well as protecting your furniture and possessions from the effects of mould growth.
