new homes for sale in the Mcallen TX and Mission TX area, there’s a good chance you thinking about maximizing its energy efficiency.
Energy efficient homesare not only a great choice to make for the sake of the environment, but for your bank account, too. Many of the investments in “greener” home building materials can deliver a great ROI, including spray foam insulation.
How does spray foam insulation like Icynene help to create more efficient homes, you ask?
The key is Icynene’s ability to expand into every crack and crevice wherever it is applied in the building envelope of a house, which creates an effective air seal. This air seal can help to reduce the possibility of conditioned air loss out of the home and drafts of outside air coming into the home. In addition, sprayed foam insulation from Icynene also contributes to its superior ability to air seal a home.
Think of it like this: traditional materials used for insulation, like fiberglass and cellulose, are like a wool sweater you might wear on a fall day. The material contributes to thermal warmth, but if the wind blows or it rains, you’ll still be feeling that wind or rain through that material. Now, imagine that material being used in your home, during a particularly wet and windy fall season.

Icynene spray foam insulation, however, is more aptly compared to a lined windbreaker. Wearing that material on a windy day will keep you cozy and keep the wind out while wearing it on a rainy day will keep you cozy and dry. Which material would you rather be using?
