 The Icynene Insulation System

We built a new house about 2 years ago and after lots of research, I went with Icynene. It was more expensive but will more than pay for itself in a few years. What is great about it is that it does not burn like other foams, it is sprayed to the desired thickness, seals out all drafts, and never breaks down. The only downside to the product is putting outlets and switches into a sprayed wall during additions or remodeling is pretty difficult. Besides this, it is a superior product to anything else that is out there. Good luck!

I probably would not recommend it if you are going to be crawling on it periodically. The foam works well because of all the air in it...by smashing it, it will loose its effectiveness. It is not nearly as rigid as a sheet of isulation board.

My installer sprayed the roofline as well. When I questioned him about it for condensation, he explained it like a styrofoam cup...they don't sweat like glass or plastic due to the thermal barrier. I have had no problems with condensation at all. Just a great efficient system all around.

Yes it will, but you may want to cover the studs on the back side with house wrap in case you ever have to replace a piece of tin...that way, the expensive insulation will remain intact while fixing the damaged piece.
