 The Icynene Insulation System

Here is a link to a construction website - The site is on ICF walls, which I just built my house out of, but they discuss the best way to insulate attics in these houses - These are long-time building guys who focus on energy efficiency and cost. Their recommendations are SIPS or spray in foam.

Dont get me wrong, not weary just want to make the right choice. BOTH I am considering all options.
HEY MURPHY acres, that is really a great idea with the computer editorial of the house project. I have a few ?'s
1. I did not know you were building anouther house! Where have I been?
2. Where did all you trees go? Laughing out loud How far is it to town and you just have hell for wind storms there eh? Where is it that your building and why? Is this in Ole Canada still?
PS Nice looking contruction love the heavy timbers for the walls! That is my plan also

I'm thinking of studding out the walls and putting, having the stuff sprayed between the studs, directly on the walls and then putting up OSB or Plywood to finish it off.

Will the foam adhere directly to the metal walls of my pole barn or ?

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.

 The Icynene Insulation System

I had the icynene insulation system installed in my home about one year ago. I installed a 1500 sq ft addition to my 1500 square foot home. I framed the new walls with 2" x 6" studs, Removed the plaster on existing exterior walls and had real 2' x 4" studs. The icynene was applied to 5 1/2" deep on new portion of the home and 4" on existing portion of the home. The 2 x 12 roof rafters cavities were sprayed to about 8 to 10 inches thick, my vented soffits were in effect sealed shut and it was applied direct to underside of roof sheathing. The basement and crawlspace was sprayed to about 6 to 8 inches.

Well as i said a full heating season has passed since the insulation was applied. My heating bill this season is $400 dollars less than last year but last year I was only heating 1500 sg ft this year I heated 3000 sq ft (same boiler).

The unfinished attic approx 1500 sq ft remains only about 4 degrees cooler than the rest of the home, that was a real valued Bonus.

I own a construction co. in New York City and my home is on Long Island NY. I really rec"d this product. As far as the shingle lifespan being shortened I am not really concerned, try walking on a roof on a 90 degree day, the roof will stick to your shoes I don't think a couple degrees warmer is going to change the lifespan, as far as warranty goes it is alot warmer in Las Vegas than where I
am so I'm sure something could be resolved. But I never had to replace any roof for warrenty and I don't think I'll have to now. I believe this product has been around for 20 years.
It is important to vent baths and cooking areas though.
I would rec'd this product.

I have a walk out celler that I am planning to redo as an apartment for my daughter, When I frame the walls can the spray on systems be installed against the concrete. Also will it help keepout moisture. I don't get a lot of leaks just a couple after bad rain storms. I do plan to frame this with 2x4s so I can at least insulate with fiberglass batts
