Icynene is a popular spray foam insulation used in residential and commercial properties to improve energy efficiency. Applied as a liquid that expands into a foam, it’s often marketed as a cost-effective solution for reducing energy bills and enhancing property value. However, while it has its benefits, it’s not without its downsides—especially when it’s mis-sold or improperly installed.

What is Icynene Spray Foam Insulation?
Why is Icynene Spray Foam a Concern?
Although Icynene spray foam can work well when correctly installed, it’s often associated with issues that can lead to costly repairs, reduced property value, and even safety concerns. Some of the most common problems include:
- Structural Damage: Improper installation can cause timber frames to rot or warp.
- Ventilation Issues: Spray foam can block airflow, leading to moisture build-up and mould.
- Property Devaluation: Many mortgage providers and surveyors view properties with spray foam insulation as high risk, making it harder to sell or remortgage.
- Fire Safety Risks: Certain types of spray foam may not meet fire safety regulations.
- Energy Savings Misrepresentation: Many customers were led to believe their energy bills would be significantly reduced, only to experience minimal or no difference.
Was Icynene Spray Foam Mis-Sold to You?
- You were not informed about potential risks, such as difficulty selling or remortgaging your home.
- The insulation was applied without a thorough property assessment.
- The product did not deliver the promised energy savings or benefits.
- The installation caused structural or ventilation problems in your home.
- You were pressured into signing a contract without sufficient time to consider your options.
