Icynene is especially designed for this type of "conditioned attic" or "cathedralized" construction due to its air-sealing capabilities, and the fact that water can move through the foam if it is under pressure. In the event of a roof leak, water can drain straight through the insulation by gravity rather than being trapped against the roof sheathing where it could contribute to roof rot. Upon drying, Icynene returns to its original state without warping or distortion, and effectiveness of the insulation is fully restored. The Benefits of conditioned (unvented) attics energy efficiency. HVAC equipment located in the attic has shown to generate significant reductions in energy consumption. view pdf UnVented Attic System07/17/2009Ninety-nine percent of moisture travels through the air.
