Energy-efficient design and build solutions

Increased demand for energy-efficient homes and tighter legislation surrounding new residential and commercial building projects, has created a need for high performance, efficient, durable insulation solutions that perform consistently throughout the year, regardless of external weather conditions.

HBS Spray Foam Insulation solutions can provide your building and/or architecture business with a significant advantage, bringing design and sustainability together, differentiating you from the rest and making your budgets work harder, without compromising the design vision or building’s integrity.

HBS Spray Foam can help your company deliver above and beyond client expectations of energy efficiency; they can help improve indoor air quality, create quieter spaces to live, work and play and deliver lower heating/cooling bills monthly, saving significant money on your clients’ energy bills year on year.

The HBS Spray Foam system delivers solutions that are code-compliant, and have been tested, evaluated and certified by industry associations, including BBA, ETA and IAB, and are guaranteed to perform for the life of the building.

A Better Quality Home

Designing and building a client’s dream home goes beyond aesthetics – improved home comfort is what can make it stand out from the crowd and exceed expectations.

HBS spray foam insulation will help your business deliver higher performing, more energy-efficient, functional homes that deliver on comfort as well.

the benefits

Learn more about the wide range of benefits of our spray form insulation can have for your home or building efficiency, cost saving and improving your carbon footprint.

how it's done

HBS spray foam expands up to 100 times its original size after the initial spray, which then hardens to fill every corner.

our work

We have supplied spray form insulation to thousands of residential and commercial properties across the Northwest and beyond. We love showcasing our work and educating you on how we operate.

What are the key benefits of Spray Foam Insulation?

Cost saving

Due to the nature of Icynene products, the foam, once applied, creates an air seal within a property, helping to prevent heat loss. This will reduce the amount of heat needed to fill the building, in turn saving money year after year.

Reduced noise

Icynene products deliver high levels of sound insulation from inside and outside a property by virtually eliminating airborne sounds such as music, telephones, conversations and all mid to high range frequency noise. It is especially effective for those properties situated on a busy road to help eliminate traffic noise and can make huge positive differences to living spaces prone to external noise.

Lower carbon footprint

As Icynene helps to reduce heat loss from a property, much less energy is needed to help keep a comfortable temperature throughout, thereby reducing a property’s carbon footprint on the environment.

Protection from damp, mould and pests

Icynene open cell spray foam is engineered in such a way that it does not retain water; instead it allows water vapour to diffuse through the insulation and dissipate from the building’s envelope, keeping out moisture from the internal structure which is a big cause of damp and mould. It is also breathable, which helps to prevent condensation. It also helps to deter pests such as mice, rats, termites, mites from entering a property, as once the product solidifies, these pests will find it difficult to gain entry or make nests.

Speed and accuracy of insulation

Icynene Spray Foam Insulation offer a variety of products for different applications, depending on the project’s needs. Each has its own unique characteristics, but can all be installed quickly and effectively, more so than traditional insulation methods, meaning minimum downtime for any business.

Safe and certified

Icynene is non-toxic and is certified by the BBA, ETA and IAB.

Healthier environment

Airborne pollutants, including dirt and dust, are often the trigger of allergies and can contribute to lower air quality. Icynene will help to shield property from such aggravators, as the foam will expand to create an internal seal, improving the quality of the air in the property, helping to alleviate common causes of irritation.

25 year manufacturer's warranty

Green Horizon Energy Solutions is one of only a handful of fully accredited, official contractors of Icynene in the UK, meaning all of our technicians are fully licensed installers. As such, we are able to offer as standard a 25-year warranty on the product for all installs.

No draughts

Air leakage can be responsible for up to half of a property’s energy loss. The air-seal created by applying Icynene to the internal structure of a building means no gaps exist from which a draught can appear; this helps maintain a more consistent internal temperature, minimises heat loss and reduces waste, creating an efficient and comfortable living or working space.

The Building Science

Practising building science means accounting for the ways all building components interact, including the foundation, walls, roofs, doors, windows, insulation and mechanical systems. Doing so is critical to optimising building performance and prevent building failures. Architects and developers are competent in this principle, and can rest assured that HBS products have been developed with this in mind, and can help support the integrity of a building, through the below characteristics:

Spray Foam vs. Traditional Insulation

Traditional insulation has, in the past, limited the possibilities of commercial and residential design, due to the typically rigid insulation materials. Icynene spray foam insulation not only offers superior performance qualities but due to its composition and application method, it can also adhere to the most complex of structures with ease.

Whether it is external or internal applications, HBS products consistently outperform other insulation types.

Sustainability

In modern design and construction, an airtight seal is imperative for sustainable projects and is a prerequisite for total building performance. HBS spray foam products are unique in that they combine superior thermal insulation solutions with optimum protection against air leakage, significantly reducing carbon emissions and saving significant money on heating/cooling costs. Its duel functionality also means fewer building materials are needed in the design, and due to its quick and easy application, construction schedules can also be significantly reduced.

Upon application, HBS Spray Foam products expand to 100 times their original size, filling every inch of a surface, leaving no gaps in its solidified shell, creating an air seal. The spray method by which it is applied means it is incredibly versatile and can quickly and effectively cover the most complex of structures with ease, not compromising on design.

A huge advantage of Icynene is that it can be applied directly to a variety of materials. Different foam products have been developed for a variety of circumstances and conditions. All, however, are effective in any climate, aren’t affected by humidity and do not degrade over time.

Product types

HBS portfolio of spray foam insulation products have been engineered to be energy efficient, high performance and cost-effective. There are two types of solutions; open cell and closed cell, each with different properties to achieve different objectives.

They can be used separately or in tandem within one project, so as to maximise the effects of insulation and utilise the technical benefits of each solution. If you are unsure which solution is best for your project, contact us for more information.

What is Open-Cell?

Spongy inconsistency, open-cell foam offers high-performance thermal insulation and air sealing, and can also act as a sound barrier, significantly reducing travelling noise.

Due to its low water absorption, mould and damp will be a thing of the past, and as it is breathable, it will also help to prevent condensation.

  • Classic
  • Classic Ultra
  • Classic Ultra Select
  • Classic Plus

What is Closed-Cell?

Using different techniques to open cell formulations, closed-cell foam is rigid when it solidifies and is great in flood-prone areas as it rejects bulk water.

It can be used in both internal and external applications.

  • ProSeal
  • ProSeal Eco
  • ProSeal LE
  • MD-C-200
