The Icynene Insulation SystemŽ
Denwood, It's not cheap!!! But the workmanship and end result are of very high quality. My wife is looking for the bills now. When she finds them I will let you know. The job they did for me was at my house on the Outer Banks of NC. It was the first beach house that they did. It has held up very well. The product is pumped in and applied up the sidewalls and posts about 6 inches. It has just about eliminated the musty damp smells coming up from the crawlspace. Will get back to you with the cost as soon as posssible. Mike.

Has anybody used the biobased foam? I am going to hopefully have my attic insulated (walls are ICF concrete) and am waiting for the Icynene guy to get back to me with a price, but the biobased (Soybean based spray solvent or something) just gave me a bid (~2.25 / sf). Very similar properties to icynene.

It was more expensive but will more than pay for itself in a few years.

================
Icynene informed me that with their system you can scale down the size of the heating and air conditioning units to less expensive models that will maintain the same comfort level as the larger more expensive higher fuel consuming models required for Fiberglass cellos and other type insulations.
This factor alone could more than off set the price difference between Icynene and other insulations.

To insulate a 2600 sf attic
I can do R42 in celluose for $1850
Biobased costs $5900
Waiting on Icynene... And crossing my fingers.
I have ICF walls, so I've already undersized my HVAC equipment. Hoping Icynene will come in a bit under, then I could spring for it.

Denwood--- My apologies for not getting back to you sooner, but with the holiday and and trying locate the Neutocrete file I just got around to replying. Sorry to say I do not have a per foot price for the Neutocrete. All I have is a price for the whole job that they did, which included much extra work. I can vouch for the workmanship and quality, it is excellent. If I ever had to do anything like this again I would not hesitate.
Mike.

Has anyone used a similar product made with soybean oil? It was featured on Michael Holigan's TV show called Your New House. They say it is popular in Texas.

ICF walls are Insulated Concrete Forms - They are a concrete wall form system that you stack like legos and fill with steel and concrete. Makes for an air tight wall with insulation on the exterior and interior. Firring strips are usually tied to the concrete beneath the foam that you can attach sheetrock and siding to. I used the forms from www.nudura.com, but they are sold by 20-30 companies each with a slight change or difference.
We had 100 mile an hour winds a few days ago, and you could hardly tell.
