I am investigating insulation for our bus. It is perhaps THE most important thing we will install. I have been concerned greatly about pest infestation in our future home. This bus has a tremendously greater potential for pests than the average bus conversion because of the way it was constructed. Literally holes and cracks they can fit through everywhere. Obviously they did not care much about insulating this thing. So I need to take great care when insulating, not just from the elements but also from pests.

When looking at all the green insulation options, there is a clear advantage to using an expanding spray foam insulation called Icynene. It will seal everything. It will literally turn our bus into an air tight ice chest. This is good for filling in all the places where pests could squeeze through and it’s R value can be maintained because it will seal the bus from air flow through these spaces. It is supposedly a green product and turns up on websites claiming this due to the fact that it is water blown and has no chemical fumes that come off of it.

I have my doubts. Why? Well…. One question I could ask that will probably answer that question for you.

Could a product possibly be “green” that requires you to wear this when spraying on?

I mean come on now people, Really? Green?
