One of the best times to insulate is during a renovation. When remodelling or changing any interior wall that shares an exterior wall, this would be a great time to upgrade your insulation.
If you have existing fiberglass or batten insulation you might be surprised to know that almost 30% of air escapes from it and that percentage increases if it is improperly installed. Spray foam conforms to the space it’s sprayed into and can decrease heating/cooling costs up to 60%.
Other spray foam features and benefits:
- Improves air quality and helps to reduce allergic reactions to pollen and dust
- Helps to reduce mold and mold growth
- Water & flood resistant
- Provides a greater sound barrier making homes and living spaces quieter
- Does not support or spread flame
- Not a food source for insects and vermin
The images below are from a previous garage renovation in Banff. It was the perfect opportunity to replace old fiberglass insulation with spray foam creating a warm mountain morning or winter environment.
