DIY Renovation Insulation Concerns

If you are living in an older home chances are you have insulation that is not so eco or health-friendly. Materials like asbestos, vermiculite and fiberglass are still found in older homes when renovations are done today.

DIY renos like drilling into drywall & popcorn ceiling removal can cause asbestos fibers to be released into the air. This is a health hazard.

An older home from the 70s may contain any of these insulation materials and have to be professionally removed before you can continue a renovation safely.
 
Once the offending materials have been removed a closed cell spray foam is a safe and effective insulation material to keep your family safe and your home warmer in the winter and cooler in the summer.

Insul-Foam Services specializes in interior home insulation. Give us a call for more information on closed cell spray foam before you start your next DIY reno.

The only thing that could make it better is if you were spending a few nights in a mountain hotel and they had a roof top hot tub to star watch from.

This hotel in Canmore, right in the hear of the rocky mountains, has just that but before this tub was ready for the extremes of mountain weather it needed some great insulation to keep it from cracking in the temperature changes that are normal for this part of the world.
