The Best Time to Insulate

One of the best times to insulate is during a renovation. If you are remodelling or changing any interior wall that is 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 number increases if it is improperly installed.

Spray foam does conform to the space in which it is in and can decrease  heating/cooling costs up to 60%.

Other benefits:

  • Can improve air quality and help to reduce allergic reactions to pollen and dust
  • Helps to reduce mold and mold growth
  • Water & flood resistant
  • Does not support or spread flame
  • Provides a greater sound barrier making homes and living spaces quieter
  • Spray foam is not a food source for insects and vermin.

This garage renovation in Banff was the perfect opportunity to replace old fiberglass insulation with spray foam creating a warm mountain morning or winter environment.
