Insulation by Home Area
Targeted solutions for attics, walls, basements, and crawlspaces address unique thermal and moisture challenges, pairing air sealing with appropriate materials and R-values that match Canadian climate zones, building codes, and rebate criteria for reliable, long-lasting performance.
Attic and Roof Assemblies
We assess ventilation, baffles, soffits, and existing R-values, then recommend a safe top-up to R-50–R-60 with proper air sealing around penetrations and hatches. Our approach reduces ice dams, drafts, and summer overheating while maintaining airflow and preventing condensation or premature roof component deterioration.
Basements, Rim Joists, and Crawlspaces
Cold rim joists and damp crawlspaces are major heat loss and comfort issues. We apply closed-cell spray foam or foam board with sealed seams to control air movement, condensation, and pests, improving durability, comfort, and indoor air quality while meeting fire protection and vapour control requirements.
Exterior and Interior Walls
For accessible walls, we install dense-pack cellulose or fiberglass, carefully locating utilities and avoiding over-pressurization. Where cavities are inaccessible, we propose strategic alternatives, such as exterior insulation during siding replacement, to reduce thermal bridging and meet rebate thresholds with minimal disruption and verified performance benefits.
Air Sealing and Ventilation
Tight homes save energy, but they must breathe right; we pair targeted air sealing with ventilation checks so you reduce heat loss without trapping moisture, maintaining healthy indoor air quality and meeting EnerGuide and code expectations after retrofit.
