Your questions, answered
Why is air sealing important?
Air leaks allow your conditioned air to seep outside through often unseen gaps and holes. Losing conditioned air makes your HVAC work harder to keep the temperature in your home consistent. Air sealing prevents conditioned air from leaking out, causing less stress on your HVAC, lowering energy bills, and keeping you more comfortable. Air sealing can also help you get insulation rebates when you have your insulation professionally installed.
Does my home need to breathe?
Your insulation and ventilation should work together to control the airflow in your home. Too much air leakage and your HVAC will constantly need to replace conditioned air. Too little airflow and your home may become prone to mould and bacterial issues. Both can affect your health and indoor air quality. We consider your home’s insulation and ventilation when providing your free estimate. If you have more questions about insulation and your home’s air quality, we are here to help.
Do I need an air and vapour barrier with spray foam insulation?
Closed-cell spray foam insulation can act as both an air and vapour barrier. Combined with air sealing qualities, this can vastly reduce the complexity of your project. In fact, spray foam can help reduce dampness in your basement or attic if pre-existing issues, such as a leaky roof or window, are fixed before installation. Every home is unique, so understanding your situation first will help us provide you with the most accurate information.
Should I use open or closed cell spray foam?
Open-cell spray foam, also known as ½ lb. spray foam, is soft and flexible compared to its counterpart. The R-value is not as high, and it will require an air barrier. Closed-cell spray foam, also known as 2 lb. spray foam, is dense and rigid. It has a higher R-value and should not require an air barrier. Both will need fireproofing. We can help you decide which is more suitable for your project during your free estimate.
Can I install spray foam insulation myself?
Our spray foam installers make the job look easy, but there are a lot of variables to consider when installing it. Spray foam insulation is created on-site by combining isocyanate and resin under the right temperature and pressure. The perfect amount must be applied and given time to expand and set before applying the next layer. We can provide you with a free estimate to include in your pros of a professional approach.

Do more for your home with spray foam insulation
Spray polyurethane foam insulation is unique from other types of insulation. It is a liquid that is produced on site by combining isocyanate and resin, and is sprayed directly onto the surface you are insulating. When using 2lb spray foam, the result is a seamless insulation and air sealing solution that also provides an air and vapour barrier. When using 1/2lb spray foam, your home still benefits from a seamless coat of insulation.
Insulate hard to reach areas such as headers and crawlspaces
The blowing agent in spray foam makes it expand up to 30 times its original volume. This allows it to fill and expand in any gaps and crevices it enters. This duality means you can easily insulate and air seal your basement or crawlspace walls and headers in a single project. We can also install spray foam to crawlspaces beneath stationary mobile homes.
Perfect for new construction and retrofit projects
In most cases, open wall cavities are needed to install spray foam insulation into the walls of your home. This makes new construction and major renovation projects ideal opportunities to install spray foam for its air sealing benefit. In areas that are traditionally left open or have no cavities, such as a basement, crawlspace or attic, spray foam is always an option worth considering.
Energy efficient and zero ozone depletion potential
We use the newest HFO blowing agent (the component that makes spray foam expand). It has a zero ozone depletion potential and a low global warming potential. Choosing spray foam ensures you meet or exceed the newest Ontario Building Codes and increases the energy efficiency of your home.
