THE MAGIC BEHIND SPRAY FOAM INSULATION

Spray foam insulation is made of two composite materials that, when combined, undergo a chemical reaction, causing them to expand to several times their original volume. Once the reaction is complete, the spray foam will maintain its final form (and insulating properties) for many years to come.

We use heat-activated polymer foam (in liquid form) that is sprayed into framing cavities and other susceptible areas in your home, such as basement walls, exterior walls and attic spaces. Because of its ability to expand and make all the nooks and crannies air-tight, spray foam is essentially perfect as an insulating material. Unlike traditional batting and blown-in insulating materials, spray foam will not settle or sag over time. And, since it creates an air-tight seal, spray foam insulation easily meets all building codes with regards to vapour barrier systems.

To sum up: spray foam also has the highest R-Value per inch, i.e. the thermal resistance value of insulation. This means that spray foam has the highest insulating capacity, making it one of the best protection options against heat and cold.

WHICH TYPE OF SPRAY FOAM IS RIGHT FOR YOU?

There are two main types of spray foams. The decision of which of these two types to use is based on factors such as the material, the installation area, the intensity of usage etc. The two types of spray foam are:

Open-Cell Spray Foam

This type of spray foam is used because it allows bi-directional drying which is required for brick wall systems. It’s usually more economical and has sound dampening qualities.
Closed-Cell Spray Foam

Closed-cell spray foam can be used for building interiors or exterior applications because it’s a vapour barrier after 2 inches, can be applied in difficult areas to be insulated, adds some structural integrity and has a higher R-value per inch.

WHY CHOOSE SPRAY FOAM INSULATION FOR YOUR WINNIPEG HOME?

WHERE CAN YOU USE SPRAY FOAM INSULATION?

There are various spray foam applications for different areas of your home, including:

Attic
Traditionally, houses have had vented attics, which enable air to circulate and keep moisture at a reasonable level. The attic must be properly air-sealed to prevent conditioned air from flowing outside the home. As an air-impermeable and highly effective insulator, spray foam is an excellent option for insulating an attic.

Walls
Spray foam insulation can be used for foundation and interior frame walls to provide an effective vapour and moisture barrier while strengthening your walls.
Basement
From floor to header, spray foam will create a seamless air and vapour deterrent for your basement to prevent air and moisture from entering your home.

We recommend spray foam insulation for its energy efficiency, durability, and ability to create a comfortable indoor environment year-round. Spray foam insulation has many benefits to offer, including:

Powerful insulation – because it expands, it can tightly seal all nooks and crannies
High R-value – provides excellent thermal resistance, reducing heat loss in winter and heat gain in summer.
Energy efficiency - helps lower heating and cooling costs by creating a tight building envelope.
Airtight – it thoroughly seals cracks and holes in attics and crawl spaces
Moisture barrier – moisture can gain access into your home through cracks, but spray foam insulation is impervious to water, so it will seal your home
Vapour barrier – 2 inches of spray foam is a vapour barrier; do away with 6 mill poly and acoustic sealant!
Mould deterrent – composed of an inert polymer, this spray foam insulation will not allow mould to grow
Durability – long-lasting insulation performance without the risk of settling or sagging, due to its inert polymer composition.
Better comfort – Spray foam insulation prevents temperature fluctuations wherever installed because of its airtight seal.
Better indoor air quality – Spray foam insulation reduces the spread of pollutants such as indoor allergens, pollen, mould, dust, and more. Believe it or not, these pollutants enter your property through walls and affect the air quality. Spray foam insulation provides an effective seal to prevent air infiltration.
Easy installation – Spray foam's popularity can be attributed to its simplicity in application especially for difficult-to-reach area such as a crawl space or basement. Our team of specialists can easily spray and install the insulation in a non-intrusive manner.
Adds value to your home – enhances energy efficiency, comfort, and overall property appeal.

Because of its long-lasting effectiveness in insulating every nook and cranny, more people are choosing closed-cell spray foam insulation for their Winnipeg homes.
