  • Highest R-value per inch of any insulation type
  • Creates a complete air and vapour barrier
  • Reduces drafts, cold spots, and moisture issues
  • Ideal for attics, crawl spaces, rim joists, and new construction
  • Long lifespan — won't sag, settle, or degrade

Ideal for: New construction, major renovations, and homes with significant air leakage or high energy bills.

Attic Insulation
Stop heat loss where it matters most

Up to 25% of a home's heat escapes through an under-insulated attic. Upgrading your attic insulation is one of the highest-return investments you can make — reducing energy bills and improving comfort throughout the entire home.

  • Reduces heating and cooling costs by up to 20%
  • Eliminates ice dams and roof damage in winter
  • Improves comfort on every floor of your home
  • Qualifies for energy efficiency rebates
  • Quick installation — often completed in a single day

Basement & Foundation Insulation
Eliminate cold floors and moisture problems

Basement & Foundation Insulation

Basements and crawl spaces are a major source of heat loss, cold floors, and moisture infiltration. Proper insulation on foundation walls and rim joists keeps your lower level comfortable and protects your home's structure.

  • Eliminates cold floors on the level above
  • Reduces moisture, condensation, and mould risk
  • Spray foam on rim joists seals the biggest air leaks
  • Makes basement finishing projects more comfortable
  • Protects pipes from freezing in extreme cold

Ideal for: Homes with cold floors, high humidity in the basement, or uninsulated foundation walls and rim joists.
