Cottage insulation has a big impact on comfort throughout your entire getaway.

Reduces energy use and lowers utility bills.
Helps prevent moisture buildup and mold.
Makes your cottage usable and comfy year-round.
Most summer cottages have little to no insulation, but for year-round comfort, proper insulation is essential to control air leaks, moisture, and temperature—just like in a regular home.
However, for cottagers who want to enjoy a year round getaway, insulating the cottage is going to be a necessity.
Proper cottage weatherization means sealing and insulating for maximum efficiency. It protects pipes, eliminates the need for winterizing windows and doors, keeps appliances running, and makes the cottage usable all year.
In many cottages, unsealed roofs and walls cause major air leaks. Experts recommend starting with air sealing to control airflow and moisture.
After sealing, high-performance insulation like Spray Polyurethane Foam (SPF) is often recommended for its superior R-value and all-in-one air, moisture, and thermal protection—making it a top choice for attics and basements alike.
Crucially, Spray Foam must be installed by professionals—it’s a complex process that requires skill and experience, not suited for DIY.
