Under-Slab Spray Foam Insulation In Residential Homes
Residential home insulation is essential across Canada, with a focus on energy efficiency. Proper insulation, including under-slab spray foam, ensures year-round performance and maximum thermal protection, especially in new home construction.
Under-slab spray foam insulation plays a crucial role in maintaining a comfortable indoor environment by preventing heat loss through the foundation.
Spray foam insulation effectively seals hard-to-reach spaces other materials can't
Spray foam insulation creates a continuous barrier, bonding with substrates and sealing around plumbing and infrastructure. Though pricier than other options, it’s a cost-effective investment for superior insulation and long-term efficiency.
Based on year-round utility savings, the return on investment for under-slab spray foam insulation is quick. In new builds and major renovations, it offers unmatched benefits with a single application. No other option compares.
A Cost Effective Solution: Blown Fiber Insulation
Blown fiber insulation, available in cellulose or fiberglass, is a cost-effective option for attics, roof cavities, and walls. Cellulose offers slightly higher R-Value but may settle over time, while both materials are fire-resistant and pest-free. Professional installation ensures complete coverage for maximum effectiveness.
Insulating the under-slab in a basement reduces heating needs, lowers utility bills, and prevents moisture. Spray foam is often recommended for both the under-slab and foundation walls, providing continuous air sealing. It’s cost-effective in new construction, offering a quick, single-step process before the concrete slab is finished.
