In recent years, spray foam insulation has gained recognition as the best product on the market. And most insulation professionals agree. When compared to similar products, spray foam rises to the top, with better product features and better project results. If you are in the midst of shopping around for spray foam insulation in Oakville, or in the surrounding communities, this could be a good time to consider Great Northern Insulation as your contractor of choice. We are well established throughout the area, and have a proven record of reliability and trust.
Our primary focus at GNI is to deliver 100% customer satisfaction on every job we take. We stand behind the products we sell and install, and our installation protocol is based on a simple premise: we seal it tight and ventilate it right. When we undertake a spray foam project, everything is professionally managed and expedited by some of the best installation experts in the field. And when an installation is complete, no other product can really compare in terms of the performance excellence of the spray foam.
Like so many others in the industry, GNI recognizes the spray foam product as the “product of choice” - and the results bear out the performance. For new homebuilders and renovation contractors, spray foam insulation is simply a better product. It’s known as polyurethane foam, and GNI will routinely recommend the product for new construction, renovation projects, and retrofits. From our experience, we’ve seen the product deliver a number of benefits: it has the highest R-value; it seals better than anything; and it adds structural strength where it’s applied.
When dealing with very large spaces, there’s no insulating product that is better suited than spray foam. And for those large cavities like attic and roofs (even inside the walls), spray foam is the ultimate. With a top-notch install, spray foam completely envelops a space, with every opening, hole, and crevice getting fully sealed. Even hard-to-reach cavities are completely coated. The finished application is impermeable to both air and moisture, and accomplishes the objective of sealing and insulating. As well, there is no need for a separate vapor barrier.
Like any quality product, spray foam should be applied and installed by a professional. The compound is sprayed out into a given space, using a special nozzle, and the liquid mixture spreads out evenly and uniformly. The foam expands as it spreads, and quickly hardens into the dense layer of insulation that will remain in place. This is an application that will provide more than just insulation - energy efficiency will be improved; air circulation and air quality will be enhanced; and HVAC equipment will perform to its full potential.
At GNI, we install spray foam insulation as part of a “system”, where everything contributes to a better indoor environment. Seasonal heating and cooling costs are measurably reduced. Heat and cool cycles are put back into balance. And the entire HVAC system performs at a higher capacity. However, as good as it is, spray foam insulation will perform at full capacity ONLY when installed properly. Indeed, that’s why GNI firmly believes in an expert installation, with a professional who understands the uniqueness of BOTH product AND installation.

After so many years in the business, we can’t overstate the importance of an expert install – its vital to the integrity the product.

Beyond that, they use the appropriate safety gear and protective wear, and make certain to safeguard any occupants or residents. This is our way of doing the job right the first time. It’s also an approach to business that renders the best results for every customer.
At GNI, we only recommend products that suit the customer’s needs. We believe in the spray foam product, and will readily recommend it for new construction, renovations and retrofits. We will also discourage most customers from making spray foam insulation a DIY project for the weekend - this is not the right time for a “do-it-yourself” project. This is as project that requires handling special equipment, and expert handling of a unique product. The application can sometimes be complex, and should therefore be handled by those who have the training.
The growth of spray foam insulation has been incredible in recent years - about 40% per year. And although the product and installation are more expensive than other products, a “cost-benefit” review will clearly show that the investment is worthwhile. The truth is, you really do get what you pay for. And spray foam insulation is a high-quality product with exceptional product features and benefits. This is an application that will last a lifetime, without the need for replacement or replenishment. Best of all, the payback period is between 2 and 7 years.
