Spray Foam Insulation for the Attic

November 10, 2017

Homeowners considering spray foam insulation in Toronto will be wisely investing in the best insulation product on the market. When it comes to air sealing, moisture control, and energy efficiency, nothing can compare with the performance of spray foam. And in the attic, it’s the ideal option for upgrading or retrofitting the existing insulation.

Retrofitting with spray foam insulation is the most effective way to seal pockets of air leakage while ensuring the very best thermal insulation for both winter and summer weather. More importantly, energy efficiency is maximized, which in turn reduces overall energy consumption and decreases seasonal utility costs for many years to come.  

Today, more and more contractors are recommending spray foam insulation in Toronto as the product-of-choice for the attic and roof. Spray foam is considered to be high performance, with more benefits than other insulation products or combination of products. One on one, no product can compare with the high-performance level of spray foam.

While there is no shortage of insulation products on the market, spray foam offers numerous short-term and long-term benefits. For homeowners thinking about spray foam insulation in Toronto, it’s important to have the work done professionally. The product itself needs special handling, and the application requires previous experience.  

An insulation product that effectively seals & prevents air leakage in your attic

In the attic and roof cavity, spray foam does more with one application than any comparable product. It seals the entire attic space airtight. It provides very high R-Value insulation. And it adds structural strength wherever installed. For homeowners focused on energy efficiency, spray foam provides the highest performance, without compare.

With a professional install, spray foam does more than just insulate. Throughout the attic space, the “envelope” creates a combination air barrier and vapor barrier, preventing any air leakage or moisture accumulation. As a result, the HVAC system (heating + cooling) operates in better balance and with better performance (winter and summer).

Homeowners who have already installed spray foam insulation in Toronto are likely to notice the impact on home energy efficiency almost immediately. Most noticeable is a reduction in utility costs, including winter heating and summer cooling. Long run, the substantial savings, year after year, will serve to “pay down” the original project investment.

Spray foam insulation needs to be handled by professional installers

Probably of most importance with a spray foam installation is to work with a highly experienced professional. By any measure, this is not a weekend DIY project. Spray foam requires expert handling, and the application process requires a certain level of expertise. Trained installers know how to ensure an “insulation blanket” that will perform.

For those installing spray foam insulation in Toronto, it will likely deliver the best return-on-investment when compared with other applications. However, the spray foam product and installation will not suit every project budget. As such, a professional installer will have some valuable advice on a variety of “combination” installations.

In terms of contractors, homeowners would be wise to choose a full-service provider. In this way, warranties are trustworthy and customer satisfaction is guaranteed. A full-service contractor can also ensure follow-up in the event of any issues or problems.
