We are the leaders in the business, known for our quality workmanship, and our professional approach. For us, every project, no matter the size, receives the same high level of care and attention. In fact, when we’re finished with a spray foam install, there’s really no product or combination of products that compares with the results. Spray foam is truly the very best product on the market.
For insulation professionals throughout the industry, spray foam has become a big favorite in recent years. It’s highly recognized by builders, contractors, and renovators alike. The spray foam product is generically referred to as polyurethane foam, and is being routinely used in all kinds of applications, including new buildings, retrofit projects, and renovations. At GNI, spray foam has also turned into a big favorite. The product and installation deliver excellent results every time, along with benefits that surpass any of the other products on the market.
Spray foam is a favorite because it’s multi-dimensional, performing a number of functions with one application. It seals up a space like no other product. It brings higher R-Values to a space than other products. And it adds structural strength to a space after the install. Spray foam is the perfect application for those extra large attic spaces, and it’s ideal inside wall cavities. It covers and envelops a space so completely that everything is coated from end to end. And it seals tight - every hole, crack, and crevice - and all of those hard to reach spots throughout.
There seems to be little debate that spray foam has the highest R-Value compared to other products. But that’s not all – a proper install also serves as an impermeable air and moisture barrier. It means that a separate vapor barrier is no longer required. And the benefits are far reaching: energy efficiency is optimized; HVAC equipment performs at peak; and air circulation and air quality are improved throughout the premises. It means that everything is working as a “system”, with significant savings on energy consumption from season to season.
Great Northern Insulation believes in a professional install for the spray foam product. The compounds need special preparation - the application needs customized equipment - and the installation process needs expertise. An expert installer will use special equipment to spray the liquid foam into place, and will take care to assure uniform coverage. The thick liquid foam expands quickly, and then hardens into a dense layer of insulation. Needless to say, it’s a process that needs precision when using the equipment, and proficiency when applying.
GNI favors spray foam insulation because it successfully addresses a number of challenges in one application - extra high heating and cooling costs are normalized - heating and cooling cycles are re-balanced - and HVAC equipments starts to perform at maximum efficiency. With a proper installation, spray foam performs to the max, which is why GNI believes in the expert installation. Our people understand the nuances of the spray foam product, and are familiar with the different challenges posed by different applications.
GNI also believes in doing the job right the first time - that’s just how we operate. Our installers are trained, licensed and certified. They prepare the job site appropriately. They use the proper safety gear, and they make sure that occupants are safe during an installation. GNI team members understand the ins and outs of the project they are working on, and the outcomes that are expected. The bottom line is to maintain a high quality of workmanship, to strive for optimum product performance, and to deliver the desired results for the customer.

As our product-of-choice, we regularly recommend spray foam insulation. At the same time, we regularly discourage customers from undertaking spray foam as a DIY project – it can pose serious risks, and the experience of calling in an expert for a rework can be stressful and costly. As mentioned, spray foam requires skill and proficiency. The equipment requires expertise, the chemicals require special handling, and the installation requires a level of competence that only comes from years of experience. This is a project best left to the professionals.
In terms of budget, it’s acknowledged that spray foam is costly, but it’s widely acknowledged that the benefits, both short term and long term, outweigh the cost. Spray foam delivers many more benefits than any other insulation product, or combination of products. It will last a lifetime, and it won’t need replacement or replenishment. It has a payback period between 2 and 7 years, and the energy savings from year to year are substantial. All in all, it’s a cost-benefit trade-off that makes economic sense.
