Spray Foam Insulation in Hamilton

The popularity of spray foam insulation has increased as more industry professionals discover the benefits of the product.  With industry comparisons evaluating various product categories, spray foam insulation usually comes out as number one - it’s a better product all round; it has better product features; and it delivers better results over the long run.  If you are currently shopping for spray foam insulation in Hamilton, or in the various communities of the Golden Horseshoe, this may be a good time to look at Great Northern Insulation as a contractor.

GNI specializes in spray foam insulation – we are a reliable and reputable contractor, with an established reputation, and with a focus on quality work and customer satisfaction.  Projects are expertly managed from start to finish, and our professional installers are all highly trained and proficient in their field.  And when we complete an installation, there’s nothing much that can compare with the performance level of the spray foam application.  In fact, for so many of our projects, the spray foam product has become the “go-to” product for our teams.

With spray foam, the consensus is clear for homebuilders, contractors, and renovators – it’s quite simply considered a better product all around.  Also known generically as polyurethane foam, the product is ideal for new construction, renovations or retrofits.  And the installers at GNI have to agree with the consensus - spray foam insulation delivers more benefits than other products - it seals better; it makes for higher R-values; and it adds structural strength where it’s applied.  There really is no other product that can deliver all of the benefits at one time.

For those very large spaces like the roof or the attic, spray foam insulation has quickly become the “preferred” installation.  Applied properly, it’s also becoming a great option for the inside of wall cavities.  Spray foam covers a given space comprehensively.  It blankets an attic space or roof cavity, and coats the entire expanse from end to end.  Every little opening and gap is filled, including hard-to-reach spots that other products just can’t accommodate.  The finished install provides excellent insulation capacity, and acts as an air and moisture barrier simultaneously.

GNI believes in doing it right the first time, and that means having an experienced professional expedite the installation.  The application equipment needs special handling and the spray foam itself requires application expertise.  The product is sprayed out in its thick liquid form, and the installer makes sure the coating is consistent and uniform.  As the foam expands throughout the space, it hardens into a dense blanket of insulation.  A finished install will deliver the results: improved energy efficiency, better air circulation/air quality, and enhanced HVAC performance.

At Great Northern Insulation, installers look at a spray foam application as part of a “system”.  And that system is designed to resolve a number of issues at the same time:  high heating and cooling costs; irregular heating and cooling cycles; and poor performance of HVAC equipment.  The spray foam product can resolve it all, but it MUST be properly installed.  And that means employing a professional approach, with an installation team that understands the ins-and-outs of spray foam insulation, and appreciates the potential complexities of the project.

A “proper” installation actually includes more than just the application process.  The installers at Great Northern Insulation are licensed and certified.  They prepare the worksite properly.  They use appropriate safety gear.  They wear the right personal protective wear.  And, more importantly, they know how to ensure the safety of occupants and residents at the worksite. GNI installers understand the challenges of a job, with a view to quality installation – it’s really the only way to assure product performance and results for the customer.

If you’re shopping for spray foam insulation in Hamilton, or in the communities that surround the Golden Horseshoe, Great Northern Insulation can address your needs and deliver results.  Our installers do it right the first time – without taking shortcuts.  They observe building codes; they follow the manufacturer’s install specifications; and they obey local by-laws.  When the job is done, we provide a warranty from the manufacturer, and our own installation guarantee.  For GNI, 100% customer satisfaction is the top priority on every project we take on.

GNI installers will always suggest a product that suits the specific requirement.  And when it comes to spray foam insulation, we routinely suggest the application for renovations, retrofits and new construction.  But we will also discourage customers from undertaking an application themselves, and turning it into a DIY project.  This is work that requires expertise.  The spray equipment needs special handling, as does the spray foam product itself.  And the installation can pose complexities – it’s work for a professional who has the skill and proficiency.

The popularity of spray foam has grown dramatically.  In more recent years it has experienced close to 40% annual growth.  And although the product and installation are considered to be more costly than some of the other products on the market, a simple cost-benefit calculation can show that the overall investment is quite worthwhile.  Overall, the spray foam product will bring benefits that most other products can’t.  The application lasts a lifetime.  There isn’t any need for replacement or replenishment.  And the payback period is from 2 to 7 years.

Today, it’s clear that energy efficiency is of concern to many customers.  Energy efficiency translates into energy savings, and spray foam insulation responds to both.  So it’s no surprise that it’s become the “go to” product for industry professionals throughout the region.  If you’re in the process of looking for spray foam insulation in Hamilton, have a look at Great Northern Insulation – we’ve been in business for 35 years, having grown into Canada's largest full-service insulation contractor.  We’ll show you how a quality installation can make all the difference.
