Spray Foam Insulation in Kitchener

For more and more insulation professionals in the region, spray foam insulation has emerged as the best product available.  When compared to similar products in the same category, spray foam invariably tops the list.  It’s just a better product, with better attributes, and with better overall results.  If you are currently shopping for insulation, and if you are looking for spray foam insulation in Kitchener, you may want to look at Great Northern Insulation.  At GNI, we specialize in spray foam insulation, and we focus on delivering 100% customer satisfaction.

Great Northern Insulation is a well-established contractor throughout the region, and has built a reputation for trust and reliability.  We have a straightforward approach to our installations:  we seal tight and ventilate right.  Every project is professionally managed by trained, skilled installers, with oversight from the beginning of the project to the end.  And when an install is completed, nothing can compare with the excellent performance of the spray foam product.  Indeed, for GNI, spray foam insulation has turned into a “product of choice” for many projects.

Many homebuilders, contractors, and independent renovators have joined the ranks, agreeing that spray foam is just a better product.  Generically, it’s referred to as polyurethane foam, and is being commonly used in all kinds of applications, including new construction, renovations, and retrofits.  At GNI, we think that spray foam delivers more benefits than any other product.  It does a better job of sealing - it results in higher R-values - and it adds structural strength where it’s applied.  There’s really no other product that can deliver it all at one time.

In recent years, spray foam insulation has become the preferred option for larger, expansive spaces like the roof and the attic.  It’s also become an excellent alternative inside wall cavities.  When properly installed, an attic space can be completely encased from end to end, including all of the cracks and crevices, and all of the hard-to-reach areas.  The completed spray foam application provides exceptional insulation, while providing an air and moisture barrier that is impermeable.  The finished job also eliminates the requirement to install a vapor barrier.

GNI believes that a professional should perform a spray foam install.  The installation requires special equipment, which sprays the foam into a cavity, and allows the material to spread out in thick liquid form.  The installer ensures a uniform application, which allows the foam to expand and harden into place.  The result is a super-dense coating of insulation that remains in place.  But it does more than just insulate.  The finished application contributes to energy efficiency; enhances air circulation and air quality; and significantly improves overall HVAC performance.

For the installers at GNI, spray foam application is considered part of a “system”.  With a proper install, a number of issues are addressed:  high heating and cooling costs are normalized; heating and cooling cycles are better balanced; and efficiency levels of HVAC equipment are optimized.  However, the spray foam product will only perform to its potential when properly installed.  This is a project that requires the skills of a professional – one who appreciates the unique qualities of the product, and the complexities of the application.

The significance of a proper install can’t be overemphasized.  And at GNI, we know how to do it right the first time.  Our installers are licensed and certified.  They properly prepare the jobsite.  They use safety gear and they wear protective attire.  But most importantly, they make sure to safeguard occupants and residents while the installation takes place.  GNI installers also make sure they understand the challenges of a specific project, in order to ensure the highest quality installation - an installation that will deliver the best results for the customer.

If you are looking for spray foam insulation in Kitchener, or in the communities of Waterloo Region, Great Northern Insulation can provide the skill and expertise for your project, large or small.  Our installers are highly trained and experienced:  they follow established building and construction codes; they pay attention to the manufacturer’s product specifications; and they observe the local by-laws.  On project completion, the customer receives the product warranty from the manufacturer, in addition to the GNI guarantee on work preformed.

Whatever the project, GNI will recommend a product that matches the need.  We stand behind the spray foam application and recommend it readily – for new construction, for renovation projects, and for retrofit jobs.  We will also discourage customers from undertaking a spray foam installation as a do-it-yourself project.  This is an install that requires special handling:  the application equipment is specialized, the product itself is unique and nuanced, and there is potential for the installation to be complex.  This kind of project is best left to the experts.

Recent statistics show annual growth of 40% for spray foam usage - it quite simply reinforces the acceptance of the product and its value.  Now, spray foam insulation is a more expensive option than some others, but a basic cost-benefit assessment will conclude that the investment   is worthwhile, especially when assessing over the long run.  The truth is, spray foam insulation is a premium product with benefits that surpass others.  The application lasts a lifetime; needs no replacement/replenishment; and delivers a reasonable payback between 2 and 7 years.

In today’s consumer environment, everyone’s concerned with energy efficiency, with a focus on energy savings.  That’s why spray foam insulation has gained such acceptance - it delivers the results.  For so many reasons, spray foam has become the favorite for insulation professionals throughout the industry.  So if you are looking for spray foam insulation in Kitchener, or in the Waterloo region, have a look at Great Northern Insulation.  We’ve been in business for over 35 years, and have grown into Canada's largest full-service insulation contractor.  As a leader in the home-comfort industry, we’ll show you how a quality approach can make all the difference.  You’ll be in good hands with Great Northern Insulation, with a professional approach to project management, and installation expertise that will deliver the desired results.
