FAQs
Can I install spray foam insulation myself?
If you are thinking about buying a do-it-yourself spray foam insulation kit, take a moment to look at the precautions and concerns of going that route. While kits are available at hardware stores, the installation process requires consideration for building code. And since the spray foam is made of chemicals (polyurethane), they need to be handled with care. To make sure your new insulation is as effective as possible (and a worthwhile home investment), we always recommend professional installation.
Can spray foam insulation help with soundproofing?
Yes, spray foam insulation can contribute to soundproofing. The transfer of airborne noises is decreased thanks to its dense and firm nature, which helps form an airtight seal. Noise from outside sources like traffic or boisterous neighbors can be efficiently reduced with spray foam insulation. Additionally, it can improve privacy and lessen noise transmission between different parts of a structure by helping to contain sounds inside a room.
How does spray foam insulation work?
Spray foam insulation is a two-component system consisting of a polyol resin and an isocyanate. These components are combined on-site using specialized machinery, then sprayed onto surfaces as a liquid. Upon application, the mixture expands and undergoes a chemical reaction to create a sturdy foam that sticks to the area sprayed. Rapid foam expansion fills up spaces, gaps, and cracks to form a smooth, airtight insulating layer. The cured foam provides excellent thermal insulation, moisture barrier, and structural support.
Are there any incentives or rebates available for installing spray foam insulation?
In Ottawa, there are many incentives and rebates available for installing spray foam insulation. These programs can include financial incentives, tax credits, grants, or rebates for upgrading insulation in residential or commercial buildings. Speak to our helpful staff or have a look at our grants page to see applicable grants and incentives.
Why install insulation in walls?
An insulated home is one of the best ways to ensure energy efficiency and indoor comfort. As a barrier between a house and the outside, properly insulated external walls help stop condensation and the movement of heat, moisture, and air between areas. Eliminating draftiness, improving privacy between spaces, and reducing sound transmission are all aided by insulating internal walls, all of which can lower heating and cooling costs.
