● Easy to install between standard wall studs
● Made from fibreglass, mineral wool, or cotton
● Offers solid thermal and soundproofing performance
Blown-In Insulation● Great for retrofitting existing walls
● Fills gaps and voids thoroughly
● Reduces air leaks for better energy efficiency
● Made from cellulose, fibreglass, or mineral wool
Spray Foam Insulation● Creates a seamless, airtight barrier
● Superior R-value and moisture resistance
● Ideal for complex wall structure
● Helps improve indoor air quality
Rigid Foam Board● High R-value per inch
● Great for exterior wall applications
● Adds structural strength
● Moisture-resistant and durable
Each type offers a different combination of affordability, efficiency, and ease of installation. Our team will help determine the best fit based on your unique property and project needs.
Factors to Consider When Choosing Wall Insulation
Before choosing wall insulation, there are several key factors to keep in mind. Making an informed choice means better results and longer-lasting benefits.
Climate and Location Alberta's fluctuating temperatures demand insulation that performs year-round. Colder climates benefit from higher R-value materials like spray foam or rigid board.
BudgetBalancing upfront costs with long-term energy savings is crucial. While spray foam has higher initial costs, it often provides the greatest return on investment.
Type of Construction● New Builds: You have full flexibility in choosing and installing any type of insulation.
● Existing Structures: May require non-invasive methods like blown-in insulation.
Health & Safety Some insulation materials can pose health risks during installation. We use professional-grade safety protocols to protect your space and occupants.
Environmental ImpactMany of today's insulation products are made with recycled content, contributing to improved energy performance and a lower carbon footprint for your home.
We consider all these variables when recommending insulation options, ensuring your comfort and savings are built to last.
DIY vs. Professional Installation
Installing insulation yourself may seem like a way to save money, but wall insulation requires precision and proper sealing to be truly effective. Here's how DIY compares to hiring professionals:
DIY Pros● Lower initial cost
● Full control over the project
● Personal satisfaction
DIY Cons● Risk of improper installation
● No workmanship warranty
● Potential code violations
● Safety concerns when handling certain materials
Professional Installation Benefits● Expert knowledge and experience
● Accurate material selection and application
● Workmanship warranties and code compliance
● Faster, cleaner, and safer results
While DIY can work for simple jobs, a professional installation ensures airtight coverage, maximum energy savings, and peace of mind. ProInsulate's team is fully licensed, insured, and trained to install insulation safely and efficiently—so you don't have to take the risk.
Wall Insulation FAQs
What are the different kinds of spray foam available?
There are two main types of spray foam insulation: open-cell and closed-cell.
Open-cell insulation is comprised of cells that are not completed encapsulated and intentionally left open creating a more flexible material. It is a good noise reduction option, and when correctly placed, open-cell spray foam insulation outperforms all other types of insulation. Compared to traditional insulation, open-cell foam insulation is a great low-cost alternative with better energy efficiency. It further provides excellent thermal comfort and indoor air quality while helping to decrease the danger of moisture issues. Hence, open-cell commercial spray foam insulation is the sound choice if you’re looking for a budget-friendly insulation solution.
Closed-cell insulation has enclosed cells that are smaller and more dense than open-cell insulation. This insulation is more ridged and is great for creating a water vapour barrier preventing moisture and humidity from passing through. Closed-cell spray foam insulation also has a higher R-value than open-cell insulation.What exactly does insulation R-Value mean?
Insulation performance is measured in units called R-values. This is a rating of how well the insulation will prevent heat from passing through the material. When reading an R-value rating, it is per inch of the insulation thickness. So if a material has an R-value of 5, installing 3 inches of the product will result in an R-value of 15 for the insulated area. Insulation ratings vary greatly based on the material, it’s thickness, and density.
Can spray foam be installed between wall studs without removing interior sheathing?
In most cases, you’ll need to remove interior or exterior sheathing before applying spray foam. Trying to add spray foam between wall studs through small access holes can result in bowed-out walls and other structural damage.
Will spray foam insulation handle standing flood water?
Closed-cell spray foam has excellent water resistance. If your area experiences flooding, spray foam insulation can make it easier to deal with the aftermath. Unlike other insulation types, closed-cell spray foam won’t hold water or become waterlogged. This is great news for home and business owners worried about the growth of mold and mildew after flooding.
Why should I invest in spray foam insulation?
Choosing to invest in spray foam insulation for your property is a great decision because it is long lasting, provides superior levels of insulation, and can provide many additional benefits. Spray foam insulation creates an airtight, moisture resistant barrier with the highest R-value of any insulation products available on the market. Spray foam can reduce your heating expenses by 50% depending on your property structure and requires no maintenance when installed properly. Spray foam products can also offer soundproofing, fireproofing, and structural benefits.
