and we're not the only ones talking about it...

Since closed-cell spray foam insulation is our business, it's only natural that we like to talk about it. And we know it's a great choice when you're looking at retrofitting your home. But it turns out, we're not the only ones.


CanadianContractor.ca, a trusted source of trade information within the construction industry, recently posted about the benefits of closed-cell spray foam insulation, specifically when retrofitting existing structures. You can find the full article here but these are some of the highlights:


Basement Retrofits

"Beyond reducing energy consumption, spray foam insulation offers critical benefits in regions prone to flooding. The closed-cell structure of the foam makes it highly resistant to water, helping prevent moisture damage and mold growth, which are common issues in damp basement environments."


Solid Masonry Wall Retrofits

"By applying spray foam insulation either to the interior or exterior of masonry walls, homeowners can significantly increase efficiency while maintaining the historical appearance of their homes."


Futureproofing with Spray Foam Insulation

"By investing in spray foam insulation retrofits today, homeowners and builders alike can prepare their properties for the future, ensuring they are well protected against rising energy costs, unpredictable weather events, and the growing demand for sustainable, low-carbon solutions."
