Insulation in Barrie

Insulation work in Barrie

The housing stock here spans about seventy years, and each era brought its own insulation problem. Homes built before the 1980s were commonly built with little or no wall insulation and a thin attic layer that has since settled to half its original depth. Homes from the 1990s and 2000s usually have batts, but often with the air sealing skipped — which is why they feel drafty despite being 'insulated'. New builds need the envelope done to current code, on schedule, and inspection-ready.

Add a Georgian Bay snow belt winter and lake-effect wind coming off Kempenfelt Bay, and the gap between a house that was insulated and a house that was insulated properly shows up on the bill every February.

We handle all four systems in Barrie — spray foam, BIBS blown-in, batt and vacuum removal — so we can quote the right product for each part of your house rather than the one product we happen to sell.

What we install here

All four systems: spray foam, blown-in BIBS, batt and vacuum removal with re-insulation to current Ontario Building Code.

Spray Foam Insulation

A seamless air barrier and insulation in one step — the highest-performing option for attics, basements, crawl spaces and hard-to-seal areas.

Blown-In (BIBS) Insulation

The Blow-In Blanket System packs cavities completely full — R-24 in a 2x6 wall, R-14 in a 2x4 — with excellent sound control and a drill-and-fill option for finished walls.

BATT Insulation

Traditional fibreglass and mineral wool batts, installed properly — friction-fit, uncompressed and detailed to the Ontario Building Code.

Insulation Removal

HEPA vacuum removal of old, contaminated, pest-damaged or water-damaged insulation — then we fix what caused it and re-insulate to code.
