My existing walls have no insulation, what can I do?

We will address two types of insulation, traditional fibreglass batt insulation and spray foam insulation.

Quite simply, in order to apply the traditional fibreglass batt insulation, you would have to remove the existing wall surface, install the fiberglass insulation, install an approved vapor barrier and then rehang the drywall, tape, mud and re-finish.

With spray foam insulation, the most efficient way is to remove the existing drywall, apply the insulation and re-install the drywall. Please feel free to contact us for more details and to discuss all of your options.

Sprayed foam offers a high R value, is an approved air barrier, doesn't retain any moisture and therefore eliminates the risk for mould buildup. Spray foam also improves structure rigidity and provides additional sound proofing. It is in most cases, the best insulation solution available.
