Which Insulation Material Do You Need ?

Home insulation comes in a variety of forms and material options, each suited to different parts of your home. During your free, no-obligation in-home assessment, our insulation installers will recommend from the following:

• Loose Fill Insulation: Consists of small pieces of fibreglass or cellulose insulation material. Loose fill insulation installation, insulation material is blown into an open space, most often an attic, crawlspace or between walls.

• Batt Insulation: Commonly composed of flat pads of fibreglass insulation. Batt insulation installation typically involves fitting the pads between wall studs, floor or ceiling joists, and roof rafters.

• Board Insulation: Made of solid foam. Board insulation installation is best suited as part of basement finishing, especially where insulation is being placed directly over masonry.

• Spray Foam Insulation: Highly efficient and flexible insulation material that can be applied just about anywhere in your home. Spray foam installers in Scarborough can help you get the most out of your insulation with minimal use of space.

What Are Some Signs You May Need An Insulation Upgrade?

• Parts of Your Home Are Too Hot/Too Cold
You may find some rooms or areas in your home are too cold in winter and too hot in summer, no matter your thermostat settings.

• Cold Floors, Walls & Ceilings
If you notice your home’s floors, walls, and ceilings are cold to the touch in winter, they may not be sufficiently insulated – and you’re losing heated air to the outside.

• Dampness and Condensation
In a well-insulated home, the walls and ceilings should be warm and dry to the touch. If any of your walls are showing signs of moisture or dampness, it may be a sign of insufficient insulation.

• High Energy Bills
If the cost to heat or cool your home seems unusually expensive, while your home heating and cooling systems are running too long and not delivering the desired comfort, improving your home’s insulation could be the solution.

Your Insulation Installation Questions Answered

How long does new insulation last?

The average life expectancy for new home insulation is between 80-100 years.

Fibreglass wool batt and roll insulation may need replacing in 15-20 years due to water damage, moisture, mold or pest infestations.

Can I insulate my walls without tearing them down?

While it’s possible to fill some gaps behind walls by drilling holes and applying spray foam or loose fill insulation through them, removing walls is still the best way to ensure that wall insulation is installed as evenly and effectively as possible to yield the best results for your home.

Which is cheaper, blown-in or rolled insulation?

Since blown-in and rolled insulation are each better suited in different situations, their relative cost per square foot matters less than where it will be applied and how much is needed.

Our expert insulation installers in Scarborough have the experience and knowledge to recommend a solution that is the most appropriate and cost-effective for the job at hand.

Which insulation has the best R-value?

While certain materials, such as rigid foam board insulation or spray foam insulation, can have a higher R-value per inch than other materials such as fibreglass insulation or cellulose insulation, this is not the sole determining factor for which insulation option to install in your home and where.

For example, loose-fill cellulose insulation is an efficient, cost-effective solution that can be blown into an attic to provide R-values over 50. Foam board insulation, while a more efficient insulator, is not as practical an attic insulation material for most homes and is a better option for insulating basements and masonry walls.

What is the cheapest insulation to install?

Your insulation installation cost in Scarborough will depend less on the material chosen than the scope of your project. Blown-in cellulose or fibreglass may be cheaper options per square foot of application, but they wouldn’t be your material of choice for walls or foundations where solid insulation options such as foam boards or fibreglass batts are more suitable.

During your free, no-obligation in-home assessment, our insulation installers near you will explain your options and plan an insulation upgrade that’s best for your needs and budget.

How do I know if I need an insulation upgrade?

If any part of your home is failing to keep up with your home’s thermostat controls – too cold in winter, too hot in summer – you may need insulation installation.

Many older homes, unless previously retrofitted, often do not have insulation in places, such as walls and basements, where insulation would typically be found in newer builds. In these cases, a full-home insulation upgrade can make a significant difference for your home’s comfort and energy efficiency.

What’s included with my home insulation services?

Your insulation installation services in Scarborough will start with a free, no-obligation in-home assessment, after which our installer will provide a detailed quote for the services recommended.

Insulation installation cost will include all parts and labour required, plus a final inspection and site clean-up. All of our work is backed up by a 1-year labour warranty.

What’s the average cost of installing insulation?

Your home insulation installation cost will vary depending on the type of insulation used, the size of your home and the size of your home insulation upgrade project.

How long will the insulation services take to complete?

On average, our house insulation contractors in Scarborough will require about 3-4 hours to insulate a standard size room.

The required time to install insulation will depend on the scope of your project and other factors unique to your home. Your installation installer will be able to provide an estimate for the time required.

How will I know that the insulation contractors near me are authorized by The Home Depot?

Our authorized insulation contractors carry an orange Home Depot Home Services badge. If this badge is not visible, ask to see it. This badge means they have undergone a thorough background screening process and are properly certified and insured.

Will I require alternative accommodations during the installation?

In most cases, alternative accommodations are not required to complete your insulation retrofit. A standard size room can be completed within 3-4 hours.

Can I install insulation myself?

While you may be able to install your own insulation if you are experienced and have the appropriate PPE, our insulation contractors in Scarborough are certified in the preparation and safe application of various types of insulation throughout your home – and their work is backed up by a 1-year labour warranty.

Safety hazards such as exposed electrical wiring, lighting, chemical storage, ventilation fans and flammable products can best be avoided by hiring a certified insulation contractor

Larger insulation projects such as a basement or exterior walls should be completed by a professional for the best results
