“The fact that I can't even tell it's 6 degrees outside when I wake up in the morning speaks for itself. Have wasted so much money attempting to heat and cool an uninsulated home. Worth every $.”

“I was extremely satisfied with the service they provided. They gave a very thourough explanation of the materials used, the way the work will be carried out and the price I had to pay was the exact amount quoted, no hidden costs included. They arrived on time, well prepared and workwas carried out exactly how they said it would be, they were super efficient, well prepared and were kind enough to even clean up after themselves. The services they provided was second to none! I don't hesitate to recommend them for any insulation job!”

Cellulose vs fibreglass batts
Why an R5 batt isn't an R5 in your roof: gaps, fire, rats, settling and the SDS fine print.
Cellulose vs polyester
Which of our own two products goes where. We don't have a dog in that fight.
Cellulose vs spray foam
Higher R-per-inch isn't the whole story: gaps, removability, isocyanates and recyclability.
Polyester vs fibreglass batts
The King of batts vs the itchy ones: non-itch, no SDS, moisture-shrugging, locally made.
Spray foam vs polyester underfloor
What foam installers won't put on their site: moisture, removal, cost.
The 3-way comparison table
Cellulose, polyester and fibreglass side by side on gaps, fire, pests, sound, settling and guarantee.
