Energy-efficient - Reduces the size requirements of your HVAC System. Saves energy operating expenses by 30-50% per year. Stops air and moisture leakage - Reduces air and moisture infiltration, resulting in a more constant temperature and no drafts. Reduced Heating and Cooling Costs - One of the unique abilities of spray foams is getting into small cracks and crevices. Once the foam is utilized directly into the gaps, it expands and dries quickly while obstructing air and water. Foam insulation isn’t merely a blockade for air and water, but for heat and cold as well. It helps you to save your money on bills in the long-term, contributing to a more consistent temperature. A tight thermal envelope removes hot and cold zones in your home, for comfortable temperatures year-round. Eco-friendly - Spray foam reduces electricity consumption and protects your building against mold and mildew growth. Since it’s longer lasting than any other type of insulation, it utilizes less materials. Spray foam products are strictly regulated in Canada, and made from environmentally sustainable soy-based polyols and recycled plastics, reducing your carbon footprint. Light Weight - The high strength-to-weight ratio of foam creates an excellent product for roofing and re-roofing. Noise Reduction - Sound travels through the gaps and cracks between your wall space and around your windows and doorways – spaces that spray foam fills and reduces noise. For spaces such as floors and walls between suites or in theatre rooms, we will often use open-cell spray foam which is a superior sound insulator. Stops the Growth of Mold and Mildew - Moisture breeds mold. When you have gaps and cracks around your house, humidity levels stay high. The less water gets through your walls, the smaller the risk of developing health issues due to mold and mildew, which spray foam insulation protects against High R-Value - Spray Foam Insulation is better than competing insulation technologies. The higher the R-value, the more resistant a material is to thermal exchange. Spray foam is known to sustain its R-value even during extreme climate conditions, which means that it does not breakdown into toxic dust like fiberglass. It is safe to use for chemically and eco-friendly sensitive individuals, plus it does not bare a cancer warning label. Improved Air Quality - Our tight insulation blanket also works to prevent tiny pollen, dirt, dust, allergen, and pollution particles from getting into your home through cracks and crevices, defending your family and making sure your home has healthier and cleaner air.

There are two types of spray foam used in the industry today: closed cell and open cell. Each has different purposes and varying chemical makeup. Closed Cell Foam is the ultimate durable material used for insulation purposes in homes and businesses. Under a microscope, the foam cells are completely closed. The R-Values are very high (2x that of fiberglass batt insulation!). R-Values are the measurement of a material’s ability to resist heat flow. The higher the number, the better the insulation is. The reason Closed Cell foam has such a high R-Value is that it uses a liquid chemical blow agent. This helps it set quickly after being applied. It creates a very dense foam that achieves impeccable sealing results. Closed Cell Foam creates an unbeatable barrier. It reduces the amount of heat coming in during the summer and chilliness seeping into the dwelling during the winter. This particular product can reduce your utility charges by upwards of 45%. Who doesn’t want a cheaper electric bill? It’s no wonder that larger businesses and schools choose Closed Cell Foam for their insulation projects. With the number of people that come and go each day, it is the most cost-conscious option. Guardian Spray Solutions Inc can accommodate the larger jobs with Closed Cell Foam with ease.

The physical difference between Closed Cell and Open Cell spray foam is that under a microscope, the foam cells are open. It is generally a lighter “fluffier’ foam. Water or carbon dioxide is the blowing agent for this type of insulation. This fact reduces its R-Value as well. On average, the R-Value of Open Cell Foam is 3.0 per inch. While the R-Value is significantly less than its counterpart, it serves its purpose well. Some of the benefits of choosing Open Cell foam is to reduce noise reduction, insulate where a high R-value is not always needed, increases comfortability factor, and better energy efficiency. As you can see, the spray foam is definitely an upgrade from fiberglass and cellulose. Not sure what foam to use? Not a problem, that’s what we’re here for. We will help you make an informed choice.

Neither are better nor worse than the other, but there can be a difference based on what your project goal is. The one that you should choose depends on many factors. What is your budget? Are you looking to have a residential or commercial building insulated? With your current insulation, what issues are you seeing? To make the best decision on what is perfect for you, contact us today. Our trained staff can help point you in the right direction. We have many years of experience in our industry. Don’t worry — we won’t steer you wrong!

We do not recommend this. A professional insulator is the person who should work on your project. They have the training and expertise to apply to the product, which is regulated in Canada. Only certified Spray Technicians trained in spray foam can apply these registered products. There are knock-off products that can be sourced through the US, but “buyer beware”... we have been to homes that needed the product completely ripped out and replaced due to a number of factors. Products like this do not qualify for rebates, and can often void insurance. Guardian Spray Solutions Inc has highly knowledgeable technicians and state-of-the-art equipment. We attend continuing education courses and seminars all the time. Our job is to stay informed on all things insulation. Please contact our office, and we will gladly set you up an appointment for a free estimate. We look forward to hearing from you!

This is a question we get all the time. A lot of people, especially the ones that are replacing their insulation, think that they will eventually have to change out their new foam at some point. Spray foam is so durable that it is pretty much guaranteed for life. When Guardian Spray Solutions Inc installs a spray foam product in your home, it seals every place possible. Therefore, it will not rot or disintegrate over time. The product that can break down and create dust allergens is fibreglass. It doesn’t make it less of a commodity — it is just the nature of the product.

Quite the opposite. You will almost immediately notice a quality of air that you have never experienced before. Suddenly, you won’t need that air purifier that you have running all day long. Due to the foam covering every nook and cranny in your home or business, nothing bad comes in. This includes mould, mildew, moisture, and harmful air. We promise you that you will be impressed with your new air quality. All of our customers agree — properly insulating their home or business is one of the best investments they’ve made.

This is one of the worst myths out there when it comes to home insulation and completely contradicts creating an energy efficient space. A well constructed house that is energy efficient does not use its walls to let in and out air (and heat!). Why would someone ever put in an energy efficient heat system to have that heat flow in and out of the walls? This is Canada after all. Fresh air comes into the house through doors, windows, and a fresh air exchange system – not the walls.
