Is meeting the required R-value enough to pass inspection smoothly?

Meeting the R-value is essential, but a smooth inspection also depends on correct air sealing, vapour barrier installation, and proper coverage. We install each system to meet the full Ontario Building Code requirements for your assembly, not just the R-value target.

What insulation approach works best for Burlington's climate?

Burlington's cold winters and humid summers call for strong thermal resistance paired with good moisture control. Many builds use a hybrid approach, with spray foam in air-sealing areas and batt and poly in standard walls. We recommend the mix that fits your assembly and budget.

Can you handle insulation for multi-unit or large projects?

Yes. We work with developers and multi-unit builders as well as single-home contractors, and we scale our scheduling and crews to fit larger projects while keeping the build on track.

Insulation Services for New Builds

We tailor each insulation plan to the framing type, project scale, and design specs. For new construction in Burlington, we regularly insulate basements, attics, exterior and interior walls, garages, and rim joists. Choosing the right system early keeps performance consistent and helps avoid costly corrections later.

Spray Foam

Spray foam is often the first choice for new builds because it air-seals as it expands, filling gaps that other materials leave exposed. Benefits include:

High thermal resistance (High R-value)
Effective air and moisture control
Long-term durability with minimal settling

It performs well in basements, rim joists, attics, and exterior wall assemblies where air sealing is most important.

Batt/Poly

Batt insulation paired with a vapour barrier is a code-compliant option for many standard assemblies. It delivers consistent thermal performance and cost efficiency, and it suits:

Standard wall assemblies with straightforward framing
Projects with defined budget parameters
Hybrid systems, where batt is combined with spray foam in key areas

This flexibility lets builders balance cost, performance, and code requirements on a single project.

Ontario Building Code

Insulation requirements for new builds in Burlington are set by the Ontario Building Code and vary by assembly and building type. We design each install to meet the current code minimums and coordinate with your trades so insulation is ready for inspection at each stage.
