\"House<\/p>\n

Have you ever wondered if you could drill holes into you outer walls and insulate your house? The answer, unfortunately, is no.\u00a0Calgary’s best insulation contractors<\/a> understand that the thought of opening up all your drywall to upgrade your insulation is\u00a0a big reason why many home owners don’t bother with it. \u00a0Learn how to insulate walls<\/a>.<\/p>\n

There have been\u00a0a few products on the market that attempted to address this issue of not wanting to embark on a major renovation in order to upgrade insulation. Unfortunately, none of them have really done the job properly. They do not provide a good vapor barrier, which is usually the real issue why your insulation isn’t performing well. If you try one of these methods you might end up paying a hefty bill to an\u00a0insulation contractor<\/a>\u00a0with minimal results in the end.<\/p>\n

For more information read “Learning About Home Insulation<\/a>“.<\/p>\n

The good news is that\u00a0spray foam insulation<\/strong> can be installed from the exterior of the home. In older homes that have a 2×4 framing assembly, this type of insulation can bring the wall R-value up to R-20. This can be done with as little as 3 and a 1\/4 inch of closed cell spray foam insulation. This ability to upgrade your old low R-value insulation and create an air tight seal is a great solution for home owners who need to improve their energy efficiency and home comfort.<\/p>\n
