Attic Insulation
Insulating your attic is often a task that gets overlooked when undergoing home improvements. Blown attic insulation is rather cost efficient compared to other types of insulation and has a variety of benefits. Attic insulation stabilizes the temperatures through out the house and when done properly can noticeably increase the comfort of the occupants of the home. Improper installations cause mold and condensation leading to far more serious issues. It is crucial to add sufficient airflow to account for temperature changes. Attic insulation is very important for keeping your heating and cooling bills down. It’s estimated that a properly insulated attic can save you 10-50% on your heating bill (especially important in Ontario’s climate). BDK Foam insulation uses top-quality fiberglass blowing agents to achieve your desired results.
Thermal Barrier/ Fire Coating
Thermal Barrier or Fire coating is a sprayed paint-like material that is designed to delay/prevent a rise in temperature of spray foam insulation in exposed settings. In accordance with the Ontario Building Code (OBC), any exposed foamed plastic insulation materials must be covered in a thermal barrier.
“(2) Foamed plastic insulation; insulation having a flame-spread rating not more than 25 on any exposed surface or any surface that would be exposed by cutting through the material in any direction, is permitted in a building required to be of noncombustible construction provided the insulation is protected from adjacent space in the building, other than adjacent concealed spaces within wall assemblies, by a thermal barrier consisting of,
