New construction spray foam insulation seals and insulates a new house, addition or cottage while the framing is open, so the envelope is right once and never has to be opened again. Insurance covers the work, and we schedule around the framer, the electrician and the drywall crew.
New homes are going up across West Ridge, in the estate lots of Oro-Medonte and along the shores of Ramara and Severn, and additions are going onto older houses all over the city. Foam on an open frame reaches every corner that a batt crew misses, and it is inspected by depth before the drywall hides it.
A framed wall filled with batts insulates the middle of each stud bay well and the edges badly. The rim joist, the corners, the headers over windows, the cantilevers and the cathedral ceilings are where a new house actually leaks, and none of them take a batt well. Closed cell spray foam insulation fills every one of them to the sheathing, seals the air path and adds racking strength to the frame at the same time. The rest of the wall can then be filled with open cell foam, closed cell foam or a batt, depending on the budget and the target R-value.
Half the new builds around the lakes have a vaulted great room with the roof deck exposed above it. A vented cathedral ceiling in snow country is hard to get right and easy to get wrong, and the result is frost, drips and stained pine. Spray foam insulation sprayed to the underside of the roof deck makes an unvented roof that stays dry, meets the code depth in a shallower rafter, and never settles. It is the most common spray foam job on a new cottage in Orillia and the one where the product earns its price most clearly.
Ontario's code sets minimum effective R-values for attics, walls and basements in new work, and a builder can meet them with several combinations of products. Foam lets a standard two by six wall or a two by ten rafter hit the number without furring out the framing, and closed cell foam in the basement covers insulation and vapour control in one inspection. We work from the drawings, state the thickness for each assembly in the quote, and the depth gauge on the day confirms it.
The foam goes on after the rough-ins pass inspection and before the drywall is booked. A whole house is usually two days, an addition one. The space is ventilated while the foam cures and nobody works in it until it has, so we set the dates with the site supervisor rather than showing up between trades. Where the plans call for a thermal barrier over the foam, the drywall crew provides it, and we confirm that hand-off in writing.
Send the drawings or the address to our contact page, or call +1 (705) 805-5871, and we will quote the assemblies line by line. The closed cell and open cell page explains which product goes in which part of a new build, and the Orillia Spray Foam Insulation home page covers renovation work on finished houses.
The same closed cell and open cell spray foam insulation goes into every other part of the building.
Attic spray foam insulation seals the air leaks in the ceiling and insulates over them in one visit, which is what stops ice dams and bare roof stripes on Orillia houses. All of our work is fully insured, and the quote is written before anything is sprayed.

Basement spray foam insulation puts closed cell foam directly on the foundation wall, where it insulates, blocks vapour and seals the joint between concrete and wood in one product. The work is insured, and every basement quote names the thickness in writing.

Crawl space spray foam insulation seals the walls and the rim joist with closed cell foam, closes the vents and turns a cold, damp box under the floor into part of the heated house. Insurance covers the work, and the quote covers the ground sheet as well as the foam.

Garage spray foam insulation makes an attached garage stop pulling heat out of the house beside it and above it, and makes a detached garage usable all winter. The work is insured, and the quote separates the ceiling, the shared wall and the outside walls so you can choose what to do.

Closed cell and open cell spray foam insulation are two different products for two different jobs, and choosing the wrong one is the most common mistake we are called to fix around Orillia. All of our work is fully insured, and every quote names which product goes on which surface.

Insulation removal and replacement takes out foam that failed, or batts that got wet or were chewed through, and replaces them with foam installed properly. The work is insured, and we photograph what we remove so the quote shows why.

Cottage and waterfront spray foam insulation turns a seasonal building on Lake Simcoe, Lake Couchiching, Bass Lake or the Severn River into one that can be lived in through an Orillia winter. Insurance covers the work, and the quote is written in the order the work should be done so you can do it in stages.

Commercial, shop and pole barn spray foam insulation sprays closed cell foam straight onto the metal or wood skin of a building, which stops the condensation, stiffens the structure and makes the space possible to heat. The work is insured, and we quote by the square foot at a stated thickness.
View Commercial, Shop and Pole Barn InsulationWe come to the building, measure, and write the quote. There is no charge for the visit and no obligation to go ahead.
Describe the space as well as you can and we will phone to set the visit. The form sends with just a name and a number. If you would rather talk, call +1 (705) 805-5871.
