New home spray foam fills the walls, rim boards and roof of a house while the studs are still bare. That stage is the easiest time to build a tight, quiet, efficient home.
Every new build we foam is fully insured, and builders and owners get a written quote before work starts.
Foam seals air leaks at the source. Every outlet box, pipe, wire and window frame is a hole in the wall. Once the drywall is up, those holes are hidden and hard to reach.
Foam sprayed into open stud bays fills every gap around them. The house is sealed before the inside is finished.
Foam helps a house pass its blower door test. Ontario's building code now puts more weight on how airtight a house is, not only on R-values. A sealed shell makes that test easier to pass.
We work from the builder's drawings and the energy design for the house, and we match the foam thickness to what the drawings call for.
Foam can go in the walls, the rim joists, the basement walls and the roof. Rim joists are the most common place for foam in new homes, since they are hard to seal any other way.
Some builders use foam only at the rim and batts in the walls. Others foam everything. We price each option so you can compare.
New home spray foam suits custom homes on open rural lots, where wind hits the house from every side. Homes going up around Breslau, Conestogo and Maryhill often face open fields, and a sealed shell keeps drafts out on windy days. For more on foam types, see our closed cell spray foam page.
New home spray foam goes in once rough-ins for plumbing, electrical and heating are finished, ahead of the insulation inspection. We book into the builder's schedule and line up with the other trades, so the walls are ready when we arrive.
Spray day for an average house takes one to two days, and the foam cures quickly. Breslau subdivisions and rural custom builds both run on tight timelines, so we confirm dates in writing and call ahead the day before.
New home spray foam on walls usually runs $2.50 to $5 per square foot in Ontario. Phone (226) 407-7743 with your drawings for a written quote. Visit our spray foam insulation home page for our full list of services.
One trip down the lane often covers the farmhouse, the shop and the hog barn.
Pole barn spray foam insulation bonds to the roof steel and wall sheets of a post frame building, so frost and sweat have no cold face to form on. A single closed cell layer wraps the ribs and the girts.

Livestock barn spray foam insulation keeps the moisture from animals' breath off the roof and walls, so steel stays dry and rafters stay sound. Closed cell foam takes a pressure washer and gives pests no fluff to nest in.

Workshop spray foam lets you heat a steel shop or old drive shed and actually keep the heat. Foam across the walls and roof stops drafts and keeps warm air from escaping through bare sheeting.

Attic spray foam insulation plugs the leaks in a ceiling and adds R-value on the same trip. It suits century farmhouses, village homes and newer houses with awkward roof lines.

Basement spray foam turns a cold foundation into a warm, dry wall that is ready for studs. Closed cell foam grips block, stone and poured concrete alike.

Crawl space spray foam insulation coats the block walls and rim of a short crawl space, keeping the kitchen floor warm and the water lines thawed. Closed cell foam holds back ground moisture as well as cold air.

Garage spray foam stops the chill that seeps from a garage into the bedroom above it and the kitchen beside it. It also turns the garage into a warmer spot to work, park and store things.

Closed cell spray foam cures hard and dense, so one coat of it insulates, air seals and blocks water vapour together. We spray more of it on farm buildings, foundations and steel roofs than anything else.

A few details about the building are enough, and a call follows to fit a visit around milking or chores. Calls go to +1 (226) 407-7743.
