Canwel Header
With summer coming to an end, it’s time to switch our focus to making our homes as warm and cozy as possible. There’s no better time than now to complete the interior projects on your list this fall.
Insulation header
An under-insulated home will experience substantial heat loss and gain throughout the year. Sealing leaks and adding high quality CertainTeed insulation benefits homeowners in several ways:
  • Improves comfort with fewer drafts and hot and cold spots 
  • Lowers energy bills year-round for the life of the home 
  • Helps ensure performance of HVAC systems 
  • Provides potentially higher resale value 
  • Protects roofs against winter ice dams
Insulate when you renovate 
The best and easiest time to insulate is when you are planning to rip out a wall. While the walls are open, it is the optimal time to take a look at insulation levels.

Add insulation to an attic 
Adding insulation to a home’s attic is the easiest and most cost-effective way to improve energy efficiency and reduce utility bills.

InsulSafe XC fiberglass blowing insulation is designed for thermal protection and noise reduction. It’s ideal for open area attics as it creates a custom uniform blanket that fills all of the nooks and crannies where heat can escape. 

Use Sustainable Insulation in wall cavities, cathedral and garage ceilings, attics and crawlspaces. Insulation batts must be a snug fit into the cavity to ensure proper thermal and acoustical performance.

A tremendous amount of energy is lost through poor air sealing thus increasing home energy costs. MemBrain™ Air Barrier helps mitigate these expenses by creating a continuous airtight seal along the interior of the building envelope.
MemBrain™ is ideal for any area where the home cools in the summer and heats in the winter.
