Insulation 101

The building envelope of your house, with its insulation, sealing and ventilation, forms a system – all of its parts are interconnected.

The basic principle of insulation is easy to summarize (but a little more difficult to apply): in order to protect your house’s structure against infiltration, you must make sure that there are no air leakages.

In other words, each component is important!

Achieving your desired comfort therefore involves careful planning and design. Bear in mind: you don’t get a second chance to start from scratch!

You will have important decisions to make, particularly in terms of:

  • The choice of insulation materials
  • How these materials are installed

Your decisions will have long-term and direct impacts on:

  • Your health
  • Your comfort
  • Heating and air conditioning costs
