Don’t heat the outside: insulate your home well and reduce your heating bills!
In Gatineau, as well as in Ottawa and all of the cities in the Outaouais region, CPO INSOLATION offers residential and commercial insulation services. We can: insulate the walls, floors, ceilings, attic and attic spacers that are not yet insulated; replace inadequate insulation with new insulation; or add new insulation on top of existing insulation.
We add the necessary quantity of insulation to effectively increase the thermal resistance level (R-Value). As well, your home or business will respect the recommended government norms in terms of energy efficiency. Your comfort will be greatly improved!
If rodents or raccoons have damaged or displaced the insulation present in your attic, we can replace the displaced insulation, removing the damaged insulation and adding more. We can also do the decontamination of your attic.
To insulate your home or business, we use 2 proven materials: blown cellulose and blown fiberglass insulation . These insulators are used in the attic and spacers. For insulation of walls, suspended ceilings or floors, we utilize fiberglass or cellulose in flexible panels. Our personalized service will adapt to the situation of each of our clients.
The R-value is the coefficient of the level of thermal resistance of a material. The higher the R-value, the more the insulation resists the penetration of winter cold or summer heat. This value depends on the properties of the insulation, its thickness and the quality of the installation.
To increase the R-value, all that is required is adding more inches of insulation. Blown fiberglass insulation has a R-value of 3 for every inch added, while blown cellulose has a R-value of 3.7 for each additional inch.
New construction homes in the territory of Quebec must follow the insulation requirements of the building code, which determines the minimum R-value necessary to obtain a good thermal resistance. The following diagram shows the R-values to respect for each room of the house.
