LIVE SMART, LIVE COMFY

Reasons to live in an insulated home?

Leading edge insulation is always ready to help

Increased Comfort

An insulated home ensures a consistent temperature throughout the living spaces. During winters, insulation acts as a barrier, preventing the cold from seeping in and the heat from escaping. Conversely, in summers, it keeps the scorching heat out, helping interiors remain cool. This consistent climate inside the house results in unparalleled comfort, no matter the external weather conditions.


High Energy Bills as a Result of Poor Insulation

Without proper insulation, homes are prone to lose their conditioned air more rapidly. In colder months, this means your heating system works overtime to maintain a warm temperature, and in warmer months, your cooling system has to run frequently to keep the house cool. Both scenarios result in higher energy consumption, leading to elevated energy bills. An insulated home, on the other hand, retains its conditioned air more effectively, thus saving on energy costs.


Sound Pollution

Insulation isn't just about temperature control; it also offers soundproofing benefits. High-quality insulation acts as a barrier to external noises, ensuring that the hustle and bustle of the outside world, be it traffic, construction, or loud neighbors, doesn't disturb the peace of your home. This is especially beneficial in urban and densely populated areas where noise pollution can be a significant concern.


Moisture Can Make You Sick

Insulation plays a crucial role in controlling moisture levels inside the home. A poorly insulated house can lead to condensation build-up on walls and ceilings, which in turn can result in mold growth. Mold and damp environments are not only detrimental to the house's structure but also pose health risks, including respiratory problems, allergies, and other illnesses. By ensuring proper insulation, moisture and mold issues can be significantly mitigated.

A Non-insulated House Increases the Carbon Footprint

Homes that aren't insulated adequately require more energy for heating and cooling, leading to higher greenhouse gas emissions. By insulating your home, you're directly reducing the amount of energy you consume, which translates to a decrease in harmful emissions. Thus, an insulated house is not just beneficial for the occupants but is also a step towards a more sustainable and environmentally-friendly world.

Resell Value Will Be Higher

Homebuyers today are increasingly informed and aware of the benefits of energy efficiency. An insulated home stands out in the property market, offering potential buyers the promise of reduced energy bills, enhanced comfort, and all the other benefits mentioned above. Consequently, homes with quality insulation often command a higher resale value compared to those lacking it.

What's The Best Insulation

For Your Project?

Spray foam insulation is a two-component mixture composed of isocyanate and polyol resin. When combined, they react and expand up to 30-60 times their liquid volume, filling all cavities and crevices. There are two primary types: open-cell and closed-cell spray foam, each having its distinct characteristics and advantages. At Leading Edge Insulation Victoria, we install spray foam insulation for its exceptional air-sealing properties and high R-value per inch. We meticulously apply it to eliminate gaps, ensuring a continuous and airtight thermal barrier. Given its versatile nature, we use spray foam for a variety of applications, from wall cavities to hard-to-reach areas, offering homes and businesses both thermal insulation and a robust moisture barrier.

Fiberglass insulation, known for its signature pink or yellow fluffy appearance, is made from fine strands of glass woven into a mat. It's non-flammable, non-absorbent, and resistant to mould growth. Available in rolls or batts, fibreglass is often used in walls, attics, and between floors to insulate against sound and temperature. We know which application is best for the use of fibreglass insulation. We ensure that it's installed without any gaps or compressions, maximizing its effectiveness. We choose fiberglass for its affordability, ease of installation, and its ability to fit standard stud and joist spacing, providing a time-tested insulation solution for our clients.

Blown-in insulation, often made from cellulose, fiberglass, or mineral wool, is pneumatically injected into spaces using specialized equipment. This method ensures a seamless fill, conforming around ducts, wires, and other obstacles, creating a uniform insulation layer. Blown-in insulation is particularly suited for retrofitting older homes, as it can be introduced without much invasive work. At Leading Edge here in Victoria, we use blown-in insulation for its adaptability and extensive coverage. Our insulation installers, equipped with advanced blowing machines, ensure an even and dense application, perfect for attics, walls, and hard-to-reach spaces. We often recommend this solution for its quick installation process and for enhancing the insulation levels in existing buildings without the need for extensive remodelling.

We are ready to tackle any job!

What kind of home insulation project

do you have on the go?

Leading Edge Insulation Victoria is committed to transforming each home or business with precision and expertise. Our installation approach guarantees that every project, regardless of its scale, realizes its full energy-saving and comfort-enhancing potential.

best kind of insulation material for victoria bc fiberglass vs spray foam

Attics are often one of the primary sources of energy loss in homes due to the natural rise of warm air. Proper insulation here is paramount to prevent heat transfer, whether it’s escaping in the winter or entering during the summer. Leading Edge Insulation Victoria recognizes the unique challenges posed by attic spaces. Our team conducts thorough assessments to determine the best insulation material and method. From ensuring proper ventilation to prevent moisture issues, to selecting and installing the right insulation material, we ensure that your attic becomes an energy-saving powerhouse.

Exterior walls act as the primary barrier against outdoor elements. Properly insulating your walls can drastically improve a home’s energy efficiency, reducing both heating and cooling costs. At Leading Edge Insulation Victoria, we install insulation to properly insulate exterior walls without causing major disruptions. Our insulation contractors can recommend the most effective insulation material based on your home’s construction and your specific needs. With our guidance, exterior wall insulation becomes a smooth and rewarding project.

Basements can be tricky to insulate due to their underground nature, often being damp and cold. However, a well-insulated basement can significantly contribute to a home's overall thermal efficiency. Leading Edge Insulation Victoria specializes in installing basement insulation, ensuring not just thermal comfort but also moisture control. By using the right vapour barriers and insulation materials, we transform basements from cold, damp spaces into warm, functional areas, enhancing both comfort and property value.

Whether attached or detached, garages can significantly influence the energy efficiency of a home. While many overlook this space, insulating a garage can prevent cold drafts and also make the space more usable year-round. We approach garage insulation installations with care and professionalism. We evaluate the walls, ceiling, and even the garage door, providing custom insulation solutions that ensure maximum energy savings and transform your garage into a comfortable space for whatever you use it for, be it storage, a workshop, or even a home gym.

Often neglected, crawlspaces can be a source of cold drafts and moisture problems if not insulated correctly. Insulating and sealing crawlspaces prevent mould growth, pests, and energy loss. Leading Edge offers specialized crawlspace insulation services. We ensure that the area is free from moisture issues before installing the insulation and provide expert guidance on the best materials to use, given the specific conditions of the crawlspace. Our attention to detail ensures a healthier and more energy-efficient home foundation.

Things To Keep In Mind When Talking Insulation


Insulation materials can either be categorized as conductive, radiant, or convective. Most of the materials work by creating tiny air cavities among molecules to reduce heat. However, some materials don’t produce air cavities, such as reflective thermal insulation. 


Instead of creating an air cavity, it uses a metal foil to create a radiation barrier. Keep in mind that the metal foils must be attached on both sides of the wall to be effective.


Another type of insulation that does not create an air cavity is vacuum insulation. Vacuum insulated walls can stop both conduction and convection heat transfer. When you choose this style, keep in mind that the effectiveness will depend on the area of vacuum panels.

SPRAY FOAM INSULATION

Attics - Basements - Garages - Walls - Ceilings

Installing spray foam and insulating foam sealants have many benefits above just its insulating purpose. It is very effective at sealing gaps and cavities while creating an air, moisture, and vapour barrier. It is made by mixing reactive liquid components that expands to create a foam. We install spray foam to help our clients meet these many insulative requirements in one single step. It's a cost effective investment for residential and commercial businesses looking to install insulation that will last for years to come.


Our insulation contractors are proud to offer spray foam services in Victoria, BC and across Vancouver Island. We live in a highly humid location that can easily infiltrate our buildings. By installing spray foam, we can limit air movement and infiltration from outside and throughout the building. With our clients' needs at the forefront, we help reduce energy usage, and limit allergens and pollutants, while making their space more comfortable. We offer the three main types of spray foam insulation to ensure our clients see the benefits they are looking for. These three types of spray foam and installation methods are high-density, medium-density, and low-density.

HIGH-DENSITY SPRAY FOAM

Building Exteriors & Roofing Insulation

Choosing to install high-density spray foam is a great choice for building exteriors including roofing applications. It's a closed-cell foam with an R-value starting at 5.5 per inch which indicates its resistance to heat flow. With a higher R-value, you'll experience greater insulation power for your space. Our insulation company has trained our installers to help you choose high-density spray foam and using it for your roofing to significantly reduce your energy costs.

MEDIUM-DENSITY SPRAY FOAM

Interior Walls & Attic Insulation

Similar to high-density spray foam, medium-density spray foam has a high R-value, starting at 5.7 per inch. This makes it the best insulation installation for your attic and interior walls. It fills wall cavities making it beneficial to Victoria buildings by acting as an air, vapour, and water barrier that also reduces noise. With its high tensile and bond strength, it provides low vapour permanence increasing its effectiveness against moisture during wind-driven rains.

LOW-DENSITY SPRAY FOAM

Interior Walls & Unvented Attics

Low-density spray foam has an R-value that starts at 3.6 per inch. This makes it the ideal choice for your interior wall cavities and unvented attics. It differs from high and medium-density spray foam by being an open-cell foam. It provides an air-sealing barrier as a continuous insulation material. The open cell structure of low-density spray foam allows it to stay soft and flexible after curing. It seals airflow by filling cavities between cracks, joints, and seams.

FIBERGLASS INSULATION

Attics - Basements - Garages - Walls - Ceilings

We install fiberglass insulation for residential homeowners, commercial properties and industrial businesses in Victoria and across Vancouver Island. We supply it as a cost effective solution for building owners and managers to save a few dollars. Our insulation company can be contracted to install fiberglass insulation including batt and roll, loose-fill, blown-in, rigid boards, and duct insulation. We work with building owners to help them decide with type of fiberglass insulation is right for their property at its intended application.


At Leading Edge Insulation, we strive to deliver the best insulation services in Victoria by keeping property owners in the know about which types of insulation are available to them. Through the quoting process, we establish where the insulation will be installed, why and which is the best fit for its use. We provide open communication, and upfront estimates that will leave you feeling confident in hiring our team for your insulation services. Our insulation contractors are keen to provide your space with the R-value it needs for effective insulation, energy efficiency, soundproofing and additional acoustical properties. With our installers, you'll get the right fiberglass insulation for your walls, floors, ceilings, and attic.

BATT AND ROLL INSULATION

Fiberglass Insulation

Batt and roll insulation can come in various materials. With fiberglass batt and roll insulation, we commonly install this in interior walls, floors, and ceilings. It fits well between studs, joists, and beams making it quick and easy for our insulation contractors to install. It's relatively low cost to install and is suited best for standard spaced joists and studs. Unfinished basements will do well to cover foundational walls with fiberglass batt and roll insulation.

LOOSE-FILL INSULAITON

Fiberglass Insulation

We install loose-fill fiberglass insulation, also referred to as blown-in insulation. Loose-fill insulation can also be made of cellulose or mineral wool. With fiberglass insulation, we recommend this for enclosed interior walls, unfinished attic floors, and other hard to reach locations. Our installers are equipped to easily blow in fibreglass insulation to oddly shaped spaces, existing finished areas and around obstructions that make it difficult to install other styles of insulation.

RIGID FIBER INSULATION

Fiberglass Insulation

Ideal for HVAC contractors, in commercial and industrial applications requiring insulation with high temperatures. It's ideal for ducts in unconditioned spaces and locations requiring high insulative properties. Rigid fiber or fibrous insulation applications are highly specific, so ask the team at our insulation company today about if this style of fiberglass insulation is needed for your project. Shops and job sites are the most common locations for this insulation style.

OTHER INSULATION MATERIALS

Attics - Basements - Garages - Walls - Ceilings

BATT AND ROLL INSULATION

Mineral Wool, Plastic & Natural Fibers

Batt and roll insulation are made of fibres made from mineral wool, plastic, natural, or fiberglass that fit between studs and joists due to their standard width design. We install all 4 varieties of batt and roll insulation in Victoria and across Vancouver Island. With our contractor services, you'll be thankful you picked our team.

REFLECTIVE SYSTEMS

Foil-faced Kraft Paper & More

Foil-faced kraft paper, polyethylene bubbles, cardboard, or plastic film reflective systems are ideal to use on unfinished walls, floors and ceilings. Films, foils, and papers are fitted between joists, wood-frame, studs, rafters and beams to prevent downward heat flow. Depending on the number of foils we install will determine the level of effectiveness.

RIGID BOARD INSULATION

Polystyrene & Polyurethane

For unfinished walls, such as basement foundations, we install rigid board insulation to provide high insulating value where it's needed most. The boards are thin but are highly effective at insulating. When installed in exterior applications, they must be covered with a weatherproof facing to protect them.

victoria insulation removal services

INSULATION REMOVAL

Residential, Commercial & Industrial

We remove insulation for residents and business owners in Victoria and across Vancouver Island. While sometimes simply replacing one section of insulation may be the answer, it's important to know that insulation doesn't last forever. If your insulation is still new enough, it may be viable to replace a small section during a repair, retrofit or renovation project. However, when you have an older building, it's often more cost-effective to remove all the old insulation and install new insulation to limit varying heat loss and gains throughout the building. With new advances in technology, insulation has improved over the years. Removing old or compromised insulation allows you to invest in installing new insulation that will improve energy efficiency and reduce air loss. Our insulation company is dedicated to improving sustainability and comfort within your building. Ask us today about our insulation removal services and what we recommend for your home or business.
