For homeowners shopping around for basement insulation in Toronto, there are a number of things to consider. Beyond the project budget, the two main concerns are which product to install and which installation company to contract. Here, it’s valuable for a homeowner to be somewhat informed, so that project decisions are incisive. With basement insulation, every contractor will claim to have the “best” installation, while every manufacturer will claim the “best” product. For the homeowner it can be confusing rather than informative.
When installing basement insulation, industry professionals are opting for Spray Foam Insulation as the best approach. It’s a highly specialized application, using special equipment, and requiring specific product expertise. The SFI product is applied throughout a given space as thick foam. It quickly hardens, and creates an insulating “blanket” that seals and insulates at the same time. When installed as basement insulation, SFI performs as a combination air barrier, vapor barrier, and insulator – it’s just ideal for a space like the basement.
For EcoStar Insulation, a basement insulation project isn’t just about installing insulation. This is about treating the basement as a “system” – blocking airflow, preventing moisture collection, and ensuring proper ventilation. With the basement, the priorities are as important as any other part of the home: proper sealing; proper insulation; and proper ventilation. With basement insulation, EcoStar installation teams work according to the building code, and according to manufacturer’s specifications. The project is done right the first time.
Whether it’s attic insulation or basement insulation, the focus for EcoStar is to satisfy the needs of the homeowner. Basement insulation products are recommended according to the size and scope of the project, and with a view on the long-term performance of the install. Importantly, EcoStar is dedicated to the highest quality of installation, with product warranties and a money-back company guarantee. Even after the project has been completed, EcoStar will provide post-installation service to ensure full customer satisfaction.
In Toronto, EcoStar Insulation installs numerous brand name spray foam products. Ideal for basement insulation, these products satisfy the strict standards of the National Building Code of Canada, as well as the Canadian Construction Material Centre. Around the industry, Spray Foam Insulation is considered the best product for the job, delivering maximum energy efficiency and home comfort throughout the entire home. No other product compares with SFI, and no other installation will deliver the long-term performance.
When it comes to basement insulation, the SFI application does it all with one install – it seals a given space totally airtight – it provides very high R-Values per installed inch – and it enhances structural strength wherever installed. And while SFI is regarded as a premium installation, the substantial energy savings in winter and summer will serve to “pay down” the original project cost. All things considered, this is one of the most cost effective approaches for homeowners who are seriously planning their basement insulation.
For the team at EcoStar Insulation, providing the best quality products and the highest standard of workmanship is the ultimate formula for customer satisfaction. In short, it pays to do it right.
