New Construction Insulation in Ottawa

Insulating the Whole Envelope Before It Closes In

New construction insulation is a different job than a retrofit. There is no existing material to work around, no drywall to protect, and the whole envelope is open at once, but there is also a framing and drywall schedule to hit. Ontario’s building code (SB-12, in force under the 2024 OBC) sets minimum thermal resistance targets for Climate Zone 6, which covers Ottawa: R-60 in attics, R-22 in exterior walls, and R-20 in basement walls. On a new build or addition, our job is matching material and depth to those targets across the whole envelope, coordinated with your framing timeline rather than scheduled around it.

New construction insulation is priced by square footage and the material spec across the whole project, not a single flat number, since a full-envelope job varies a lot between an addition and a full new build. Send us your plans or spec sheet and we will confirm pricing after reviewing the scope.

Ottawa Insulation Experts provides professional new construction insulation throughout Ottawa, Ontario. We work with builders and renovators to insulate the full building envelope, attic, exterior walls, basement, and rim joists, before drywall closes everything in. Every project is matched to Ontario's SB-12 code targets for Climate Zone 6 and coordinated with your framing schedule, using batt, blown-in, and spray foam insulation depending on the assembly.
