Our Execution Process
Friction-Fit Placement
Neatly cutting batts around wiring and pipes to eliminate uninsulated voids and cold spots.

Vapour Barrier Inspection
Inspecting all penetrations and overlap seams with approved construction tape.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the best insulation for soundproofing between rental suites?
We recommend dense mineral wool batts (such as Rockwool Safe'n'Sound) installed between floor joists, combined with resilient channel and double drywall for maximum STC rating.
