Ceiling Spray Foam Insulation in Mississauga
Insulating between conditioned and unconditioned space
Ceilings between a heated space and an unconditioned area above or below, such as a garage, a cold cellar, or an unheated addition, need insulation the same way exterior walls do, since heat moves through them in the same way. This is a different application than attic insulation, which insulates at the roofline or attic floor above the top storey of living space. Explore our residential spray foam insulation services for related applications and service areas.
Common ceiling insulation scenarios
- The ceiling of an attached garage, where a room sits above it
- The ceiling over an unheated basement or cold cellar
- The ceiling between a heated addition and an unheated space beside or below it
What the job involves
Access usually comes from below, through the unconditioned space, rather than from inside the living area above. Foamworks confirms access and existing insulation conditions during the quote, since ceiling jobs vary more in approach than a straightforward attic or wall job.
Why this gets missed in original construction
Builders sometimes insulate the perimeter walls of a garage but skip the ceiling below a room above it, on the assumption that the room’s own floor covering provides enough of a barrier. It usually doesn’t. Foamworks sees this gap most often in homes built with a bonus room, home office, or bedroom over an attached garage, where the homeowner notices the room runs noticeably colder than the rest of the house.
