A. We use multiple suppliers, who all carry their preferred brand of insulation. Each brand tends to have its own colour, such as Pink for Owen’s Corning, or Yellow for CertainTeed.

Q. How do I know how much insulation is in my attic?
A. Code varies district to district, but for most of the Fraser Valley, R40 is blown or batted in attics. When blown in, R40 is 15” thick, but does settle over time, so a little less than that is nothing to worry about. Want to upgrade your attic?
