Attic Insulation For Pickering Homes
Spray Foam In Attics
Enhancing your attic insulation is a highly effective way to boost your home’s energy efficiency. Spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is an ideal solution for new installations, retrofits, weatherization, and air sealing in both vented and unvented attics.
According to Government of Canada Studies, sealing cracks and air gaps around your home—many of which are common in attics—can save up to 20% on your monthly energy bills.
A poorly sealed attic not only wastes heating and cooling energy but also drains your finances.
At Pickering Spray Foam Pros, our skilled technicians can replace outdated or ineffective insulation with high-performance SPF or enhance your existing attic insulation by sealing gaps around leaky ductwork, stud joints, flues, and fixtures.

Why Spray Foam Is The Right Choice For Attics In Pickering
The attic is where your home’s inside and outside worlds clash, with a mix of joints, sharp roof angles, and hidden seams. Throw in the HVAC ducts, vents, and electrical wires weaving through to your living areas and poking through the exterior walls, insulating it right becomes a tricky job. At Pickering Spray Foam Pros, we love tackling these challenges. Our crew gets attics like nobody’s business, using top-notch spray foam to seal every gap and insulate every corner, keeping your home comfy, energy-smart, and shielded from the weather.
Spray foam’s ability to expand up to thirty times its original liquid volume makes it perfect for tackling the odd nooks and crannies often found in attics. It’s the go-to solution for sealing tricky spots like:
- Attic access hatches
- Spaces behind knee walls
- Holes from wiring
- Plumbing vent penetrations
- Nail holes in roof decking
- Open soffits on exterior walls
- Areas around recessed lights, furnace flues, or HVAC ducts
With its remarkable expanding power, spray foam effortlessly fills these irregular gaps and crevices, ensuring a tight, reliable seal and delivering top-notch, long-lasting insulation.
For Vented Attics
The ideal solution for vented attics.
If your vented attic sits outside your home’s sealed thermal envelope, you might assume air leaks aren’t a concern. But in reality, you’re likely losing a ton of conditioned air through weak seals between your living spaces and the attic.
The joints at the attic’s top plate and around access hatches are often poorly finished by drywall crews, allowing warm air to sneak into your unconditioned attic during colder months without you noticing.
Most folks know escaping cold air in summer spikes energy bills, but in Pickering's freezing winters, a poorly insulated attic can hit your wallet just as hard. The air trapped under your roof often gets much hotter than the outdoor air, so leaks between your living space and attic can be like leaving a window wide open! At Pickering Spray Foam Pros,
we’ll track down and seal these sneaky gaps, keeping your hard-earned money from slipping away through a poorly insulated vented attic.
For Finished Attics
If you’re building a new home or planning to transform your existing attic into livable or storage space, incorporating spray foam insulation in your attic conditioning system can slash energy costs significantly.
Architects often tuck HVAC ducting into attics to free up space elsewhere, but in a vented attic, those ducts are exposed to outdoor temperatures. This makes your HVAC system have to work harder to keep your home comfortable.
Upgrading your current attic insulation with spray polyurethane foam (SPF) can lighten the load on your HVAC system while also creating more usable space in your home.
SPF is perfect for insulating behind knee walls and drop ceilings in finished attics, and it can also be applied directly under roof decking and between roof joists to bring your attic within your home’s thermal envelope.
For new builds, designing a conditioned attic with spray polyurethane foam insulation can let you downsize your HVAC system by up to 35%, saving you hundreds or even thousands of dollars before your home faces its first Pickering season.
