Core insulation — 7 residential services
Attic Insulation
Spray foam applied in attics across Central Alberta to reduce air leakage and heat loss between the living space and the roof cavity.
Wall Insulation
Spray foam insulation for wall cavities in new builds, renovations, and additions across Central Alberta, filling stud bays and hard-to-reach gaps in one application.
Floor Insulation
Spray foam applied to the underside of floors and subfloors over unheated space across Central Alberta, sealing gaps that let cold air and drafts into the living area above.
Crawl Space Insulation
Spray foam applied to crawl space walls and header areas across Central Alberta to reduce air leakage, moisture entry, and cold floors in the rooms above.
Rim Joist Insulation
Spray foam applied to the rim joist band around the foundation perimeter across Central Alberta — one of the most common air-leak locations in a house.
Garage Insulation
Spray foam insulation for garage walls and ceilings across Central Alberta, used to reduce air transfer between an attached garage and the rest of the house.
Basement Insulation
Spray foam insulation for basement walls across Central Alberta, applied to concrete or framed foundation walls to reduce air leakage and cold surfaces.
18 Specialty Service Lines.
Beyond the everyday work, NFW Sprayfoam & Insulation covers the jobs that take a specialist — commercial, industrial, and agricultural buildings, metal and shipping-container structures, net-zero and Passive House envelopes, and niche residential work like sound rooms and wine cellars.
Cathedral Ceiling Insulation
Closed-cell spray foam applied directly to the underside of a cathedral or vaulted roof deck, allowing a non-vented roof assembly without a separate vapour barrier.
New Construction Insulation
Spray foam insulation installed during the framing stage of a new home or building in Central Alberta, before drywall closes in the wall and ceiling cavities.
Net-Zero & Passive House Insulation
Spray foam applied as part of a high-performance building envelope for net-zero or Passive House-style new construction, targeting continuous air sealing and reduced thermal bridging.
Sound Room / Acoustic Insulation
Spray foam applied to walls, ceilings, and floors to air-seal a room and reduce the transfer of airborne sound through gaps, cracks, and stud cavities.
Wine Cellar Insulation
Spray foam insulation for wine cellars, applied to walls and ceilings to help maintain a stable temperature and humidity level separate from the rest of the building.

What Is Spray Foam?
An explainer on what spray polyurethane foam (SPF) is, how open-cell and closed-cell foam differ, and how it compares to fibreglass insulation.
Shipping Container Insulation
Spray foam applied to the interior of shipping containers across Central Alberta to reduce condensation and temperature swings for storage or conversion projects.
Metal Building Insulation
Spray foam applied directly to the interior of metal and steel-frame buildings across Central Alberta to reduce condensation on the panel surface and air leakage through seams.
Cold Storage & Warehouse Insulation
Spray foam insulation for cold storage rooms and warehouse buildings, applied to walls, ceilings, and loading areas to reduce heat transfer and condensation.
Commercial Roof Coatings
Commercial roof coatings and repair systems applied over existing roofing or spray foam roof insulation to address leaks and extend the service life of the roof surface.
Industrial Insulation
Spray foam insulation for warehouses, shops, processing facilities, and other industrial buildings across Central Alberta, applied to walls, ceilings, and roof decks.
High-Temp Industrial Insulation
Insulation for industrial tanks and process piping, applied to help manage heat loss and surface condensation in mechanical and process systems.
No detail page yet — call (403) 350-2720 and we will talk it through directly.
Agricultural Insulation
Spray foam insulation for Quonset huts, pole barns, and other agricultural buildings, applied to curved steel or wood-frame structures to reduce condensation and heat loss.
Vapour Blasting
Vapour blasting (wet abrasive blasting) to remove rust, paint, and surface contaminants from metal, concrete, and equipment ahead of coating or repainting.

What the Code Asks For Here.
Red Deer sits in Climate Zone 7A, at 5 550 heating degree days below 18 °C, with January design temperatures of −32 °C at the 2.5% level and −35 °C at 1% (NECB 2020, Table C-1). Those figures set every number below. Alberta adopted both the 2023 Alberta edition of the building code and NECB 2020 at Tier 1 only, and under AR 5/2024 a municipality cannot require more.
- Ceilings below attics
- Effective RSI 10.43 (R-59.2) without an HRV, RSI 8.67 (R-49.2) with one — Tables 9.36.2.6.-A and -B.
- Above-ground walls
- Effective RSI 3.08 (R-17.5), or RSI 2.97 (R-16.9) with an HRV. Rim joists take the same figure under Sentence 9.36.2.6.(2).
- Cathedral ceilings & floors over unheated space
- Effective RSI 5.02 (R-28.5), unchanged whether or not there is an HRV.
- Foundation walls
- Effective RSI 3.46 (R-19.7) from Table 9.36.2.8.-A; slabs with an integral footing RSI 3.72 (R-21.1); heated floors RSI 2.84 (R-16.1).
- Commercial & industrial (NECB)
- Walls at maximum U 0.215 (about R-26.4 effective), roofs 0.121 (about R-46.9), floors 0.138 — far above the Part 9 house next door.
- Vapour barrier
- 60 ng/(Pa·s·m²) dry cup at Article 9.25.4.2. Closed-cell foam meets it at 50 mm; open-cell never does.
The full set, with the clause each figure comes from, is in the Alberta code compliance guide. Two related questions come up on nearly every job: what Alberta actually requires of an air barrier (the 0.02 figure quoted across the industry is not in Alberta’s 9.25.3.2), and how thick closed-cell foam has to be to be the vapour barrier. For work booked in the cold months, published substrate temperature limits sit below Alberta’s design cold, which is why enclosure and heat are engineering rather than an extra.
