Home Insulation
High quality insulation for the whole home and the needs therein.
Spray Foam for Home Insulation

Van Island Insulation offers spray foam insulation as an option including choices for closed cells weighing 2 lb and open cells weighing 12 lb for home insulation.
These forms of insulation limit mold formation and produce a continuous barrier, resulting in a more pleasant living environment.
Insulation and an air/vapor barrier in one, the two-pound closed-cell foam pack is an excellent choice for use on outside surfaces and ducting.
On the other hand, the open-cell foam weighing half a pound is excellent at acting as an air barrier and dampening sound transmission, but it does not serve as a vapor barrier.
Only environmentally friendly spray foams derived from renewable resources and have a minimal potential for global warming are utilized.
Blown In Installation for Homes

The narrow cavity pour foam insulation solution is beneficial for double brick and brick/block wall houses that do not have insulated spaces in between the bricks. This closed-cell foam weighs 2 pounds and has a high insulating value in addition to air barrier features and the ability to inhibit mold growth. It is inserted via internal holes.
