Attic Insulation
Alongside roofing, Strong Arm Roofing installs Owens Corning pink fibreglass blown-in attic insulation — bringing older attics up to today’s R-60 standard and cutting monthly heating and cooling costs.
Why attic insulation matters
Most homes lose far more heat through the attic than owners realize. The numbers make the case for topping up.
Meeting today’s R-60 building standard
As of January 1, 2017, the provincial government mandated a minimum value of R-60 for attic insulation — roughly 22.25 inches. The previous building code equated to 18 inches, and before that, 12 inches.
In most 15-to-20-year-old homes, the 12 inches originally installed has settled to about 9 to 10 inches. That leaves you significantly short of the 22.25 inches required to meet today’s standards, costing you an extra 20 to 30% on your monthly heating and cooling bills.
Owens Corning pink fibreglass, blown in
We use Owens Corning pink fibreglass blown-in insulation — the same trusted brand behind the shingles we install. Blown-in insulation fills gaps and settles evenly across the attic floor for consistent coverage.
Topping up your attic is one of the most cost-effective upgrades a homeowner can make, and it pairs naturally with a roof replacement while the crew is already on site.
How an insulation top-up works
Adding attic insulation is quick and non-disruptive — most of the work happens in the attic.
What our customers say
We used Strong Arm Roofing to replace our roof last year. Bobby was great to deal with and the pricing was competitive. The crew were friendly, professional and tidy, and the roof looks great! We would definitely recommend Strong Arm to our friends and neighbours!
Strong Arm are very professional and responsive to your needs. Prior to starting, Bobby came out to see if the windstorms created damage last year so that we didn’t have to worry until they came to do the roof in the spring. Top notch in communication and responsiveness. Always willing to answer your questions. Great job!
Came when promised, worked quickly, cleaned up everything when finished and did a great job on the roof! Great experience and great to deal with — thanks Bobby! Highly recommended.
