Products and Materials

Whether you're doing the work yourself or hiring a contractor, it's important to know the right materials for your particular job. If you choose the right materials and install them properly, the finished product will live up to your expectations.

Three types of materials are used for keeping the heat in: insulation, air-barrier materials and vapour-barrier materials. Refer to information that deals specifically with your project and use it to choose the most appropriate materials.
