For over 28 years, Wheatland Roofing has been delivering professional insulation solutions tailored to the unique climate of Regina. As a BBB-accredited company, we combine expertise with precision, ensuring every job meets the highest standards. Our process incorporates advanced insulation materials like blown insulation and loose-fill insulation, expertly installed to create a tight seal against heat flow and humidity.
We focus on critical areas such as attic spaces, attic hatches, and wall cavities, addressing issues like condensation and air leaks. With techniques like installing air and vapour barriers and addressing recessed light fixtures, we prevent insulation gaps and enhance energy efficiency.
Blown-in insulation is a game-changer for energy efficiency, offering precise coverage that other methods often miss. This technique uses loose-fill materials like cellulose or fiberglass, filling every inch of attic floors, wall cavities, and hard-to-reach spaces. The result is a seamless air seal that minimizes heat loss and enhances airflow throughout the building.
By professionally installing insulation, we prevent cold spots, moisture buildup, and mold—common culprits behind water damage. For both older homes and commercial buildings, blown-in insulation is an excellent way to achieve consistent interior temperatures while reducing energy costs.
Cellulose, made from recycled paper treated with fire-retardant chemicals, offers exceptional coverage in tight spaces. It conforms effortlessly around obstacles like wires, recessed light fixtures, and vents. Its density reduces air movement, enhancing energy efficiency and limiting heat loss. With an R-value of about 3.5 per inch, cellulose is a practical choice for insulating irregular attic spaces and older homes where airflow gaps matter most.
Fiberglass, composed of spun glass fibers, is lightweight and widely used. Available in batts and loose-fill forms, it performs best in areas with straightforward layouts. Its R-value ranges from 2.2 to 2.7 per inch, making it ideal for walls and ceilings requiring uniform coverage. Fiberglass batts fit snugly between studs but require precise installation to avoid gaps.
Proper attic insulation is essential for managing heat flow and reducing energy costs. We install blown-in insulation, an efficient material that conforms to every nook, creating a tight seal. This minimizes air leakage and helps prevent ice dams during winter. With an R-value tailored to Regina's climate, our solutions ensure consistent comfort and energy savings year-round.
Blown-in insulation for exterior walls enhances a building's energy efficiency by filling wall cavities with a dense, effective barrier. This method reduces drafts and heat loss, while maintaining proper ventilation to prevent mold growth. Installed with precision, our techniques ensure insulation materials work seamlessly with your home's structure and vapour barrier systems, delivering lasting results.
Adding insulation to older homes can be a game changer for energy efficiency. Many older houses were built without modern insulation standards, leaving gaps in walls and attics that allow significant heat loss. These voids not only increase energy costs but can also lead to moisture buildup and even mold in certain areas.
Blown-in insulation is an excellent way to address these issues without major construction. Its loose-fill nature allows it to reach tight spaces, like wall cavities and attic floors, ensuring comprehensive coverage. Our team ensures every inch of insulation is properly sealed, especially around recessed light fixtures and attic hatches. This attention to detail prevents airflow leaks and maximizes the insulation’s effectiveness.
Selecting the right R-value is crucial for maintaining comfort and energy efficiency in any home. For regions with cold winters and fluctuating weather, like ours, an R-value of 40 to 60 for attic insulation is commonly recommended. This level ensures proper heat retention during frigid months while preventing excess heat buildup in warmer seasons.
The material used plays a significant role in achieving the optimal R-value. Blown-in insulation, especially loose-fill cellulose, efficiently fills gaps in attic spaces and around vents, forming a tight seal against heat loss. This type of insulation not only improves energy efficiency but also reduces long-term heating costs by up to 20%.
Energy efficiency begins with the way your home holds heat during cold seasons. Insulation acts as the barrier that prevents heat loss, especially in attic spaces and exterior walls. Blown-in insulation, with its excellent coverage, fills gaps and crevices that other materials might miss, creating a seamless thermal layer.
Using blown in insulation, including closed cell foam, we achieve a tight seal that reduces energy costs. Small but essential details, like sealing around recessed light fixtures and ensuring access to attic hatches, make all the difference. A professional installation includes adding or updating a new vapour barrier to combat moisture and prevent condensation, preserving the integrity of your house structure for years to come.
Ice dams are a silent menace, often forming when warm air escapes through poorly insulated or ventilated spaces, melting snow on the roof. Proper ventilation in the attic plays a crucial role in mitigating this problem. By allowing consistent airflow, excess heat and moisture are expelled, keeping attic insulation effective and dry. A well-ventilated attic paired with insulation like closed cell foam or blown-in solutions ensures a tight seal against heat loss.
We carefully inspect attic spaces, ensuring vents are free from obstructions and air pathways are optimized. Even small details, like sealing gaps around recessed light fixtures, contribute to preventing ice dams and protecting the integrity of the roof.
Moisture control is critical for maintaining the durability and efficiency of your home's insulation. Improper management of moisture can lead to mold growth, compromised air quality, and reduced energy performance. Installing a vapor barrier is an essential step in preventing these issues.
We focus on creating a tight seal that minimizes airflow while blocking moisture. Using materials like polyethylene sheeting or closed-cell foam, our team ensures the vapor barrier aligns seamlessly with insulation layers, protecting wall cavities and attic spaces.
This process also helps maintain consistent R-values, optimizing insulation performance while reducing energy costs.
Choosing the right professional for your insulation project can mean the difference between long-lasting comfort and recurring issues. Expertise matters most when dealing with Regina’s unique climate demands. A qualified contractor ensures your home remains energy-efficient, minimizing heat loss and preventing issues like ice dams or moisture build-up.
