Drafts aren’t the only issue. Without proper insulation, cold seeps through walls, leaving rooms chilly even with the heat on. This forces your furnace to run more often during winter.
Exterior insulation also enhances curb appeal and protects your home from moisture damage. It creates a more comfortable environment, even when strong winds hit the neighborhood.

Benefits of Exterior Insulation
When cold air gets into walls and around window frames, your heating system has to work harder. Exterior insulation creates a solid thermal barrier outside the sheathing. This stops heat loss before it reaches your living space.
Our teams attach rigid foam or mineral wool panels to your home’s exterior. They then cover these with a strong, weather-resistant layer. This keeps the building warmer, reduces thermal bridging, and stops chilly drafts for good.
Burke Mountain is at a higher elevation, where winter winds are stronger and temperatures drop lower than in the valley. An uninsulated exterior shell raises energy bills and lowers comfort.
Many homes here were built during the area’s growth in the 1990s and early 2000s, often with little exterior insulation. Upgrading now gives siding and trim a fresh look while helping the home keep heat effectively.
Material Choices for Burke Mountain
For Burke Mountain’s wet winters, we recommend using mineral wool and extruded polystyrene (XPS) instead of materials that absorb moisture. Mineral wool does not soak up water and keeps its thermal performance even when wet. XPS is strong and has low moisture absorption, making it good for areas exposed to rain and wind. Both materials are safe because they do not burn.
To install, we fasten rigid panels directly to the exterior sheathing with corrosion-resistant screws and large washers. We adjust the fastening pattern for Burke Mountain’s strong winds, placing screws closer together at the edges and corners of the panels. A weather-resistant barrier goes over the insulation, and we tape all seams to create a solid air and water control layer.
Putting insulation outside the sheathing moves the dew point outward. This keeps the structural framing warm and dry during Burke Mountain’s cold, damp winters. It helps prevent condensation inside the wall cavity, which often happens in homes that are not well insulated. The continuous insulation layer also stops thermal bridging through the studs, which can lead to heat loss in wood-framed buildings.
To handle wind-driven rain, we install a ventilated rainscreen over the insulation. This creates a space for moisture to drain and evaporate, protecting the insulation and sheathing. We also use flashing around windows, doors, and other openings to work with the weather-resistant barrier, directing water away and keeping the assembly dry during heavy wind.
Burke Mountain permit requirements
For a home in Burke Mountain, adding or changing exterior insulation is usually seen as an alteration to existing construction. The City of Coquitlam requires a building permit before starting this work. Homeowners should confirm permit requirements with the Building Permits Division if they plan changes to the exterior or walls.
Exterior insulation work that creates construction noise at a Burke Mountain home must be limited to 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Monday to Friday and 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. Saturday. Homeowners working on their own property may also do this work from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Sundays or holidays. However, construction for profit cannot create noise on Sundays or holidays unless a noise exemption permit is obtained.
When exterior insulation work in Burke Mountain is part of a larger development or construction project, the City’s Good Neighbour Development Policy requires the developer or contractor to follow all City bylaws. They must keep nearby streets clean of construction debris and send notification letters to neighbouring property owners about any upcoming work that may affect them.
