That persistent chill means your furnace runs more often, driving up energy costs. Even in newer homes, poorly insulated walls let warmth escape. This insulation stops heat loss at the source.
In summer, this upgrade keeps your home cooler during heat waves. It creates a thermal barrier that reduces outside noise and protects your siding from moisture damage. In our damp coastal climate, that protection makes a difference.

Warmth and Comfort
Cold exterior walls mean your home is losing heat. Exterior Insulation covers your house with a thermal blanket. This stops drafts before they reach your living space.
We put rigid foam or mineral wool panels right onto the existing sheathing. Then, we add a weather-resistant barrier and new siding. This stops the thermal bridges that let heat escape. You will enjoy a quieter home and lower energy bills.
Many older homes in Glenbrooke North do not have enough insulation for our wet, chilly winters. Adding exterior insulation keeps warmth in and damp out, making your home more comfortable.
Our coastal humidity and frequent rain need a rainscreen approach. Exterior insulation with a drainage plane protects your siding and structure from moisture damage. This helps your home stay dry and efficient.
Installation Techniques
In Glenbrooke North, we attach rigid mineral wool or closed-cell foam boards directly to the outside of homes. Mineral wool allows vapor to pass through, helping the wall dry out, which is important for our wet coastal climate. High-density EPS foam is often used when budget and thermal resistance match, with staggered joints to reduce heat loss.
We cover the insulation with a weather-resistant barrier, making sure to tape overlaps and openings well. We create a drained and ventilated gap with furring strips before putting on the new siding. This gap helps moisture drain and air circulate, which prevents rot behind the siding.
For windows and doors, we use flexible flashing that works with the weather-resistant barrier, layering it to shed water effectively. Insulation boards are cut to fit snugly against the framing, and we use low-expansion foam to seal any small gaps, ensuring a solid thermal barrier without voids.
In Glenbrooke North’s coastal climate, exterior insulation moves the dew point outward, keeping the original sheathing warm enough to prevent condensation. Continuous insulation around the entire wall stops heat loss at studs and plates, which are common weak spots in older wood-frame homes.
A ventilated rainscreen cavity creates a drainage plane that protects the wall from wind-driven rain. This setup allows any water that gets behind the siding to drain and evaporate, instead of soaking the sheathing repeatedly.
To fasten through thicker insulation, we use long screws with special washers that stop thermal buckling and resist pulling out in our windy conditions. Proper sequencing at the bottom of walls ensures moisture is directed out through a weepscreen, keeping it from getting trapped against the foundation.
Glenbrooke North insulation regulations
The BC Building Code energy efficiency requirements, as administered by the City of New Westminster, set minimum thermal insulation values and a continuous air barrier for exterior walls. Your exterior insulation system in Glenbrooke North must be designed and installed to meet or exceed those RSI targets. This must be documented on your permit forms and envelope drawings.
If your exterior insulation is part of a larger renovation that requires a building permit, New Westminster’s residential permit process requires plans showing insulation and air barrier details along with thermal calculations. You will also need an insulation and vapor barrier inspection before wallboard or paneling is applied. The insulation checklist must be submitted, and the exterior sheathing must be protected beforehand.
For many substantial renovations in New Westminster, including projects that significantly upgrade exterior insulation in Glenbrooke North, the BC Energy Step Code may apply. You may need to work with an energy advisor, submit pre-construction and as-built energy model reports with your permit, and complete pre-drywall and final air-tightness testing. This ensures the installed insulation meets the required energy step and air leakage targets for final approval.
