Cold walls create bigger issues

Even after fixing drafts, poorly insulated exterior walls can let moisture into the wall assembly over time. In a wet climate, trapped moisture damages sheathing and framing long before you notice it.

Homeowners here are also considering exterior insulation for older homes with aging siding. Upgrading both at once wraps the house in insulation before new cladding goes on, improving energy performance and enhancing curb appeal.

Solution for drafty walls

Exterior insulation wraps your home like a warm blanket. It stops outside air from sneaking through gaps and keeps heated air inside. This is the same method we use for insulation in Vancouver and nearby areas.

The key is sealing the entire outside before adding new siding. This blocks moisture at the source and helps your walls stay at a stable temperature all year. The result is a quieter, warmer home that costs less to heat.

Why it matters in New Westminster

New Westminster homes face two big problems: wet winters and older buildings. Many homes are decades old, with exterior walls not built for today’s moisture levels. Exterior insulation helps these homes deal with rain and damp air without falling apart.

Homes in New Westminster are often close together on sloped streets. This creates wind tunnels and shaded walls that stay damp longer. A well-sealed exterior keeps moisture out and helps your home handle the coastal climate.

Insulation in New Westminster

New Westminster has a damp, coastal climate. This requires insulation materials that can handle moisture. Paragon Exteriors uses closed-cell spray foam insulation. This type of insulation creates a strong air and vapor barrier. It prevents moisture from getting in and keeps heat inside. This helps maintain steady indoor temperatures.

Our installation process seals all gaps, cracks, and openings in the home’s exterior. This creates a complete thermal envelope. Our technicians carefully apply the spray foam in multiple layers. This ensures we meet the required R-value without any gaps. This method is important for the humid and windy conditions in New Westminster.

Benefits of Our Insulation

Paragon’s insulation solutions help keep New Westminster homes strong and dry. The closed-cell spray foam forms a solid barrier. This barrier helps support the home against wind and snow. Its strong adhesion and seamless application stop air leaks. This protects the drainage plane and reduces moisture damage.

Our insulation also slows down vapor movement. This stops moisture from getting into the walls and condensing. This protects the home’s structure from rot and decay in the wet climate. Overall, our insulation methods follow important building science principles. They ensure long-lasting energy efficiency and durability for homeowners in New Westminster.

Insulation Regulations in New Westminster

Exterior insulation work in New Westminster follows Construction Noise Bylaw No. 6063, 1992. Noisy equipment like drills and compressors can only operate between 7:00 a.m. and 8:00 p.m. on weekdays and from 9:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. on Saturdays. No construction noise is allowed on Sundays or statutory holidays, unless the homeowner is doing the work themselves.

New Westminster’s Building Bylaw No. 8125, 2019 requires that exterior wall insulation upgrades meet BC Building Code minimums. This includes an effective R-value of at least R-15.8 for Climate Zone 4. The City’s Passive Design Incentives support this standard, so any insulation work that changes wall assemblies or cladding must be designed to meet that R-15.8 target. Depending on the scope of the work, a building permit may be needed. Your contractor should coordinate with the City’s building department to ensure compliance.

Supporting Local Education

We recently worked on a multi-building school in New Westminster. Their old exterior insulation was allowing drafts and moisture inside. This increased heating costs and made classrooms uncomfortable. We replaced the insulation in phases across several buildings. We worked closely with their staff to avoid disrupting their daily schedule. Once we finished, the buildings were tight and quiet again. They no longer had to worry about cold spots or wasted energy.

Local Support for Insulation

Insulating homes in New Westminster is a regular part of our work. We usually take Highway 1 and get to the area in about 25 to 35 minutes, often passing through Downtown Vancouver and Burnaby. We also support the local economy by buying materials at hardware stores like Griff Building Supplies and Can-Am Building Supply Ltd., which helps keep our money in the community.
