Frequently Asked Questions

The R-value indicates the thermal resistance of an insulation material. The higher the value, the greater the material’s resistance to heat transfer.

However, insulation performance also depends on how the insulation is installed. Gaps in insulation, compression of certain materials or air leakage can reduce overall performance.

In winter:

• Walls are cold to the touch
• Floors are cold
• Heating costs are high
• Heat is not evenly distributed throughout the home
• Mold grows on the walls

In summer:

• The indoor air is too warm
• Air conditioning costs are high
• The air conditioner is inefficient
• Mold appears in the basement

Cellulose can be applied in different ways depending on the area to be insulated. Blown cellulose is commonly used in attics, while injected cellulose can be applied inside certain structures.

Isolation Unik uses cellulose for various thermal and acoustic insulation needs, including roofs, ceilings, walls and floors. It can also be used in certain hard-to-access areas, such as around framing and pipes.

Spray polyurethane foam is a thermal insulation material that can be applied to various surfaces. Isolation Unik uses it to insulate walls, ceilings, foundations and crawl spaces.

It can also be applied to various surfaces, including steel, concrete, wood and drywall, as well as in certain hard-to-access areas.

Yes. Cellulose is one of the solutions used by Isolation Unik for acoustic insulation. It can be applied in ceilings, walls and floors to help reduce the transmission of noise and vibrations.

This technique can be used in various residential, commercial and industrial environments.

Fireproofing involves applying a coating designed to slow the effects of fire and heat on certain building components.

Isolation Unik applies cementitious fireproofing coatings to steel and spray polyurethane foam. On steel structures, this type of coating helps delay deformation when exposed to high temperatures.

Isolation Unik uses polyurea as a protective membrane for foundations. Once applied, this membrane provides 100% waterproofing and creates a protective barrier against moisture and water infiltration.

Polyurea also stands out for its durability, flexibility and resistance to abrasion, impacts and certain chemicals found in the soil. These properties make it suitable for various foundation protection and waterproofing needs.

Yes. Isolation Unik carries out work on both new construction and renovation projects.
