The bonus room over the garage is the coldest room in half of Alberta's newer homes - and for a predictable reason. It sits on top of an unheated garage, it is surrounded by attic on three sides through knee walls, and its complicated roofline is full of hard-to-insulate angles. Batt insulation loses that fight.
Why the bonus room is always cold
- The floor sits over an unheated garage - cold comes straight up.
- Knee walls back onto open, cold attic space.
- Sloped ceilings and dormers leave awkward cavities batt never fills well.
How foam fixes it
Closed-cell air-seals and insulates the floor system over the garage, the knee walls and the sloped roof sections in one continuous layer - no gaps for cold to find. It is the difference between a room you avoid in January and one you actually use.
