Brooks homes deal with an Alberta climate of extremes - hot summers, and cold winters driven by the wind that sweeps southeast Alberta. With roughly 62% of the stock built before 1991, most homes here leak in both directions: losing heat in winter and gaining it in summer. Spray foam's air-seal is a year-round fix, not just a winter one.
Where Brooks homes lose heat (and gain it)
- Basements - closed-cell for R and condensation control against the ground.
- Rim joists - the leakiest band, and a fast win.
- Attics - where summer heat pours in and winter heat escapes; sealing cuts both.
Why the air-seal works both seasons
An air-sealed envelope stops the wind-driven infiltration that costs you in a Brooks winter and the heat gain that runs the AC in July. Batt slows heat one way; foam seals the air both ways. For an older Brooks home, that's comfort in every season.
