Fort McMurray sees the most extreme winters in Alberta, and a lot of its building stock is newer - much of the housing rebuilt after the 2016 wildfire, and the commercial base built to serve the oilsands. That combination changes what a spray foam job means here: it's less about restoring a century-old building and more about pushing a modern envelope hard enough to hold up against genuinely brutal cold.
Every building type, one city
- Homes - newer construction in neighbourhoods like Timberlea, Thickwood and Parsons Creek still loses heat fast at rim joists, basements and bonus rooms in this climate. See residential spray foam in Fort McMurray.
- Commercial and industrial - service shops, warehouses, camp and modular buildings supporting oilsands operations. See commercial spray foam in Fort McMurray.
- Oilfield and industrial equipment - tanks, skids and modular structures built for the far north. See oilfield spray foam province-wide.
Closed-cell or open-cell for a Fort McMurray job
Closed-cell is close to the default this far north - basements, rim joists, exterior walls and metal or modular buildings all need the moisture resistance and higher R-value. Open-cell still fits interior walls and sound control where deep cold and moisture aren't the concern.
