Sundre sits at the foothills gateway to the Rockies on the David Thompson Highway corridor, a ranching and oil-and-gas town where the terrain starts climbing west of Red Deer. The combination of foothills wind exposure and an older housing stock means the envelope problems here run deeper than a typical central Alberta town - old rim joists and basements that have taken decades of wind-driven cold.
Every building type, one city
- Homes - about 56% of Sundre housing predates 1991; wind exposure at the foothills edge makes air-sealing as important as raw R-value. See residential spray foam insulation.
- Commercial and industrial - oilfield service shops and equipment yards serving the surrounding district. See commercial spray foam insulation.
- Ranches, farms and shops across the foothills - see agricultural spray foam insulation, barn spray foam insulation and shop spray foam insulation.
Closed-cell or open-cell for a Sundre job
Closed-cell resists the wind-driven moisture that comes with foothills exposure and handles condensation on metal-clad shops; open-cell is the lower-cost choice for interior walls and sound control where wind isn't a factor. Older stock generally needs both.
