Georgian Insulation Systems utilizes a Thermal imaging camera to discover insulation and building envelope concerns.

Infra Red Thermal Scanning - We can help you locate areas of heat loss in your home or office.

Thermal Infra Red imaging, is a non invasive way to locate missing insulation, detect air leaks, moisture intrusion, wildlife, and even some structural problems. Thermal imaging can quickly identify problems in your home or commercial building.

All objects and surfaces emit different temperatures.  The Thermal imaging camera shows these differences in an easy to view image. Missing insulation or moisture in a wall is quickly identified without damaging the surface.

Infra Red Scans are useful for diagnosing building problems such as;
  1. Detecting missing insulation,
  2. Locating Moisture problems, leaks , condensation etc.
  3. Detecting overloaded electrical circuits.
  4. Detecting air leakage.
  5. Verifying solar panels are functioning correctly.
  6. Remotely and safely measure temperatures.
  7. Finding hot spots on equipment.
  8. Verifying radiant in floor heating is working.
  9. Locating missing heat registers.
  10. Locating leaking plumbing and air ducts.
  11. Detecting moisture intrusion in a foundation wall.
There are many applications for this modern technology.  A quick scan of a building can quickly identify problems, often resulting in considrable cost savings over traditional invasive investigations.

Georgian Insulation is based in OroMedonte. We cover all regions in Simcoe County, Muskoka, Haliburton, Dufferin, North York, Grey and Bruce.

Learn the "Green” facts about Cellulose insulation


Cellulose insulation is one of the greenest products on the market today and will allow you to make a positive contribution to the environment without sacrificing performance. Save money on utility bills and keep your family warm and comfortable, safe in the knowledge you have made the smart choice. Cellulose insulation can be blown into your attic or cathedral ceiling and injected into wall cavities.

Everyone knows that properly insulating a house or building will save on utility costs. But not all insulations are created equal. Cellulose insulation performs best even under the most demanding of conditions where there are extreme differences between inside and outside temperatures.

When comparing the price of cellulose to other products, it is important to compare the extra benefits, such as sound insulation and the environmental benefits. Cellulose Insulation has the lowest cost per square foot per R-Value.

When Cellulose is used, it creates a 100% seamless seal, which makes a home up to 36% tighter than fiberglass. With its higher density and ability to seamlessly cover and fill those difficult spaces like pipes, electrical wiring and other mechanical areas, you are getting an excellent barrier to air flow, excellent sound insulation and excellent insulating properties even in the most difficult environments.

These are the key “Green” facts about Cellulose insulation. Don’t be fooled into thinking that all products are “green” just because they say they are - check the facts.

1. Cellulose has the largest amount of post-consumer recycled content in the industry - up to 85% recycled newspaper. Paper is the largest component of landfills and producing Cellulose insulation diverts waste from the landfills thus saving valuable space.

2. Cellulose takes less energy to make than any other insulation material. In green circles this is known as “embodied energy” which is the energy required to transport raw materials and the energy used to make the final product. Fiberglass, the most widely used insulation, has 10 times more embodied energy than cellulose.
 
3. Making cellulose insulation from newsprint prevents the release of greenhouse gases such as methane, which is released as newspaper decomposes in landfills.
 
4. Cellulose insulation has an R–value of R 3.8 per inch, this R-value remains consistent. Unlike fiberglass insulation which actually looses R value in extreme temperatures, resulting in the least performance when you need it the most.

"Blown Cellulose Insulation is simply the best choice for your attic".

Looking Save Up to 40% on Your Utility Bills? Ask Us About Walltite.

Walltite Eco Spray Foam is made from renewable vegetable oils and recycled plastics, blended into a high performance spray polyurethane foam.

Spray foam Insulation saves on energy costs and lowers utility bills. It is used to seal the entire “building envelope” of your home to prevent air and moisture infiltration. Air infiltrates your home in the form of drafts through walls, electrical sockets, windows, doorways and other penetrations. The need for additional air or vapour barriers is often eliminated, providing additional savings during construction.

The Polyurethane Foam that Georgian Insulation Systems,  installs, is Walltite Eco as seen on the  Mike Holmes TV show.  This spray foam is an excellent insulation material for all areas of construction. A modern custom building is expected to be an energy efficient building. Today’s educated building owners are demanding the superior, long term efficiency and performance that are only achieved with spray foam insulation.

Walltite Eco, is made from renewable vegetable oils and recycled plastics, blended into a high performance spray polyurethane foam. Walltite Eco, meets all the requirements of the National Building code of Canada and provides in one step, a long-term thermal resistance, an air barrier material and a vapour barrier. Walltite Eco, provides an aged R-value of R6.5 per inch; it also significantly improves the racking strength of a building by as much as 300%.

Walltite Eco= High R-Value | monthly energy and utility savings of 40% or more can be achieved

Walltite Eco Sprayed polyurethane foam has an aged R-value of approximately R 6.5 per inch, enabling it to provide more thermal resistance with less material than any other type of commercial insulation.  The R-value surpasses competing spray foams. SPF systems are frequently used to insulate and protect a wide variety of residential, commercial, agricultural and industrial buildings.

Monthly energy and utility savings of 40% or more can be achieved when compared to the traditional fiberglass products. The cost of insulating with spray foam insulation can often be recovered in less than 5 years, simply through energy savings alone.
