Insulation, fireproofing and concrete lifting services
Three trades, one organized team. Tell us about the project and we will explain which material and service fit.
Wall cavity, spray foamAires Spray Foam & Insulation is a family-owned contractor based in Edmonton and Calgary. Our team installs insulation, applies fireproofing over foam and steel, and lifts sunken concrete across Alberta.
The work splits into three categories: insulation contractor, fire protection service and concrete contractor. Our organized crews follow the same written-scope, quality and safety process across all three.

Spray foam insulation
Closed cell foam is our main product. We spray it in homes, shops, barns, schools, pipelines and shipping containers. Start with the insulation overview if you want the full picture.
Spray foam insulation
What foam is, how a job runs, how it's priced by the board foot, and when it isn't worth the money.
Read moreClosed cell spray foam
Rigid, dense, about R-6 to R-7 per inch. Air and vapour barrier at 2 inches or more.
Read moreOpen cell spray foam
Softer and lighter. Good for interior walls and sound control, not for wet or exposed spaces.
Read moreResidential spray foam
Rim joists, basement walls, vaulted ceilings, garages and new-build walls.
Read moreCommercial spray foam
Retail units, warehouses, workshops, storage buildings, multi-storey units and schools.
Read moreAgricultural spray foam
Barns, Quonsets, grain storage and machine shops. Less condensation, less rust, fewer rodents.
Read moreIndustrial and pipeline foam
Trench breakers, above-ground pipelines, tanks and site enclosures in Alberta and Saskatchewan.
Read moreSea-can and van insulation
Shipping containers, hunting units, travel vans and trailers. Foam sticks to steel and stops the sweating.
Read moreAttics and retrofits
Plenty of older Edmonton houses have thin, packed-down attic insulation. Sometimes it's wet, smoke damaged or full of mouse droppings. We vacuum out what's there, fix the venting and vapour barrier, then blow in fibreglass or cellulose to the depth you need. CEIP projects in Edmonton need the attic to reach at least R-50, and we install to that number.
If your house is older and the attic has grey-brown, pebbly fill, stop there. That could be vermiculite, which can contain asbestos. It has to be tested before anyone disturbs it.
Attic insulation
Top-ups, full replacements and spray foam in cathedral and vaulted ceilings.
Read moreBlown-in fibreglass and cellulose
Loose fill for open attic floors. We'll explain which one suits your house.
Read moreInsulation removal
Old, wet, smoke-damaged or rodent-contaminated insulation and wood chips, vacuumed out.
Read moreAttic venting and vapour barrier
Blocked soffits, missing baffles and torn poly repaired before new insulation goes in.
Read moreBasement and rim joist
Foam on the rim joists and basement walls, where a lot of cold air gets in.
Read moreSoundproofing insulation
Blown-in and spray foam between rooms and floors to cut down on noise.
Read moreFireproofing over foam and steel
Spray foam left exposed in a shop, barn or commercial space usually needs a thermal or ignition barrier over it. We apply DC315, an intumescent coating that works as a 15-minute thermal barrier and meets IBC, IRC and Canadian NBC requirements. It goes on in a single coat of up to 24 mils wet.
For structural steel, we spray MONOKOTE Z-146, a Portland cement based fireproofing rated up to 4 hours depending on the design. It's used in parking garages, mechanical rooms and exterior areas because it handles freeze and thaw. See the fireproofing overview for how the two compare.
Concrete lifting
A sunken sidewalk or driveway slab doesn't always need to be torn out. We drill small holes, inject polyurethane foam underneath, and the foam expands to fill the voids and lift the slab back to grade. It costs less than tearing out and pouring new, and it's far less disruptive. Start at the concrete lifting overview.

Questions we get asked

Aires is based in Edmonton and Calgary. We serve both regions and take larger commercial, agricultural and industrial projects across Alberta, British Columbia and the Yukon.
Are your estimates free?
Yes. Estimates are free and there's no obligation. We can do a site visit or start with a phone call, and we reply to messages within 24 hours.
Is there a warranty on your work?
Every job comes with a one-year workmanship warranty. If something we installed isn't right, we come back and fix it.
