Spray Foam vs. Fiberglass Insulation: Which One Wins in Alberta’s Climate?
Not all insulation is created equal — especially when winter hits.
Choosing the right insulation isn’t just about cost — it’s about performance, durability, and comfort. Let’s compare the two most common options for Alberta homes.
Spray foam insulation offers a higher R-value per inch, better air sealing, and exceptional moisture resistance. It expands to fill every gap and crack, making your home airtight and dramatically reducing heat loss. In contrast, fiberglass often leaves gaps that allow drafts and moisture in, leading to cold spots and higher utility bills.
Beyond performance, spray foam lasts much longer — 25+ years with minimal maintenance. Fiberglass tends to sag, settle, or degrade over time, especially in Alberta’s freeze-thaw cycles. Long-term, spray foam saves you more while keeping your home consistently comfortable.
