From the Plateau to Limbour to the older streets of the Gatineau sector, the housing stock varies widely, but the Outaouais valley winter makes no distinction: dry cold, sudden thaws, snow-loaded roofs. Even homes from the 1990s and 2000s often have attics insulated to the bare minimum of the code back then. Upgrading to R-50 pays for itself quickly with electric heating. The price is calculated online from your address, and installation follows within 24 to 48 hours.
What we find in Gatineau attics
In the attics we insulate in Gatineau, the existing insulation measured 8.5 inches at the median before the work, or about R-24. Half of the attics measured were between R-17 and R-32. The target in Quebec is R-50, and we install R-51.
