Blown-in insulation is an effective solution for improving thermal performance in these areas without major renovations. It fills gaps, voids, and irregular spaces that traditional insulation may leave exposed.
For homeowners looking to improve comfort, reduce drafts, and lower energy costs, blown-in insulation offers a reliable and efficient option when installed correctly.

How Blown-In Insulation Works
Blown-in insulation is installed using specialized equipment that distributes loose-fill insulation evenly into attics or wall cavities. The material is blown through a hose, allowing it to settle around framing, wiring, and other obstructions to create consistent coverage.
This method is especially effective for retrofit applications and older homes where access may be limited. In some projects, blown-in insulation may be used alongside other solutions such as
spray foam insulation services to address specific air-sealing or moisture-control needs.
- Access points are prepared and protected
- Insulation material is blown evenly into target areas
- Coverage depth is verified to meet performance requirements
- Final inspection ensures consistent application

Open-Cell vs Closed-Cell Spray Foam
While blown-in insulation is effective for attics and retrofit applications, some projects may benefit from alternative solutions depending on air-sealing, moisture control, and structural requirements. In certain cases, blown-in insulation is used alongside spray foam insulation to address specific performance needs.
Open-Cell Spray Foam
Open-cell spray foam is a lighter, more flexible insulation that expands to fill wall cavities and irregular spaces. It provides excellent air sealing and sound reduction, making it a popular choice for interior walls, attics, and residential applications where breathability is important.
- Expands easily into wall cavities
- Excellent air sealing and sound reduction
- More flexible and breathable material
- Commonly used in attics and interior walls
Closed-Cell Spray Foam
Closed-cell spray foam is a dense, rigid insulation with a higher R-value per inch. It adds structural strength, resists moisture, and creates a strong vapour barrier, making it ideal for basements, crawl spaces, rim joists, and commercial or industrial buildings.
- Higher R-value per inch
- Acts as a moisture and vapour barrier
- Adds strength to walls and structures
- Ideal for basements, rim joists, and commercial buildings

Spray Foam Insulation Pricing Factors
Blown-in insulation pricing depends on several factors including the size of the space, insulation depth required, accessibility, and existing insulation conditions. Each project is assessed individually to determine the appropriate coverage and material requirements.
- Area being insulated (attic, basement, rim joist, garage, or commercial space)
- Total square footage of the project
- Type of spray foam used (open-cell or closed-cell)
- Accessibility and condition of the space
- Residential vs commercial application
As a general reference, spray foam insulation projects in Toronto and across Ontario typically range from a few thousand dollars for smaller residential areas to higher costs for larger homes or commercial buildings. Final pricing depends on site conditions, insulation type, and project scope, which is why we provide custom estimates after an on-site assessment.
Spray Foam Insulation FAQs
How much does spray foam insulation cost per square foot in Toronto?
Most quotes depend on foam type, thickness, and access. As a general Toronto reference, professional installation is often cited in the range of about $1.50 to $4.90 per sq ft (varies by project and specs). The fastest way to get an accurate number is an on-site assessment.
How much does it cost to spray foam 1000 sq ft in Toronto / GTA?
For a 1,000 sq ft project in the Toronto area, you’ll commonly see totals in the $2,500 to $6,000 range depending on thickness, open vs closed-cell, and prep work. Exact pricing changes based on how many inches you need and what surfaces are being sprayed.
How much does it cost to spray foam a 24x24 garage?
A 24’ x 24’ (2-car) garage is commonly estimated around $3,000 to $8,000, with many examples citing an average near $6,000 when walls + ceiling + labor are included. Final cost depends on whether it’s attached, the coverage areas, and required R-value.
How much does 2 inches of spray foam cost?
Spray foam is often priced by the board foot (1 sq ft × 1 inch thick). At 2 inches, you’re using 2 board feet per sq ft. Published Canadian ranges often show roughly $0.50–$1.00/board foot (open-cell) and $1.25–$1.65/board foot (closed-cell) as reference pricing points—then installation, prep, and access affect your final installed rate.
Is open-cell or closed-cell spray foam more expensive?
Closed-cell is typically more expensive because it’s denser and delivers a higher R-value per inch. Common published references show open-cell around $0.50–$1.00/board foot and closed-cell around $1.25–$1.65/board foot, with installed project totals varying by thickness and scope.
What factors affect spray foam insulation pricing?
Pricing usually depends on:
Area type (attic, basement, rim joist, garage, commercial)
Square footage + thickness (inches / R-value)
Open-cell vs closed-cell
Access & prep work (old insulation removal, tight areas)
Residential vs commercial requirements
How thick should spray foam insulation be in Ontario?
Thickness depends on where it’s installed and target performance. Published guidance often suggests roughly 5–6 inches for open-cell or 3–4 inches for closed-cell for many Canadian climates, with adjustments based on code and building design. We confirm the right build-up during the estimate.
Are there rebates for insulation upgrades in Ontario?
Some Ontario homeowners may qualify for utility rebate programs (availability and eligibility vary). For example, Enbridge promotes home efficiency rebates that can apply to insulation/air sealing in certain cases.
