Foametix is a Winnipeg-based insulation company that offers high-performance spray foam.

If you’re struggling with old or defective insulation, they make it a breeze to swap it out.

When it’s time to upgrade, you won’t need to call a separate service to remove outdated padding. They can do it themselves and clean up after, with their high-power dustless vacuum.

Once the slate is clean, your walls are ready for their industry-competitive foam. Foametix offers both open and closed cell insulation with comparatively high R values (4.3/in for open and 7/in for closed). 

Spec-browsing is easy too, since they provide technical documents upfront. All their product data is on their website and neatly packaged as downloadable PDFs.

There, you can view a detailed report of their products’ passing marks in various quality tests. This includes the material’s resistance to flame, water, compression, mould, and more. 

Apart from having leading products, their service has good follow-through. Customers appreciate that the team works efficiently and is patient in answering questions.

Overall, Foametrix has a solid team and the best product disclosure we’ve seen on this list.

Customer Reviews

Here are some testimonials that can vouch for Foamatix’s knowledgeable team:

“I decided to hire a company to re-insulate the basement & I had several companies come assess the situation & provide estimates– Richard from Foametix was by far the most knowledgeable. He provided a detailed plan on how to solve my issues & the Foametix team executed the proposed plan efficiently. I had a bajillion questions for Richard during the process & he was kind, patient, helpful & happy to provide explanations. I can not express enough how happy I am with the work that was done (old insulation removed, holes in foundation fixed, spray foam applied). Richard & the Foametix team seriously rock & I will definitely be recommending them to friends & family in the future!.”―Dani Ferguson

“Good experience. We hired Foametix to do an upgrade of our attic insulation, under the Manitoba Hydro rebate program.  All the staff that came were knowledgeable, neat and professional. The decrease in the amount our furnace runs is very noticeable. I would certainly recommend this company.”―Louisa Thomas

2.   Great Canadian Insulation

BEST FOR	Beginner homeowners and property managers
PRODUCTS	Spray foam, Blown-in insulation, roof coating, batt & poly, painting services
WEBSITE	www.greatcanadianinsulation.com
ADDRESS	25 S Landing Dr #200, Macdonald, MB R4G 0C4, Canada
CONTACT DETAILS	Phone: 204-295-6244 Email: [email protected]
OPERATING HOURS	Monday to Friday, 9:00 AM – 8:00 PM Weekends, 10:00 AM – 8:00 PM

With over 40 years of experience in the insulation business, Great Canadian Insulation is a household name in local construction. Within that time, they’ve managed a great many projects without a poor review in sight.

For renovations on buildings built before 1999, they offer to help customers apply for their MB Hydro rebate. We recommend them to property owners who are new to this process and need a walkthrough.

They carry a number of brands, although the most important thing to note here is simply that they use closed-cell insulation with an R value of 6/in.

Spraying their foam 2” thick will already make your walls airtight, but the option to do 8” in a day is possible. Within that day, you’re likely to make good pace with your project, thanks to their diligent team and long working hours.

To further protect your house, you can have them paint your foam with fire retardants. For that, they use DC315 fireproofing paint, which is upgradable to DC415.

All in all, Great Canadian Insulation has the experience and a power-through work ethic to keep any home cozy, in our opinion. 

Customer Reviews

Here are some customer reviews that speak highly of the work ethic of GCI’s team:

“It’s nearly impossible to find companies that will drive out as far as I need them for my projects. The guys were willing to come out for a small travel fee and worked all day and night to get the job done extremely quickly. Haven’t seen something like these guys in all my years as a home builder.”—Mark H.

“These guys did the upgrade on our insulation in the attic of our house.  Right from the start we were impressed with the response from Tim and the quote as well as his knowledge. The two guys that came to do the work were in and out of here in about an hour.  Quick, and very efficient.  We wouldn’t hesitate to recommend this company to anyone that’s looking.”―Sylvia Harris

“Tim’s crew showed up on time and did a great job. After the job was completed they cleaned up after themselves and asked if I wanted to check their work. Everything looked great. Would highly recommend this company. Very courteous and professional.”―Laurel rivard

3.   Cold Country Spray Foam

BEST FOR	Consistent spray foam applications
PRODUCTS	Open and closed cell spray foam insulation (Insulthane Extreme and Insulthane 200), blown-in cellulose attic insulation, insulation removal

Cold Country Spray Foam is a family-owned business with far-reaching service and flexible hours. Available 24/7, they serve all of Manitoba and parts of North West Ontario.

If you’re working on a rest house outside the city, you’re in luck. Despite the distance, testimonials speak highly of their punctual service and professionalism.

Apart from their service capacity, we like their method of keeping products consistent. Cold Country uses an automated proportioner to get their ratios on point, thereby avoiding defective foam.

It’s a responsible move on their part, as poorly mixed foam can spell a lot of trouble. This is true for even the best brands in the market, so it’s good they’ve found a reliable way to address this.

Speaking of brands, they do have some of the best. Cold Country swears by the Insulthane range by Elastochem, which performs well on all fronts and is eco-friendly. 

Another major assurance is their liability coverage. They’re insured for up to $5 million to secure your peace of mind and own up to any mishaps.

In our book, Cold Country does a lot of things right with the proper assurances in place.

Customer Reviews

“I contacted Cold Country for a quote to spray foam my basement frost walls and rim joists. They responded back in a timely and friendly manner. I was sent a complete homeowners package detailing exactly what work was to be done, their terms and conditions and everything about the product they spray! This was extremely valuable information as I wanted to know what foam was going to be used in my basement. It was also a bonus that they are a Baeumler approved contractor as well! I had a few other quotes and Cold Country was very competitive and ultimately I felt the most comfortable having them out to do the job. Chris & Jeremy were both fantastic to deal with. From the quoting process to the actual job itself these guys strive for quality and I wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them to anyone looking for spray foam. Give them a call…you won’t be disappointed!”―Brian Lawrie

“After much research, we selected Cold Country Spray Foam to insulate our Garage Walls and Roof Deck.  We are extremely satisfied with the work done by Chris and his team. Their pricing was competitive, the quality of their work was outstanding, service was prompt and professional.  We would HIGHLY recommend that you contact Cold Country Spray Foam for all of your spray foam needs!”―Kelly Sernowski
