Emplastrum Drywall
Emplastrum Drywall works the step immediately after ours. Once the foam is applied and trimmed, the assembly needs its interior finish, and in most occupied buildings that finish is also the code-required thermal barrier over the foam - so it is not a cosmetic stage that can be deferred indefinitely.
We list them here because the handoff between these two trades is the one that most often goes wrong: foam sprayed proud of the framing has to be shaved before board goes on, and board hung before the foam has fully cured traps solvent smell in the room. A crew that has seen that sequence before does not need it explained.
Spray Foam Insulation Partners Alberta: What This Page Is, And What It Is Not
- It is a referral, not a guarantee. We are telling you who works the adjacent trade. We do not supervise their work, warrant it, or carry it on our own paper.
- You contract them directly. There is no markup passing through us, and no obligation to use anyone listed here.
- We do the spray foam work ourselves. For the OTHER trades on this page we are only pointing you at people we rate. The same applies to every trade on this page - each one is its own business.
Getting the order right
If you are planning a project with more than one trade in it, the sequencing question is worth asking before anyone is booked. On a typical retrofit the order runs: air-seal and insulate, inspect, thermal barrier, finish. Skipping the inspection step is what turns a small correction into an opened wall.
Spray Foam Insulation Partners Alberta: Common Questions
What order should the trades run in? On a typical retrofit: air-seal and insulate, inspect, thermal barrier, finish. Skipping the inspection step is what turns a small correction into an opened wall later, so it is worth keeping even when the schedule is tight.
Why does the drywall handoff matter so much? Because it is the one that most often goes wrong. Foam sprayed proud of the framing has to be shaved before board goes on, and board hung before the foam has fully cured traps solvent smell in the room. A crew that has done the sequence before does not need it explained.
Is the interior finish optional? In most occupied buildings it is also the code-required thermal barrier over the foam - so it is not a cosmetic stage that can be deferred indefinitely. Plan it as part of the job rather than as a later phase.
Do you supervise or warrant the other trades? No. Listing a trade here is a referral, not a guarantee. We do not supervise their work, warrant it, or carry it on our own paper - each one is its own business.
Do I contract them through you? No. You contract them directly, there is no markup passing through us, and there is no obligation to use anyone listed here. We do the spray foam work ourselves.
How do I get listed as a trade partner? Get in touch through the quote form or the contact page and say which trade you work and where. The trades that fit are the ones immediately before and after foam on a real job.
Tell us what the building is and what you are trying to fix when you get a free quote, and say if other trades are involved - the installer we match you with will know whether the timing works. See how the network works or what spray foam costs if you are still at the planning stage.
