Edson's homes are mostly older - around 66% pre-1991 - and they sit in the foothills climate of west-central Alberta, where winter comes early and stays. That makes the town's aging stock a strong candidate for spray foam: seal the decades-old leaks, and an Edson home holds heat through a long cold season instead of bleeding it.
Where Edson homes lose heat
- Basements - closed-cell adds R against the cold ground and stops condensation.
- Rim joists - the leakiest band, common across the older stock.
- Attics and additions - where settled insulation and foothills cold combine.
Why the air-seal matters here
Forestry-town homes were often built for function over efficiency, and the foothills cold exposes every gap. Spray foam air-seals as it insulates, which is what actually stops the drafts an older Edson home feels all winter.
