Wainwright is best known as home to Canadian Forces Base Wainwright, a major national training installation, sitting alongside a real agricultural and oil-and-gas services economy in east-central Alberta. That mix means the local building stock ranges from military and institutional buildings to farm shops and older residential streets, most of it built before today's energy codes existed.
Every building type, one city
- Homes - about 63% of Wainwright housing predates 1991; older rim joists, basements and additions carry most of the heat loss through an east-central Alberta winter. See residential spray foam insulation.
- Commercial and industrial - oilfield service shops, farm-supply warehouses and institutional buildings tied to the garrison. See commercial spray foam insulation.
- Farms and shops across the district - see agricultural spray foam insulation and shop spray foam insulation.
Closed-cell or open-cell for a Wainwright job
Closed-cell handles older below-grade walls and the condensation-on-steel problem common in farm and service shops; open-cell is the lower-cost fit for interior walls and sound control in the home. Older stock generally needs both, matched room by room.
