When the thermometer dips and snow blankets your home, K-13 spray-applied insulation is your ally. At Furoy's Insulation, Northern Ontario’s trusted, locally owned insulation specialist with over 30 years of experience, we make your home warmer, quieter, and more efficient. Our Certified K-13 Installers deliver unmatched quality, always keeping you informed from start to finish.

What’s So Special About K-13?

1. Exceptional Thermal Performance

Achieves R-3.75 per inch, with the option for up to R-37.5 using the High-R System (installed up to 10")
Because it’s spray-applied, K-13 conforms to cracks, seams, and hard-to-reach places, creating a monolithic air barrier that dramatically reduces cold drafts and heat loss.

2. Top-Tier Acoustic Control

The open-cell cellulose composition delivers superior sound absorption (NRC ranges up to 1.00).
Ideal for minimizing noise in environments with high noise levels, such as open-concept living areas, mechanical rooms, workshops, or areas near busy traffic zones.

3. Durable, Safe, and Aesthetically Appealing

Made from 80% recycled cellulose fibres, K-13 is an eco-friendly and LEED/GREENGUARD Gold-certified solution.
Fire-resistant treated fibres deliver a Class I/Class A rating, enhancing safety around furnaces or wood stoves.
Offers a textured finish in standard or custom colours, eliminating the need for drywall and adding visual appeal.

4. Condensation & Moisture Management

K-13 helps regulate condensation on cold surfaces like metal or concrete roofs and decks, especially valuable in Northern Ontario’s freeze-thaw.
Its monolithic coating works hand in hand with proper ventilation to curb moisture buildup.

Why K-13 Makes Sense for Northern Ontario

Northern Ontario homes face:

Long, frigid winters often drop well below 0 °C.
High heating costs and a growing need for energy efficiency.
Challenges such as wall condensation, drafty ceilings, and excessive noise from wind, HVAC systems, or busy roads.

K-13 addresses all this:

Enhanced R-value keeps homes snug and reduces heating bills.
Seamless application seals all gaps, limiting air infiltration.
Bio-based and sustainable, yet robust enough to endure harsh regional conditions.
Acoustic benefits improve indoor comfort amid noisy weather or machinery.

And with Furoy's local insight, you’ll get:

A free estimate from trusted, North Ontario-based installers who treat customers like family.
Installation tailored to cold-weather and moisture management needs.
