One neighbourhood, one attic era

The Villes et Provinces de France neighbourhood, whose streets carry the names of French cities and provinces, was built mostly in the 1990s. Harmonie started late in that decade, and Le Boisé in the early 2000s. These houses are two or three decades old, enough for the original insulation to have aged.

The largest block is still 1961 to 1980, with 39.3% of homes, against 28.6% from 1981 to 2000 and 22.4% since 2001. In a house from that period, the batts between the joists may be thin and packed down.

Four households in five own their home

With 84% of households owning and 59.1% single-detached houses, Boucherville is mostly a city of houses. If yours is heated mainly with electricity, check whether LogisVert applies: Hydro-Québec’s measure ties roof insulation to caulking, which Isolation Cornerstone does in a single project. See the LogisVert rebate page.

Isolation CornerstoneAnswers from the team

Hi! Pick a question and we’ll answer right here.

Choose a question

Does my 1990s house still need an insulated attic hatch?
Yes. A hatch with no insulation or weatherstripping lets warm air through. In Isolation Cornerstone’s order of work, the hatch is insulated and gets weatherstripping.
Is it better to blow new insulation over the old rather than strip it all out?
Depends on what is underneath. A blocked soffit or warm air leaking through the ceiling would stay hidden under the new layer, so Isolation Cornerstone fixes those first, then blows. Vermiculite is never covered over: it comes out first.
Is the visit for the quote really free?
Yes. Isolation Cornerstone comes to look at the attic at your address and gives you a written quote, at no charge and with no pressure.
