BUILT TO HANDLE MANITOBA WINTERS

Manitoba winters don't forgive poor insulation. Cold spots, ice damming, skyrocketing heating bills, and moisture problems all trace back to the same root cause, inadequate or improperly installed insulation. Praterie Custom Construction gets it right from the start.

We install the full range of insulation products for residential and commercial applications. Batt insulation for interior walls, blown-in for attics and hard-to-reach cavities, rigid board for basements and foundations, and spray foam for maximum air sealing and R-value performance. Every product is matched to the specific application and Manitoba's climate demands.

Fiberglass Batt Insulation

Fiberglass remains one of the most trusted and widely used insulation materials in residential and commercial construction. Made from recycled glass and sand, it delivers reliable thermal performance at a competitive price point. Praterie's certified installers ensure every batt is fitted precisely — no gaps, no compression, no shortcuts.

Fiberglass insulation offers key advantages that make it a smart choice for Manitoba builds. It's naturally fire retardant, resistant to pests, free of harmful chemicals, and available in a range of thicknesses to meet specific R-value requirements. Whether installed as form-fitting batts in wall cavities or distributed loosely into attics, overhangs, and cantilevered floors, fiberglass delivers consistent performance when installed correctly.

Rigid Foam Insulation

When maximum R-value per inch matters, rigid foam is the answer. Praterie installs rigid foam board for basements, foundations, crawl spaces, and exterior sheathing applications where superior thermal resistance and moisture control are essential.

Rigid foam delivers a unique combination of benefits that make it ideal for Manitoba's demanding climate. It never loses its insulation value over time, doubles as an effective air barrier when joints are properly sealed, and can be installed year-round regardless of temperature. It's lightweight, easy to cut and shape to fit any application, and available in a range of thicknesses to hit the exact R-value your project requires.

Where rigid foam really shines is below grade. Basement walls and foundations are constantly exposed to moisture and temperature swings. Rigid board handles both without degrading, making it the go-to choice for any basement development or foundation insulation project.

The R-value of your building envelope directly impacts your comfort and your utility bills, every month, for the life of the building. Praterie's installers ensure every board is tight, sealed, and performing exactly as it should.

Beyond the Product

Proper insulation is about more than stuffing material into a wall cavity. Vapour barriers, air sealing, thermal bridging, and ventilation all play a role in how your building envelope performs. Our installers understand the science behind it and apply that knowledge on every job.

Whether it's a new build, a renovation, or an upgrade to an existing structure, Praterie delivers insul
