Barrie's Building Boom Meets the Thermal Barrier Requirement
Barrie is one of the fastest-growing cities in Ontario, and its building stock reflects it: new subdivisions, basement developments in existing homes, garage and coach-house builds, and light commercial projects throughout the city. Spray foam is everywhere in that mix — insulating basements, garage ceilings, and commercial interiors.
What the building code asks in return: exposed spray foam generally needs an approved thermal barrier between it and occupied spaces. DC315 is an intumescent coating sprayed over cured foam; under high heat it expands into a protective char layer that helps slow fire spread, and in many applications it removes the need to cover the foam with drywall.
