Home For Sale, Liverpool Nova Scotia

Here in Liverpool there is a laid back, old fashioned, atmosphere in this remarkable Canadian Atlantic town, with its slow paced lifestyle that never goes out of style. Liverpool remains apart from the hustle and bustle of the rest of the world. There is a peacefulness here that is hard to describe. Tranquility fills the air all along the tree lined streets; perhaps it is the joyful laughter of the children at play or maybe it is the slow paced lifestyle, or possibly it is the security and peace that warms one's heart. Either way it is where people come to visit from around the world and where many of those choose to stay. We are a multi-cultural community with a Regional Hospital, numerous doctors and dentists, eye care centre, elementary, junior and senior high schools that educate many foreign exchange students, eager to experience life in a foreign land and to learn English. We have clubs and organizations of every sort plus winter and summer sporting activities that spread inland and then back to the sea - the ever present sea.  Liverpool is a lovely community surrounded by quiet, unspoiled white sand beaches and protected wilderness areas. Liverpool makes a great year round hub for travelers looking for good food, culture, nature activities and a feel for stepping back in time.

Insulation - Polyurethane Closed Cell Spray Foam

Polyurethane energy efficient spray foam insulation is applied as a liquid and expands as a foam. As such it fills every single nook, cranny, crevice, hole, crack, and gap making a perfectly continuous air-tight seal every time, regardless of complex framing and penetrations.

This form of insulation is uncompromised by external forces like temperature and wind. Fiber insulations such as fiberglass accounts for 80% of heat loss. As the temperature drops, convection currents speed up and fiber insulations loose their effectiveness at slowing them down. Polyurethane spray foam on the other hand stops convection. Wind is not a factor either due to its continuous air-tight seal.

Polyurethane foam adds structural strength to a building. It's rigid structure increases in the building's strength.

Spray foam improves indoor air quality and comfort. Since it creates a continuous air-tight seal, dust and other exterior pollutants cannot enter the building. Nor does not contain any fibers or loose particles  that can contaminate indoor air quality. Spray foam also prevents the growth of molds and moisture damages.
