Exterior Insulation in Delta
Continuous Outboard Insulation · Higher Effective R-Value
Nixon Exteriors provides exterior insulation in Delta, serving homeowners and property managers across Ladner, Tsawwassen, North Delta, Sunshine Hills and surrounding neighbourhoods. We install continuous exterior insulation — rigid board or mineral wool outboard of the sheathing — that wraps the wall in an unbroken thermal layer and lifts the whole-wall effective R-value. Delta's agricultural flatlands and ocean exposure create unique wind and moisture conditions — so the insulation is continuous outboard of the framing, keeping the sheathing warm and dry and the dew point out of the structure. Windows, doors, and cladding are handled by one accountable crew, with $5M liability coverage and WorkSafeBC compliance on every job.
Why Delta Chooses Nixon Exteriors for Exterior Insulation
Windows, doors, and cladding handled by one accountable contractor — every layer of the wall detailed as a continuous system.
We deliver exterior insulation on single-family homes, agricultural properties, waterfront homes throughout Delta. Delta's Tsawwassen and Boundary Bay properties face direct ocean exposure, making weather-resistant windows and doors essential for long-term durability against salt spray.
Delta's agricultural flatlands and ocean exposure create unique wind and moisture conditions. Products are selected for superior performance in coastal and open-terrain environments. We specify the exterior insulation detailing that handles those exact conditions.
Because Nixon installs the windows, flashing, and cladding, your Delta project is detailed as one continuous, warrantied system — no gaps between trades.
How We Approach Exterior Insulation
Unbroken Thermal Layer
Continuous exterior insulation wraps the framing, so heat is not lost through the studs the way it is with cavity-only insulation.
Warmer, Drier Sheathing
Keeping the sheathing above the dew point dramatically reduces the condensation that drives rot and mould in BC walls.
Part of the Rainscreen
The insulation is installed with the barrier and a drained cavity, so the wall still ventilates and dries behind the cladding.
