"We're thrilled to be a part of such an innovative series," says Dave Smith, Residential Segment Manager, ROXUL Inc.

Through the online component of the show, HomeToWin.ca, viewers can participate in a fully immersive digital experience that allows them to take a closer look at each episode's renovation and design details, explore content, photo galleries, virtual tours, as well as hotspots that will enable them to 'shop the look'. Through the site, Canadians can also discover behind-the-scenes videos and watch full episodes after they air.

"The idea of the ultimate transformation fits perfectly with what our insulation helps to accomplish," says Smith. "ROXUL insulation helps improve the comfort and safety of a home the moment it is installed and lasts throughout the life of the building. We're certain this series will leave a lasting impression, too, and we encourage Canadians to check it out."
