As the oldest insulation contractor in North America, Guildfords takes great pride in its history. In May 1906, Robert Adams (R.A.) Guildford settled in Halifax and set up shop as a ship's chandler, specializing in supplies for the still new steam-driven trans-Atlantic freighters. The new mode of transport demanded new products. Guildford saw opportunity in providing insulation for the heat-sensitive steam engines and the many valves and moving parts required to keep the new vessels crossing the Atlantic.
