Loose fill insulation in Cliff Bungalow, for the cavities batt cannot reach

For batt to do its job in a Cliff Bungalow wall, someone has to place it square and leave it uncompressed -- otherwise it does not. Everything else in a Cliff Bungalow house goes to loose fill: irregular bays, closed cavities, and framing too tight or awkward for a batt to sit properly. In Cliff Bungalow we handle blown-in cellulose and fibreglass as part of the same job as the drywall. Cliff Bungalow is an older SW Calgary community where settling cracks, aging texture and the occasional plaster repair come up, so attic top-ups and wall insulation upgrades are common here alongside basement development, since original insulation levels are often below current standards. We cover Cliff Bungalow, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of loose fill insulation in Cliff Bungalow?

Volume, depth and access

Loose fill cost in Cliff Bungalow comes down to the area being covered, the depth it is being brought up to, and how hard the space is to get a hose into. It gets assessed at the Cliff Bungalow property and priced firmly before work begins.

Removing what is there first

Where existing material must be removed first, that carries its own price and you hear about it ahead of the visit rather than midway through. In Cliff Bungalow we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Cellulose or blown fibreglass — which one for your Cliff Bungalow home

Cellulose

Heavier than the alternatives and made mostly from recycled paper, cellulose packs tightly into awkward Cliff Bungalow cavities. For closed cavities in a Cliff Bungalow home, and for working around obstructions, it is frequently the better choice.

Blown fibreglass

Lighter than cellulose, less prone to absorbing moisture, and it settles less as the years pass. Where load on the ceiling below is a concern in a Cliff Bungalow property, it is normally the one to use.

How we choose

We choose on the cavity, its existing contents, and the job the Cliff Bungalow space actually does, rather than whatever the machine is loaded with. Cliff Bungalow spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Loose fill against batt in Cliff Bungalow: where it wins, and where it does not

Where it wins

Because it fills what it is blown into, loose fill outperforms batt in Cliff Bungalow houses wherever bays are irregular, services are in the way, or the framing is not square. It is also the only practical option for a cavity that is already closed and cannot be opened up.

Where batt is still the right call

In an open, regular Cliff Bungalow wall being built or renovated, batt cut to fit is usually the better answer — it is easier to inspect before boarding and it does not depend on getting even coverage from a hose. If your walls are open, see our insulation installation options before defaulting to blown-in.

We will tell you which one you need

Recommending loose fill for a wall that should get batt is an easy way to make a job simpler, and it is not how we quote. Housing in Cliff Bungalow is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Loose Fill Insulation Cliff Bungalow: your questions answered

Can you blow insulation into walls that are already finished in Cliff Bungalow?
Generally yes; that is precisely what loose fill is for in a Cliff Bungalow property. We blow it in through small holes in the Cliff Bungalow property, then patch and finish them, which as a drywall company is our own trade.
Does loose fill settle over time in a Cliff Bungalow home?
Settling happens; on a Cliff Bungalow job it is allowed for by going to the correct depth at installation instead of returning to top up. More settling occurs with cellulose than with blown fibreglass, which is part of what determines the right material for a Cliff Bungalow cavity.
Cellulose or fibreglass — which is better for Cliff Bungalow?
Neither is better everywhere. In a Cliff Bungalow cavity cellulose brings density and fills awkward shapes; blown fibreglass is the lighter option and settles less over time. The right choice for a Cliff Bungalow home comes down to the cavity and its existing contents, which we cover during the visit.
Do you take the old insulation out first in Cliff Bungalow?
In many Cliff Bungalow houses it is unnecessary, since new material can be added over dry insulation in reasonable shape. Wet, damaged or unidentifiable material in a Cliff Bungalow home means we stop and get it examined before anything is disturbed -- we do not blow over it.
How messy is blown-in insulation in Cliff Bungalow?
There is dust involved, so we sheet off the area in your Cliff Bungalow home before the machine starts and clean it after. Handled correctly, the dust stays where the work is happening in your Cliff Bungalow property. We also cover Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant.
