Loose fill insulation in Cornerstone, for the cavities batt cannot reach

Loose fill insulation in Cornerstone, for the cavities batt cannot reach

Batt is only effective in a Cornerstone bay if a piece can go in square without being crushed. In Cornerstone properties loose fill covers the rest -- odd-shaped bays, cavities that are already sealed, and framing where a batt simply cannot be fitted properly. In Cornerstone we handle blown-in cellulose and fibreglass as part of the same job as the drywall. Cornerstone is an Okotoks residential community, so basement development insulation is the main call here, with the main floors already insulated to a recent code. We cover Cornerstone, Central Heights, Crystal Ridge, Downey Ridge and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of loose fill insulation in Cornerstone?

Volume, depth and access

Loose fill cost in Cornerstone 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. We look at it on site in your Cornerstone home and set a fixed price before starting.

Removing what is there first

If what is there has to come out before new material goes in, it is a separate price, raised with you before the visit and not partway through. In Cornerstone we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Cellulose or blown fibreglass — which one for your Cornerstone home

Cellulose

Cellulose carries more density, comes largely from recycled paper, and fills the irregular spaces in a Cornerstone house well. In Cornerstone houses it is usually the stronger option for cavities already closed up and for filling around obstacles.

Blown fibreglass

Blown fibreglass weighs less, resists moisture better than cellulose, and holds its depth over time. In Cornerstone homes it is generally selected when weight on the ceiling beneath is a consideration.

How we choose

The decision rests on the cavity, what is in there now, and what that Cornerstone space is for -- never on what is convenient to load that day. Cornerstone spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

When loose fill is the better choice in a Cornerstone property -- and when batt is

Where it wins

In a Cornerstone property loose fill wins where batt struggles -- irregular bays, cavities crowded with wiring and pipes, and framing that is anything but a clean rectangle. 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 Cornerstone 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.

Common loose fill situations in Cornerstone

In Cornerstone, cornerstone is a residential neighbourhood in Okotoks. Build years vary across the neighbourhood, so rather than assume what is behind the wall we confirm it on site — the finish, the texture and how the existing surface has aged all change how the repair is approached. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.

Why Cornerstone homeowners have us handle the loose fill

One contractor, one point of contact

We handle the insulation and the drywall that closes it in — so there is one company answerable for what ends up inside the wall in your Cornerstone home, not two trades pointing at each other.

Contained, then cleaned up

Blown material goes everywhere if the work area is not sheeted off first. It gets contained before anything runs, and the space is left clean.

Fixed price, same-day reply

We cover Cornerstone and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week. We quote Cornerstone jobs on site at no cost, with a fixed price agreed before anything starts. Housing in Cornerstone is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

FAQ — Loose Fill Insulation Cornerstone

Loose Fill Insulation Cornerstone: your questions answered

Can you blow insulation into walls that are already finished in Cornerstone?
Yes, normally -- it is the whole point of loose fill on a Cornerstone job. Access holes in a Cornerstone home are small, and we patch and finish them ourselves afterwards -- drywall is what we do.
Does loose fill settle over time in a Cornerstone home?
A degree of settling is expected in a Cornerstone space, which is why we install to the proper depth up front rather than adding more later. Because cellulose settles more than blown fibreglass, it is a factor in choosing between them for a Cornerstone space.
Cellulose or fibreglass — which is better for Cornerstone?
Neither is better everywhere. Cellulose has the density and handles irregular Cornerstone spaces; blown fibreglass weighs less and holds its depth better. It depends on the Cornerstone cavity itself and what is in there now -- something we work through with you on site.
Do you take the old insulation out first in Cornerstone?
Frequently there is no need in a Cornerstone property; dry, reasonably sound insulation can simply be built on. Where the existing material in a Cornerstone cavity is damp, damaged or something we cannot confidently name, work stops and it is looked at before anything is disturbed, never covered over.
How messy is blown-in insulation in Cornerstone?
Blowing insulation is dusty work -- the Cornerstone work area gets sheeted before the machine runs and cleaned once it stops. In a Cornerstone house done right, none of the mess leaves the area being worked on. We also cover Central Heights, Crystal Ridge, Downey Ridge and the Okotoks area.
