Loose fill insulation in Erin Woods, for the cavities batt cannot reach

Loose fill insulation in Erin Woods, for the cavities batt cannot reach

For batt to do its job in a Erin Woods wall, someone has to place it square and leave it uncompressed -- otherwise it does not. Everything else in a Erin Woods house goes to loose fill: irregular bays, closed cavities, and framing too tight or awkward for a batt to sit properly. In Erin Woods we handle blown-in cellulose and fibreglass as part of the same job as the drywall. Erin Woods is an established SE Calgary community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so basement development and the occasional upgrade where older insulation has settled or thinned are common here. We cover Erin Woods, Rangeview, Ricardo Ranch, Belvedere and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of loose fill insulation in Erin Woods?

Volume, depth and access

Loose fill cost in Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods 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.

Cellulose or blown fibreglass — which one for your Erin Woods home

Cellulose

Heavier than the alternatives and made mostly from recycled paper, cellulose packs tightly into awkward Erin Woods cavities. For closed cavities in a Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods property, it is normally the one to use.

How we choose

We choose on the cavity, its existing contents, and the job the Erin Woods space actually does, rather than whatever the machine is loaded with. In Erin Woods we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Loose fill against batt in Erin Woods: where it wins, and where it does not

Where it wins

Because it fills what it is blown into, loose fill outperforms batt in Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods 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. Erin Woods spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Common loose fill situations in Erin Woods

In Erin Woods, we see a lot of nail-pop and seam-cracking repair in Erin Woods, the normal result of thirty-plus years of seasonal drywall movement — usually a straightforward fix once we have matched the texture correctly. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

Why Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week. Quotes at the Erin Woods property are free, and the price is fixed before work begins.

FAQ — Loose Fill Insulation Erin Woods

Loose Fill Insulation Erin Woods: your questions answered

Can you blow insulation into walls that are already finished in Erin Woods?
Generally yes; that is precisely what loose fill is for in a Erin Woods property. We blow it in through small holes in the Erin Woods property, then patch and finish them, which as a drywall company is our own trade.
Does loose fill settle over time in a Erin Woods home?
Settling happens; on a Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods cavity.
Cellulose or fibreglass — which is better for Erin Woods?
Neither is better everywhere. In a Erin Woods cavity cellulose brings density and fills awkward shapes; blown fibreglass is the lighter option and settles less over time. The right choice for a Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods?
In many Erin Woods houses it is unnecessary, since new material can be added over dry insulation in reasonable shape. Wet, damaged or unidentifiable material in a Erin Woods 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 Erin Woods?
There is dust involved, so we sheet off the area in your Erin Woods home before the machine starts and clean it after. Handled correctly, the dust stays where the work is happening in your Erin Woods property. We also cover Rangeview, Ricardo Ranch, Belvedere and every Calgary quadrant.
