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

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

For batt to do its job in a Greystone wall, someone has to place it square and leave it uncompressed -- otherwise it does not. Everything else in a Greystone house goes to loose fill: irregular bays, closed cavities, and framing too tight or awkward for a batt to sit properly. In Greystone we handle blown-in cellulose and fibreglass as part of the same job as the drywall. Greystone is a growing Cochrane community where settling cracks and finishing work are common, so basement development insulation is the main call here, with the main floors already insulated to a recent code. We cover Greystone and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of loose fill insulation in Greystone?

Volume, depth and access

Loose fill cost in Greystone 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 Greystone 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 Greystone home

Cellulose

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

How we choose

We choose on the cavity, its existing contents, and the job the Greystone space actually does, rather than whatever the machine is loaded with. Basement development is common in Greystone, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

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

Where it wins

Because it fills what it is blown into, loose fill outperforms batt in Greystone 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 Greystone 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. A lot of our Greystone work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

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 Greystone home, not two trades pointing at each other.

In Greystone

Greystone: what shapes the job

In Greystone we see original finishes and recent renovations on the same block, so the loose fill insulation is scoped per house, not per postcode.

Basements in Greystone run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.

FAQ — Loose Fill Insulation Greystone

Loose Fill Insulation Greystone: your questions answered

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