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

Batt only works in a Reunion cavity where somebody can get a piece of it in square and uncompressed. Loose fill handles everything else in a Reunion home -- irregular bays, cavities already closed up, and spaces where the framing is too tight or too awkward to fit a batt properly. In Reunion we handle blown-in cellulose and fibreglass as part of the same job as the drywall. Reunion is a newer Airdrie 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 Reunion and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of loose fill insulation in Reunion?

Volume, depth and access

Loose fill cost in Reunion 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 assess it on site in Reunion and give a fixed price before anything starts.

Removing what is there first

If existing material has to come out before new goes in, that is priced separately and you are told before the visit, not partway through it. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Reunion, often with several layers from past repairs.

Cellulose or blown fibreglass — which one for your Reunion home

Cellulose

Cellulose is denser, made largely from recycled paper, and packs well into the irregular spaces common in Reunion homes. It is often the better answer for closed Reunion cavities and for filling around obstructions.

Blown fibreglass

Blown fibreglass is lighter, does not take on moisture the way cellulose can, and settles less over time. It is usually the choice in a Reunion home where weight on the ceiling below matters.

How we choose

The pick comes from the cavity, what is already in it, and what the Reunion space is doing -- not from what is easiest to load into the machine that day. Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Reunion, and anything from that era gets treated carefully until its age is known.

Where loose fill beats batt in a Reunion home -- and where it does not

Where it wins

Loose fill takes the shape of whatever it is blown into, so in a Reunion home it beats batt in irregular bays, around wiring and pipes, and anywhere the framing is not 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 Reunion 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.

How Reunion homes affect the work

Reunion spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall genuinely differs street to street — which is why we look before quoting the loose fill insulation rather than after.

A lot of the work in Reunion starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing and ducting above it.

Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Reunion, often with more than one layer from earlier repairs, and each layer changes how the new work has to be feathered.

Loose Fill Insulation Reunion: your questions answered

Can you blow insulation into walls that are already finished in Reunion?
Usually yes -- in a Reunion home that is the main reason loose fill exists. Material goes in through small access holes in your Reunion walls which are patched and finished afterwards -- work we do ourselves as a drywall company.
Does loose fill settle over time in a Reunion home?
Some settling is normal in a Reunion attic, and it is accounted for by installing to the right depth in the first place rather than topping up later. Cellulose settles more than blown fibreglass, and in a Reunion home that is one of the things deciding which material suits the space.
Cellulose or fibreglass — which is better for Reunion?
Neither is better everywhere. Cellulose is denser and fills irregular Reunion spaces well; blown fibreglass is lighter and settles less. Which one suits a Reunion cavity depends on the space and what is already in it, and we go through that on the site visit.
Do you take the old insulation out first in Reunion?
Often it is not necessary in a Reunion home -- new material can go over insulation that is dry and in reasonable condition. If what is in the Reunion cavity is wet, damaged, or a material we cannot confidently identify, we stop and have it looked at before anything is disturbed rather than blowing over it.
How messy is blown-in insulation in Reunion?
It is a dusty process, which is why the Reunion work area is sheeted off before the machine runs and cleaned afterwards. Done properly in a Reunion home the mess stays in the space being worked on. We also cover Bayside, Kings Heights, Coopers Crossing and the Airdrie area.
