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

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

What affects the cost of loose fill insulation in Reynolds?

Volume, depth and access

Loose fill cost in Reynolds 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 Reynolds 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. Housing in Reynolds is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Cellulose or blown fibreglass — which one for your Reynolds home

Cellulose

Cellulose is denser, made largely from recycled paper, and packs well into the irregular spaces common in Reynolds homes. It is often the better answer for closed Reynolds 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 Reynolds 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 Reynolds space is doing -- not from what is easiest to load into the machine that day.

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

Where it wins

Loose fill takes the shape of whatever it is blown into, so in a Reynolds 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 Reynolds 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. Reynolds spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

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 Reynolds home, not two trades pointing at each other.

Loose Fill Insulation Reynolds: your questions answered

Can you blow insulation into walls that are already finished in Reynolds?
Usually yes -- in a Reynolds home that is the main reason loose fill exists. Material goes in through small access holes in your Reynolds walls which are patched and finished afterwards -- work we do ourselves as a drywall company.
Does loose fill settle over time in a Reynolds home?
Some settling is normal in a Reynolds 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 Reynolds home that is one of the things deciding which material suits the space.
Cellulose or fibreglass — which is better for Reynolds?
Neither is better everywhere. Cellulose is denser and fills irregular Reynolds spaces well; blown fibreglass is lighter and settles less. Which one suits a Reynolds 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 Reynolds?
Often it is not necessary in a Reynolds home -- new material can go over insulation that is dry and in reasonable condition. If what is in the Reynolds 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 Reynolds?
It is a dusty process, which is why the Reynolds work area is sheeted off before the machine runs and cleaned afterwards. Done properly in a Reynolds home the mess stays in the space being worked on. We also cover Bayside, Kings Heights, Coopers Crossing and the Airdrie area.
