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

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

What affects the cost of loose fill insulation in Wildflower?

Volume, depth and access

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

Cellulose or blown fibreglass — which one for your Wildflower home

Cellulose

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

How we choose

We choose on the cavity, its existing contents, and the job the Wildflower space actually does, rather than whatever the machine is loaded with. Housing in Wildflower is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

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

Where it wins

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

Loose Fill Insulation Wildflower: your questions answered

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