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

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

What affects the cost of loose fill insulation in Windsong?

Volume, depth and access

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

Cellulose or blown fibreglass — which one for your Windsong home

Cellulose

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

How we choose

We choose on the cavity, its existing contents, and the job the Windsong space actually does, rather than whatever the machine is loaded with.

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

Where it wins

Because it fills what it is blown into, loose fill outperforms batt in Windsong 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 Windsong 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. In Windsong we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Loose Fill Insulation Windsong: your questions answered

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