Do you install fibreglass from inside or outside a house?
Attics are insulated through the attic hatch if there is one, or from a roof vent. If there are no roof vents we can install one for you. Insulation of the walls depends on the construction of the house: Vinyl siding: can be done from outside when weather is warm enough (approximately May to October) using a method that does not require drilling through the siding. Brick: 2″ holes are drilled from inside, on all exterior walls, between the studs (16″ spacing). Additional holes are drilled above windows and below any fire stops in the walls. A 2″ hose with a directional nozzle is used to blow loosefill fibreglass insulation (also known as fibreglass wool), ensuring that the cavity is packed from top to bottom. The holes are then filled with drywall mud which only requires a skim coat and sanding before you paint over it. You may need to do some light dusting afterward, but generally our clients tell us they’re pleased at how little mess and disruption there is.
