Drill and Fill

Many residential buildings, both old and new, are currently being “retrofitted” with insulation. A simple upgrade to ensure that “conditioned” air is preserved within the residence is an insulation retrofit. In the winter, this entails preventing warm air from escaping, while in the summer, it entails preventing cooled air from escaping. Energy efficiency is created by insulation.

Retrofit drill-and-fill has the advantage of being installed from either the interior or external walls of the house. It might be quite beneficial to finish the installation through the outer walls, especially if internal access is not an option. And for some households, this insulation improvement could be the best one yet, thanks to improved R-Values that result in significant year-round energy savings. In terms of insulating products, the drill-and-fill retrofit is ideally suited for loose-fill insulation. The loose-fill material is blown into a wall through the pre-drilled holes, easily conforming to the empty cavity area, and does not affect the integrity of the wall. One advantage of retrofit drill-and-fill is that it may be placed from either the inside or external walls of the house. When inside access is not permitted, finishing the installation through the outer walls might be quite beneficial. And for certain properties, this may be the ideal insulation update, thanks to improved R-Values that significantly reduce energy use throughout the year.
