Drill and Fill Application
Drill and Fill Application
Drill and Fill is a retrofit insulation technique where small holes are drilled into walls, and insulation material, such as foam or loose-fill, is injected into wall cavities. This method is ideal for improving insulation in existing structures without requiring extensive renovations, making it a practical solution for upgrading energy efficiency in older homes and buildings.
Places for Application
- Residential Properties
- Commercial Properties
- Older Buildings with Little or No Wall Insulation
Advantages
- Ideal for older homes and buildings: Drill and Fill is perfect for retrofitting older buildings where wall insulation is inadequate or nonexistent.
- Fast installation with minimal disruption: The process can be completed quickly without causing major disruptions to occupants.
- No need for major structural changes: Drill and Fill insulation is minimally invasive, requiring only small holes to be drilled, avoiding the need for full wall demolition.
Benefits/Results after Application
By filling voids in walls with insulation, this method significantly enhances energy efficiency, reducing heat loss and improving indoor temperature regulation.
Unlike full wall demolition, Drill and Fill is a less intrusive solution, making it easier to upgrade insulation without disrupting the home or building’s structure.
Filling wall cavities reduces drafts and cold spots, creating a more comfortable indoor environment with fewer temperature fluctuations.
Application Process
Drilling
Small holes are drilled into the walls, typically between studs.
Insulation Injection
Insulation material, such as loose-fill or foam, is injected into the wall cavities to fill voids and improve thermal performance.
Sealing
Once the insulation is applied, the holes are sealed and the wall is restored to its original condition.
Drill and Fill insulation enhances the energy efficiency and comfort of buildings without requiring major structural changes. This method is a fast, minimally invasive way to retrofit older homes and buildings, making them more energy-efficient and comfortable.
