What Is Exterior Wall Dense Packing?

 

Exterior wall dense packing is a professional insulation technique that fills empty or under-insulated wall cavities with tightly packed insulation material—typically cellulose or fiberglass—from the outside of your home. This method allows us to:

• Seal hidden air leaks
• Improve thermal performance
• Reduce drafts and cold spots
• Increase indoor comfort
• Preserve your interior finishes

 

Unlike traditional insulation projects that require drywall removal, exterior dense packing is minimally invasive and highly effective.

 

Why Exterior Wall Dense Packing Is So Effective

 

Many older homes in Central PA were built with little to no wall insulation. Even newer homes can suffer from poorly installed batts or air gaps that allow heat to escape. Dense packing solves these problems by creating a continuous, compact thermal barrier inside your walls.

 

Benefits include:

 

Lower Energy Bills

By stopping air infiltration and heat loss, your HVAC system doesn’t have to work as hard—leading to noticeable energy savings.

 

Improved Comfort

Say goodbye to cold walls, drafts, and uneven temperatures between rooms.

 

Noise Reduction

Dense-packed insulation dampens outside noise from traffic, neighbors, and wind.

 

Better Indoor Air Quality

Sealing wall cavities helps prevent dust, allergens, and outdoor pollutants from entering your home.

 

Eco-Friendly Options

Cellulose insulation is made from recycled materials and is one of the greenest insulation choices available.
