Acoustic insulation in Calgary, for rooms that need to be quieter

Acoustic insulation in Calgary, for rooms that need to be quieter

Most of the noise that travels between rooms is airborne — voices, a television, a laundry machine — and the cheapest time to do anything about it is while the wall is open. In Calgary we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Calgary is a city with everything from inner-city character homes to brand-new suburbs, so basement ceiling height here varies from newer open basements to tighter clearance in the older homes nearby. We cover all of Calgary, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Calgary?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Calgary comes down to the wall or floor area being treated, the material — mineral wool costs more than standard batt and performs better for sound — and whether the cavity is already open or has to be opened up. We measure and give a fixed price before we start.

Open walls are far cheaper

Treating a Calgary wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later.

What acoustic batt does — and what it does not

What it does

Acoustic batt absorbs airborne noise inside the cavity — conversation, television, music, appliances. A filled cavity is noticeably quieter than an empty one, and in most Calgary homes it is the single biggest improvement available for the money.

What it does not do on its own

Batt in the cavity will not stop impact noise travelling through the structure — footsteps overhead, a door slamming, something dropped on the floor above. It also will not help if sound is going around the wall through a shared duct, a gap under a door or a hollow-core door itself.

Where the assembly comes in

Stopping impact and structural noise takes changes to how the wall is built — that is our soundproofing work, and the two are usually done together on the same wall.

How we install acoustic batt in Calgary

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Calgary wall. Gaps at the top plate, around outlets or at the edges are where sound gets through, and a compressed batt performs worse than a correctly sized one.

The places most crews skip

The narrow bays beside doors and windows, the space behind electrical boxes and the cavity above a dropped ceiling all get filled — those are the gaps that undo the rest of the work.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Calgary

Between floors

basement ceiling height here varies from newer open basements to tighter clearance in the older homes nearby, so filling the floor cavity between a main floor and a developed basement or a bedroom above is one of the most common calls here.

Party and suite walls

Shared walls between units, or between a legal suite and the rest of a Calgary home, get acoustic batt as standard.

Media rooms, offices and bedrooms

Home theatres, work-from-home offices and bedrooms next to a living area are the rooms people most often want treated.

Laundry and mechanical

A laundry or furnace room wall is one of the cheapest, most noticeable improvements in the house.

Why Calgary homeowners have us do the acoustic insulation

We are the ones closing the wall

As a drywall company we install acoustic batt the way we want to board over it — full fill, no gaps — because we are the trade that closes the wall in Calgary and we do not get a second chance at it.

Straight answers about what will change

We will tell you plainly which noise a filled cavity will help with and which it will not, before you spend anything.

FAQ — Acoustic Insulation Calgary

Acoustic Insulation Calgary: your questions answered

Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Calgary?
No — and anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling it. Filling the cavity makes a room noticeably quieter for airborne noise like voices and television. Getting further than that means changing how the wall is built, which we can also do.
How is acoustic batt different from regular insulation in a Calgary home?
Acoustic batt and mineral wool are denser than standard thermal batt, which is what makes them better at absorbing sound in the cavity. Standard batt does help, but the denser material does more for the same space.
Can you insulate between floors in Calgary?
Yes — the floor cavity between a main floor and a basement or an upstairs bedroom is one of the most common places we install acoustic batt, and it is straightforward while the ceiling is open.
Do I need resilient channel in my Calgary home as well?
It depends what is bothering you. For voices and television through a wall, filling the cavity is usually enough. For footsteps and impact noise from above, the cavity alone will not do it and the assembly has to change too.
Should acoustic batt go in both sides of a party wall in Calgary?
A party wall normally has one cavity, and we fill it completely rather than treating it as two jobs. If the wall is a double-stud assembly we fill both. We also cover Royal Oak, Edgemont, Hawkwood and every Calgary quadrant.
