Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Cornerstone?

No. Anyone promising that on a Cornerstone job is overselling. Fill the cavity and a room in a Cornerstone home is clearly quieter against airborne noise -- voices, TV and the like. Beyond that point a Cornerstone wall has to be built differently, and that is work we take on as well.

How is acoustic batt different from regular insulation in a Cornerstone home?

The density is the point: acoustic batt and mineral wool are heavier than ordinary thermal batt, which is why they absorb more sound in a Cornerstone cavity. Ordinary batt is not useless in a Cornerstone cavity -- the denser product simply achieves more for the same thickness.

Can you insulate between floors in Cornerstone?

Yes. In Cornerstone homes the floor cavity between main floor and basement, or below an upstairs bedroom, is among the most common installs, and it is easy work with the ceiling open.

Do I need resilient channel in my Cornerstone home as well?

It depends what is bothering you. Where the issue in a Cornerstone home is conversation or TV through the wall, a filled cavity normally handles it. Impact noise and footsteps from overhead need more than a filled cavity in a Cornerstone property -- the assembly itself has to change.

Should acoustic batt go in both sides of a party wall in Cornerstone?

Most Cornerstone party walls have a single cavity; we fill the whole thing instead of splitting it into two jobs. Double-stud walls in Cornerstone get both cavities filled. We also cover Central Heights, Crystal Ridge, Downey Ridge and the Okotoks area.

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

The bulk of room-to-room noise in a Cornerstone house is airborne: conversation, TV, the washing machine. It costs least to address while the wall is still open. In Cornerstone we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Cornerstone is an Okotoks residential community, so basements here usually have enough ceiling height for a standard drop grid. We cover Cornerstone, Central Heights, Crystal Ridge, Downey Ridge and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Cornerstone?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. Cornerstone spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Acoustic batt in Cornerstone: what it will do, and what it will not

What it does

Acoustic batt takes airborne noise out of the cavity in a Cornerstone wall: talking, TV, music, appliances. A filled cavity is noticeably quieter than an empty one, and in most Cornerstone 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. Housing in Cornerstone is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

How we install acoustic batt in Cornerstone

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Cornerstone wall. Sound escapes a Cornerstone wall at the top plate, around outlets and along the edges, and a crushed batt does less than one cut to size.

The places most crews skip

Narrow bays beside doors and windows, the void behind electrical boxes and the cavity over a dropped ceiling all get filled, because those gaps cancel everything else. Cornerstone spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Cornerstone

In Cornerstone, cornerstone is a residential neighbourhood in Okotoks. Build years vary across the neighbourhood, so rather than assume what is behind the wall we confirm it on site — the finish, the texture and how the existing surface has aged all change how the repair is approached. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.

Why Cornerstone 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 Cornerstone 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.

Fixed price, same-day reply

We cover Cornerstone and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week. We quote Cornerstone jobs at the property free of charge, with a fixed price before work begins. Cornerstone spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.
