Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Currie?

No, and if someone tells you different about your Currie home they are overselling it. A filled cavity produces a noticeable drop in airborne noise in a Currie room, things like conversation and television. To get past that in a Currie property the construction of the wall itself has to change -- something we can handle.

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

In Currie walls, acoustic batt and mineral wool outperform standard thermal batt because they are denser, and density is what absorbs sound. Standard batt helps, though in a Currie wall the denser material gets more out of the same space.

Can you insulate between floors in Currie?

Yes -- floor cavities between the main floor and a basement, or under an upstairs bedroom, are one of our most frequent acoustic batt jobs in Currie, and simple while the ceiling is open.

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

It depends what is bothering you. Filling the cavity is generally sufficient for voices and television coming through a Currie wall. Filling the cavity will not solve footsteps or impact noise from above in a Currie house; that takes a change to the assembly.

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

There is usually one cavity in a Currie party wall, and it gets filled completely rather than handled as two separate pieces of work. Where a Currie wall is built as a double-stud assembly, both sides are filled. We also cover Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant.

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

Airborne noise accounts for most of what travels between rooms in a Currie property -- voices, television, appliances -- and an open wall is the cheapest moment to fix it. In Currie we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Currie is one of SW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so basements here are typically open-concept with generous ceiling height for a drop grid. We cover Currie, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Currie?

Area, material and access

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

What acoustic batt achieves in a Currie wall -- and what it cannot

What it does

What it handles in a Currie wall is airborne noise within the cavity -- voices, television, music and appliances. A filled cavity is noticeably quieter than an empty one, and in most Currie 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. In Currie we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

How we install acoustic batt in Currie

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Currie wall. In a Currie wall the leaks are at the top plate, around outlets and at the perimeter -- and compressing a batt makes it worse, not better.

The places most crews skip

We fill the tight bays beside doors and windows, the space behind electrical boxes and the cavity above a dropped ceiling; leave those and the rest of the work is wasted.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Currie

In Currie, first-year settling is the most common call we get in Currie — hairline cracks at corners and nail pops as the frame and drywall finish drying out, both quick, tidy repairs that blend in completely once painted. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.

Why Currie 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 Currie and we do not get a second chance at it.

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 Currie and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week. On-site quotes across Currie are free, and you have a fixed price before anything starts. Currie spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.
