Acoustic insulation in Drake Landing, for rooms that need to be quieter

Acoustic insulation in Drake Landing, 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 Drake Landing we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Drake Landing is a Calgary community with a mix of older homes and newer builds, so basement ceiling height here varies from newer open basements to tighter clearance in the older homes nearby. We cover Drake Landing, Central Heights, Cornerstone, Crystal Ridge and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Drake Landing?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Drake Landing 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 Drake Landing wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. In Drake Landing condos and townhomes there is usually a building rule about work hours and access to plan around.

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 Drake Landing 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 Drake Landing basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

How we install acoustic batt in Drake Landing

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Drake Landing 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. In Drake Landing condos and townhomes there is usually a building rule about work hours and access to plan around.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Drake Landing

Drake Landing, in southwest Okotoks, is home to Canada’s first community-scale solar district heating system -- the neighbourhood is now well established, so our calls here run to settling-crack repair, basement development and renovation drywall on single-family and townhome builds. One fixed price after an honest on-site look, and the job done right the first time.

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

What we tend to find in Drake Landing

In an established area like Drake Landing the original finish is usually still on the wall, which makes matching the existing texture the deciding factor in how the acoustic insulation is approached.

Multi-family units in Drake Landing bring shared walls into it, where sound transfer matters as much as the finish.

FAQ — Acoustic Insulation Drake Landing

Acoustic Insulation Drake Landing: your questions answered

Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Drake Landing?
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 Drake Landing 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 Drake Landing?
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 Drake Landing 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 Drake Landing?
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 Central Heights, Cornerstone, Crystal Ridge and the Okotoks area.
Do you work on the townhomes in Drake Landing, not just single-family homes?
Yes -- we do drywall repair, texture matching and basement work in both the single-family and townhome sections of Drake Landing.
