Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Drake Landing?

No -- that is oversold, whatever you may have been told about your Drake Landing property. In a Drake Landing house, filling the cavity gives a real reduction in airborne noise such as voices and TV. Improving on that in a Drake Landing home requires altering the wall build-up, which is also within what we do.

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

Acoustic batt and mineral wool carry more density than standard thermal batt, and that is what makes them work harder against sound in a Drake Landing cavity. In a Drake Landing home standard batt makes a difference, but denser material makes a bigger one in the same cavity.

Can you insulate between floors in Drake Landing?

Yes, and it is common: the floor cavity above a Drake Landing basement or beneath an upstairs bedroom is a routine install, straightforward while the ceiling is still open.

Do I need resilient channel in my Drake Landing home as well?

It depends what is bothering you. In most Drake Landing homes, voices and TV through a wall are dealt with by filling the cavity. Where the problem in a Drake Landing home is footfall or impact from above, the cavity alone is not the answer and the build-up has to change.

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

A Drake Landing party wall generally means one cavity -- filled in full, not treated as two jobs. A double-stud Drake Landing wall means two cavities, and both are filled. We also cover Central Heights, Cornerstone, Crystal Ridge and the Okotoks area.

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

In a Drake Landing home most inter-room noise is airborne, things like talking, TV and laundry machines, and doing something about it is cheapest with the wall 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.

The honest limits of acoustic batt in a Drake Landing home

What it does

Inside the cavity of a Drake Landing wall, acoustic batt absorbs airborne noise such as conversation, TV, music and 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. Top plate, outlets and edges are where sound gets past in a Drake Landing wall, and a batt squeezed in performs worse than one sized properly.

The places most crews skip

The slim bays next to doors and windows, behind electrical boxes and above a dropped ceiling are all filled -- those are the gaps that undo everything else. 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
