Acoustic insulation in Garrison Green, for rooms that need to be quieter

Most of the noise moving between rooms in a Garrison Green home is airborne -- voices, a television, a laundry machine -- and the cheapest time to deal with it is while the wall is open. In Garrison Green we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Garrison Green is a newer SW Calgary community where settling cracks, nail pops and basement finishing are common, so basements here usually have enough ceiling height for a standard drop grid. We cover Garrison Green, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Garrison Green?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Garrison Green 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 Garrison Green wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. Homes in Garrison Green are current-build, which usually means larger unbroken wall spans and higher ceilings.

What acoustic batt does in a Garrison Green home -- and what it does not

What it does

In a Garrison Green home 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 Garrison Green 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. Most of Garrison Green is recent construction, so the board is still going through its first settling season.

How we install acoustic batt in Garrison Green

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Garrison Green wall. Gaps at the top plate, around outlets or at the edges are where sound gets through in a Garrison Green wall, 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. Homes in Garrison Green are current-build, which usually means larger unbroken wall spans and higher ceilings.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Garrison Green

In Garrison Green, because Garrison Green is still building out, a lot of our work here is fresh installation and new-construction boarding for the newest phases, alongside repair and Level 5 finishing for the earlier-built homes next door. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

Acoustic Insulation Garrison Green: your questions answered

Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Garrison Green?
No -- and anyone telling a Garrison Green homeowner otherwise is overselling it. Filling the cavity makes a Garrison Green room noticeably quieter for airborne noise like voices and television. Going further than that in a Garrison Green home means changing how the wall is built, which we can also do.
How is acoustic batt different from regular insulation in a Garrison Green home?
Acoustic batt and mineral wool are denser than standard thermal batt, and in a Garrison Green wall that density is what makes them better at absorbing sound. Standard batt does help in a Garrison Green wall, but the denser material does more in the same space.
Can you insulate between floors in Garrison Green?
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 in Garrison Green, and it is straightforward while the ceiling is open.
Do I need resilient channel in my Garrison Green home as well?
It depends what is bothering you. For voices and television through a Garrison Green wall, filling the cavity is usually enough. For footsteps and impact noise from above in a Garrison Green home, 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 Garrison Green?
A party wall in a Garrison Green home normally has one cavity, and we fill it completely rather than treating it as two jobs. If the Garrison Green wall is a double-stud assembly we fill both cavities. We also cover Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant.
