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

Airborne noise accounts for most of what travels between rooms in a Lakepointe property -- voices, television, appliances -- and an open wall is the cheapest moment to fix it. In Lakepointe we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Lakepointe 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 Lakepointe and all of Chestermere, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Lakepointe?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Lakepointe 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 Lakepointe wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. Basement development is common in Lakepointe, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

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

What it does

What it handles in a Lakepointe 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 Lakepointe 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.

How we install acoustic batt in Lakepointe

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Lakepointe wall. In a Lakepointe 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. Basement development is common in Lakepointe, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Lakepointe

In Lakepointe, lakepointe homeowners bring us a mix of basement development in the walkout lots and standard repair work -- cracks, nail pops and texture matching -- typical of a Chestermere lake community settling in over its first several years. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

We are the ones closing the wall

What to expect from acoustic insulation in Lakepointe

In Lakepointe we see original finishes and recent renovations on the same block, so the acoustic insulation is scoped per house, not per postcode.

Basements in Lakepointe run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.

Acoustic Insulation Lakepointe: your questions answered

Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Lakepointe?
No, and if someone tells you different about your Lakepointe home they are overselling it. A filled cavity produces a noticeable drop in airborne noise in a Lakepointe room, things like conversation and television. To get past that in a Lakepointe property the construction of the wall itself has to change -- something we can handle.
How is acoustic batt different from regular insulation in a Lakepointe home?
In Lakepointe 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 Lakepointe wall the denser material gets more out of the same space.
Can you insulate between floors in Lakepointe?
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 Lakepointe, and simple while the ceiling is open.
Do I need resilient channel in my Lakepointe home as well?
It depends what is bothering you. Filling the cavity is generally sufficient for voices and television coming through a Lakepointe wall. Filling the cavity will not solve footsteps or impact noise from above in a Lakepointe house; that takes a change to the assembly.
Should acoustic batt go in both sides of a party wall in Lakepointe?
There is usually one cavity in a Lakepointe party wall, and it gets filled completely rather than handled as two separate pieces of work. Where a Lakepointe wall is built as a double-stud assembly, both sides are filled. We also cover Kinniburgh, Chestermere Station, Westmere and the Chestermere area.
