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

The bulk of room-to-room noise in a Lakeview Landing house is airborne: conversation, TV, the washing machine. It costs least to address while the wall is still open. In Lakeview Landing we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Lakeview 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 Lakeview Landing and all of Chestermere, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Lakeview Landing?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Lakeview 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 Lakeview Landing wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. New homes in Lakeview Landing tend to have long unbroken wall runs and high ceilings, which changes how a seam has to be feathered.

Acoustic batt in Lakeview Landing: what it will do, and what it will not

What it does

Acoustic batt takes airborne noise out of the cavity in a Lakeview Landing wall: talking, TV, music, appliances. A filled cavity is noticeably quieter than an empty one, and in most Lakeview 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. Basement development is common in Lakeview Landing, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

How we install acoustic batt in Lakeview 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 Lakeview Landing wall. Sound escapes a Lakeview Landing wall at the top plate, around outlets and along the edges, and a crushed batt does less than one cut to size.

The places most crews skip

Narrow bays beside doors and windows, the void behind electrical boxes and the cavity over a dropped ceiling all get filled, because those gaps cancel everything else. Because Lakeview Landing is largely new construction, the board is still settling and hairline cracking at corners is the normal first-year complaint.

What to expect from acoustic insulation in Lakeview Landing

Lakeview Landing is recent enough that we are normally working with original, untouched surfaces — which makes matching straightforward and keeps the acoustic insulation quicker than it would be in an older area.

A lot of the work in Lakeview Landing starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing and ducting above it.

Builder deficiency work is common in Lakeview Landing — nail pops, corner cracks and seams that only appeared after possession.

Acoustic Insulation Lakeview Landing: your questions answered

Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Lakeview Landing?
No. Anyone promising that on a Lakeview Landing job is overselling. Fill the cavity and a room in a Lakeview Landing home is clearly quieter against airborne noise -- voices, TV and the like. Beyond that point a Lakeview Landing wall has to be built differently, and that is work we take on as well.
How is acoustic batt different from regular insulation in a Lakeview Landing home?
The density is the point: acoustic batt and mineral wool are heavier than ordinary thermal batt, which is why they absorb more sound in a Lakeview Landing cavity. Ordinary batt is not useless in a Lakeview Landing cavity -- the denser product simply achieves more for the same thickness.
Can you insulate between floors in Lakeview Landing?
Yes. In Lakeview Landing homes the floor cavity between main floor and basement, or below an upstairs bedroom, is among the most common installs, and it is easy work with the ceiling open.
Do I need resilient channel in my Lakeview Landing home as well?
It depends what is bothering you. Where the issue in a Lakeview Landing home is conversation or TV through the wall, a filled cavity normally handles it. Impact noise and footsteps from overhead need more than a filled cavity in a Lakeview Landing property -- the assembly itself has to change.
Should acoustic batt go in both sides of a party wall in Lakeview Landing?
Most Lakeview Landing party walls have a single cavity; we fill the whole thing instead of splitting it into two jobs. Double-stud walls in Lakeview Landing get both cavities filled. We also cover Kinniburgh, Chestermere Station, Westmere and the Chestermere area.
