Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Midtown?

No, and if someone tells you different about your Midtown home they are overselling it. A filled cavity produces a noticeable drop in airborne noise in a Midtown room, things like conversation and television. To get past that in a Midtown property the construction of the wall itself has to change -- something we can handle.

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

In Midtown 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 Midtown wall the denser material gets more out of the same space.

Can you insulate between floors in Midtown?

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 Midtown, and simple while the ceiling is open.

Do I need resilient channel in my Midtown home as well?

It depends what is bothering you. Filling the cavity is generally sufficient for voices and television coming through a Midtown wall. Filling the cavity will not solve footsteps or impact noise from above in a Midtown house; that takes a change to the assembly.

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

There is usually one cavity in a Midtown party wall, and it gets filled completely rather than handled as two separate pieces of work. Where a Midtown wall is built as a double-stud assembly, both sides are filled. We also cover Bayside, Kings Heights, Coopers Crossing and the Airdrie area.

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

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

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Midtown?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Midtown 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 Midtown wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. Housing in Midtown is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

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

What it does

What it handles in a Midtown 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 Midtown 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. Midtown spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

How we install acoustic batt in Midtown

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Midtown wall. In a Midtown 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.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Midtown

In Midtown, midtown Airdrie sees a mix of renovation-driven drywall work and repair calls, from post-renovation patching after plumbing or electrical work to full room re-boards when older walls need replacing rather than repairing. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.

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

We will tell you plainly which noise a filled cavity will help with and which it will not, before you spend anything.

Fixed price, same-day reply
