Acoustic insulation in Nolan Hill, for rooms that need to be quieter

Acoustic insulation in Nolan Hill, for rooms that need to be quieter

Most of the noise that travels between rooms is airborne — voices, a television, a laundry machine — and the cheapest time to do anything about it is while the wall is open. In Nolan Hill we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Nolan Hill is one of NW Calgary's newer communities, where fresh installation and first-year settling work are common, so basements here are typically open-concept with generous ceiling height for a drop grid. We cover Nolan Hill, Glacier Ridge, Medicine Hill, Haskayne and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Nolan Hill?

Area, material and access

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

What acoustic batt does — and what it does not

What it does

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 Nolan Hill 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. A lot of our Nolan Hill work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

How we install acoustic batt in Nolan Hill

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Nolan Hill wall. Gaps at the top plate, around outlets or at the edges are where sound gets through, 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.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Nolan Hill

In Nolan Hill, nolan Hill is a community still being built out in the 2020s. Homes there are current-build, so ceilings are typically knockdown and the work is new-build boarding and taping, basement development, and the first-season movement that shows up as a house dries out. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.

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

Straight answers about what will change

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

We cover Nolan Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week. Free on-site quotes and a fixed price before any work starts. Basement development is common in Nolan Hill, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

In Nolan Hill

What we tend to find in Nolan Hill

In a newly built Nolan Hill home the drywall has not yet been through a full winter, so we plan the acoustic insulation around settling that is still happening rather than settling that has finished.

Ceilings here are typically knockdown, and matching that spray pattern is the part people notice if it is done badly — so we test the match before committing to the whole ceiling.

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

FAQ — Acoustic Insulation Nolan Hill

Acoustic Insulation Nolan Hill: your questions answered

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