Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Olde Towne?

No. Anyone promising that on a Olde Towne job is overselling. Fill the cavity and a room in a Olde Towne home is clearly quieter against airborne noise -- voices, TV and the like. Beyond that point a Olde Towne 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 Olde Towne 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 Olde Towne cavity. Ordinary batt is not useless in a Olde Towne cavity -- the denser product simply achieves more for the same thickness.

Can you insulate between floors in Olde Towne?

Yes. In Olde Towne 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 Olde Towne home as well?

It depends what is bothering you. Where the issue in a Olde Towne 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 Olde Towne property -- the assembly itself has to change.

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

Most Olde Towne party walls have a single cavity; we fill the whole thing instead of splitting it into two jobs. Double-stud walls in Olde Towne get both cavities filled. We also cover Central Heights, Cornerstone, Crystal Ridge and the Okotoks area.

Acoustic insulation in Olde Towne, for rooms that need to be quieter

The bulk of room-to-room noise in a Olde Towne house is airborne: conversation, TV, the washing machine. It costs least to address while the wall is still open. In Olde Towne we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Olde Towne is Okotoks's historic core, where the housing stock is older, so basement ceiling height here is often tighter, so we confirm grid drop clearance carefully before quoting. We cover Olde Towne, Central Heights, Cornerstone, Crystal Ridge and the Okotoks area, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Olde Towne?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Olde Towne 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 Olde Towne wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. In Olde Towne we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Acoustic batt in Olde Towne: what it will do, and what it will not

What it does

Acoustic batt takes airborne noise out of the cavity in a Olde Towne wall: talking, TV, music, appliances. A filled cavity is noticeably quieter than an empty one, and in most Olde Towne 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. Housing in Olde Towne is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

How we install acoustic batt in Olde Towne

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Olde Towne wall. Sound escapes a Olde Towne 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. In Olde Towne we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Olde Towne

In Olde Towne, olde Towne is a residential neighbourhood in Okotoks. Build years vary across the neighbourhood, so rather than assume what is behind the wall we confirm it on site — the finish, the texture and how the existing surface has aged all change how the repair is approached. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

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