Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Patterson?

No -- and anyone telling a Patterson homeowner otherwise is overselling it. Filling the cavity makes a Patterson room noticeably quieter for airborne noise like voices and television. Going further than that in a Patterson home means changing how the wall is built, which we can also do.

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

Acoustic batt and mineral wool are denser than standard thermal batt, and in a Patterson wall that density is what makes them better at absorbing sound. Standard batt does help in a Patterson wall, but the denser material does more in the same space.

Can you insulate between floors in Patterson?

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 in Patterson, and it is straightforward while the ceiling is open.

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

It depends what is bothering you. For voices and television through a Patterson wall, filling the cavity is usually enough. For footsteps and impact noise from above in a Patterson home, 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 Patterson?

A party wall in a Patterson home normally has one cavity, and we fill it completely rather than treating it as two jobs. If the Patterson wall is a double-stud assembly we fill both cavities. We also cover Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant.

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

Most of the noise moving between rooms in a Patterson home is airborne -- voices, a television, a laundry machine -- and the cheapest time to deal with it is while the wall is open. In Patterson we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Patterson is an established SW Calgary community where reno, repair and ceiling drywall are common, so basement ceiling height here varies enough that we confirm grid drop clearance on site before quoting. We cover Patterson, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Patterson?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Patterson 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 Patterson wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later.

What acoustic batt does in a Patterson home -- and what it does not

What it does

In a Patterson home 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 Patterson 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. Patterson spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

How we install acoustic batt in Patterson

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Patterson wall. Gaps at the top plate, around outlets or at the edges are where sound gets through in a Patterson wall, 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. Housing in Patterson is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Patterson

In Patterson, in Patterson we regularly get called back to a home we or another contractor worked on decades ago — the drywall itself holds up fine, it's usually the texture or a settling crack that needs attention now. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

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