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

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

Most of the noise moving between rooms in a Ravenswood home is airborne -- voices, a television, a laundry machine -- and the cheapest time to deal with it is while the wall is open. In Ravenswood we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Ravenswood is a newer Airdrie community where settling cracks, nail pops and basement finishing are common, so basements here usually have enough ceiling height for a standard drop grid. We cover Ravenswood and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Ravenswood?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Ravenswood 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 Ravenswood wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. Stipple ceilings turn up throughout Ravenswood, often with several layers from past repairs.

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

What it does

In a Ravenswood 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 Ravenswood 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. Popcorn ceilings are still in place in parts of Ravenswood, and anything from that era gets treated carefully until its age is known.

How we install acoustic batt in Ravenswood

Full cavity, cut to fit

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

In Ravenswood, drywall repair and finishing in Ravenswood is handled the same careful way on every job.

Ravenswood: what shapes the job

Housing in Ravenswood is mixed enough that two jobs on the same street can need completely different acoustic insulation work.

Where Ravenswood still has stipple, we check how many coats are already on it before deciding whether to match it or take it back.

Removal is a frequent request in Ravenswood, and the age of the ceiling decides how the work is approached rather than how it is priced.

FAQ — Acoustic Insulation Ravenswood

Acoustic Insulation Ravenswood: your questions answered

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