Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Rundle?

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

Can you insulate between floors in Rundle?

Yes. In Rundle 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 Rundle home as well?

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

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

Most Rundle party walls have a single cavity; we fill the whole thing instead of splitting it into two jobs. Double-stud walls in Rundle get both cavities filled. We also cover Homestead, Moraine, Twinhills and every Calgary quadrant.

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

The bulk of room-to-room noise in a Rundle house is airborne: conversation, TV, the washing machine. It costs least to address while the wall is still open. In Rundle we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Rundle is an established NE Calgary community of older homes where repair and stipple-ceiling work are common, so basement ceiling height here is often tighter, so we confirm grid drop clearance carefully before quoting. We cover Rundle, Homestead, Moraine, Twinhills and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Rundle?

Area, material and access

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

Acoustic batt in Rundle: what it will do, and what it will not

What it does

Acoustic batt takes airborne noise out of the cavity in a Rundle wall: talking, TV, music, appliances. A filled cavity is noticeably quieter than an empty one, and in most Rundle 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.

How we install acoustic batt in Rundle

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Rundle wall. Sound escapes a Rundle 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. Housing in Rundle is mixed, which is why we look before we quote rather than after.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Rundle

In Rundle, by now most Rundle homes have been through at least one round of renovation, so we regularly patch drywall left rough behind old cabinetry or flooring trim, and skim whole rooms flat when owners are finally removing the original textured ceiling. We handle all of it the same careful way — on-site quote, fixed price, done right.

Why Rundle 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 Rundle 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.
