Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Silverado?

No -- that is oversold, whatever you may have been told about your Silverado property. In a Silverado house, filling the cavity gives a real reduction in airborne noise such as voices and TV. Improving on that in a Silverado home requires altering the wall build-up, which is also within what we do.

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

Acoustic batt and mineral wool carry more density than standard thermal batt, and that is what makes them work harder against sound in a Silverado cavity. In a Silverado home standard batt makes a difference, but denser material makes a bigger one in the same cavity.

Can you insulate between floors in Silverado?

Yes, and it is common: the floor cavity above a Silverado basement or beneath an upstairs bedroom is a routine install, straightforward while the ceiling is still open.

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

It depends what is bothering you. In most Silverado homes, voices and TV through a wall are dealt with by filling the cavity. Where the problem in a Silverado home is footfall or impact from above, the cavity alone is not the answer and the build-up has to change.

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

A Silverado party wall generally means one cavity -- filled in full, not treated as two jobs. A double-stud Silverado wall means two cavities, and both are filled. We also cover Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant.

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

In a Silverado home most inter-room noise is airborne, things like talking, TV and laundry machines, and doing something about it is cheapest with the wall open. In Silverado we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Silverado is one of SW 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 Silverado, Pine Creek, Alpine Park, Osprey Hill and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Silverado?

Area, material and access

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

The honest limits of acoustic batt in a Silverado home

What it does

Inside the cavity of a Silverado wall, acoustic batt absorbs airborne noise such as conversation, TV, music and appliances. A filled cavity is noticeably quieter than an empty one, and in most Silverado 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. In Silverado basements the deciding detail is usually access: what has to stay reachable once the ceiling is closed up.

How we install acoustic batt in Silverado

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Silverado wall. Top plate, outlets and edges are where sound gets past in a Silverado wall, and a batt squeezed in performs worse than one sized properly.

The places most crews skip

The slim bays next to doors and windows, behind electrical boxes and above a dropped ceiling are all filled -- those are the gaps that undo everything else. A lot of our Silverado work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Silverado

In Silverado, basement development is a popular first or second project for Silverado owners once they have settled in — we board, tape, mud and finish to a smooth, paint-ready Level 4 or 5 to match the upstairs. Assessed on site, priced up front, and finished properly — every time.

Why Silverado 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 Silverado 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.

Fixed price, same-day reply

We cover Silverado and every Calgary quadrant, 7 days a week. Quotes at your Silverado property cost nothing, and the price is fixed before work commences.
