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

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

Most of the noise moving between rooms in a Southwinds home is airborne -- voices, a television, a laundry machine -- and the cheapest time to deal with it is while the wall is open. In Southwinds we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Southwinds 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 Southwinds and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Southwinds?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in Southwinds 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 Southwinds wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. Southwinds spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

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

What it does

In a Southwinds 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 Southwinds 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 Southwinds

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Southwinds wall. Gaps at the top plate, around outlets or at the edges are where sound gets through in a Southwinds 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 Southwinds we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Southwinds

In Southwinds, whatever the drywall problem in your Southwinds home, we fix it cleanly and leave it paint-ready. We handle renovation and new-construction drywall, boarding and finishing on schedule. We repair holes, stress cracks, nail pops and water stains, then texture-match so the fix disappears. Fast, clean and paint-ready, most repairs in a single visit. Free on-site quote, one fixed price, and work that holds up after.

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

FAQ — Acoustic Insulation Southwinds

Acoustic Insulation Southwinds: your questions answered

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