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

The bulk of room-to-room noise in a Stonegate house is airborne: conversation, TV, the washing machine. It costs least to address while the wall is still open. In Stonegate we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. Stonegate is a newer Airdrie community where basement development and finishing are common, so basements here usually have enough ceiling height for a standard drop grid. We cover Stonegate and all of Airdrie, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in Stonegate?

Area, material and access

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

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

What it does

Acoustic batt takes airborne noise out of the cavity in a Stonegate wall: talking, TV, music, appliances. A filled cavity is noticeably quieter than an empty one, and in most Stonegate 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. Stonegate spans a range of build eras, so what is behind the wall differs street to street.

How we install acoustic batt in Stonegate

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your Stonegate wall. Sound escapes a Stonegate 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. In Stonegate we see everything from original finishes to recent renovations on the same block.

Common acoustic insulation situations in Stonegate

In Stonegate, homeowners across Stonegate call us for drywall done right the first time. We repair holes, stress cracks, nail pops and water stains, then texture-match so the fix disappears. We patch, texture-match, prime and paint in one visit so the wall looks completely finished. Fast, clean and paint-ready, most repairs in a single visit. That is the standard on every job here, big or small — on-site quote, fixed price.

Acoustic Insulation Stonegate: your questions answered

Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in Stonegate?
No. Anyone promising that on a Stonegate job is overselling. Fill the cavity and a room in a Stonegate home is clearly quieter against airborne noise -- voices, TV and the like. Beyond that point a Stonegate 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 Stonegate 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 Stonegate cavity. Ordinary batt is not useless in a Stonegate cavity -- the denser product simply achieves more for the same thickness.
Can you insulate between floors in Stonegate?
Yes. In Stonegate 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 Stonegate home as well?
It depends what is bothering you. Where the issue in a Stonegate 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 Stonegate property -- the assembly itself has to change.
Should acoustic batt go in both sides of a party wall in Stonegate?
Most Stonegate party walls have a single cavity; we fill the whole thing instead of splitting it into two jobs. Double-stud walls in Stonegate get both cavities filled. We also cover Bayside, Kings Heights, Coopers Crossing and the Airdrie area.
