Acoustic insulation in The Summit of RiverSong, for rooms that need to be quieter

Acoustic insulation in The Summit of RiverSong, for rooms that need to be quieter

Most of the noise that travels between rooms is airborne — voices, a television, a laundry machine — and the cheapest time to do anything about it is while the wall is open. In The Summit of RiverSong we install acoustic batt and mineral wool into wall and floor cavities, filled edge to edge and uncompressed, before the board goes up. The Summit of RiverSong is a Cochrane community where reno, repair and finishing drywall are common, so basement ceiling height here varies from newer open basements to tighter clearance in the older homes nearby. We cover The Summit of RiverSong and all of Cochrane, 7 days a week.

What affects the cost of acoustic insulation in The Summit of RiverSong?

Area, material and access

Acoustic insulation cost in The Summit of RiverSong 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 The Summit of RiverSong wall that is already open during a renovation or a new build costs a fraction of coming back to it later. Basement development is common in The Summit of RiverSong, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

What acoustic batt does — and what it does not

What it does

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 The Summit of RiverSong 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. Basement development is common in The Summit of RiverSong, and a basement behaves differently from the rest of the house — cooler, damper, and less forgiving of a rushed finish.

How we install acoustic batt in The Summit of RiverSong

Full cavity, cut to fit

We cut each piece to the cavity and friction-fit it so it fills the bay completely in your The Summit of RiverSong wall. Gaps at the top plate, around outlets or at the edges are where sound gets through, 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. A lot of our The Summit of RiverSong work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.

How The Summit of RiverSong homes affect the work

Homes in The Summit of RiverSong have had time to settle without accumulating decades of patch-ups, which is the easiest condition to get an invisible acoustic insulation result in.

Basements in The Summit of RiverSong run cooler and damper than the rest of the house, and that affects both the board choice and how long each coat needs.

FAQ — Acoustic Insulation The Summit of RiverSong

Acoustic Insulation The Summit of RiverSong: your questions answered

Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in The Summit of RiverSong?
No — and anyone who tells you otherwise is overselling it. Filling the cavity makes a room noticeably quieter for airborne noise like voices and television. Getting further than that means changing how the wall is built, which we can also do.
How is acoustic batt different from regular insulation in a The Summit of RiverSong home?
Acoustic batt and mineral wool are denser than standard thermal batt, which is what makes them better at absorbing sound in the cavity. Standard batt does help, but the denser material does more for the same space.
Can you insulate between floors in The Summit of RiverSong?
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, and it is straightforward while the ceiling is open.
Do I need resilient channel in my The Summit of RiverSong home as well?
It depends what is bothering you. For voices and television through a wall, filling the cavity is usually enough. For footsteps and impact noise from above, 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 The Summit of RiverSong?
A party wall normally has one cavity, and we fill it completely rather than treating it as two jobs. If the wall is a double-stud assembly we fill both. We also cover Cochrane, Sunset Ridge, Heritage Hills and the Cochrane area.
We want a flawless finish on our vaulted ceiling in The Summit of RiverSong -- what do you recommend?
For vaulted ceilings and feature walls under strong light we recommend a full Level 5 skim coat -- it's the smoothest finish available and a common choice in The Summit of RiverSong's higher-end homes.
