Will acoustic insulation make the room completely quiet in The Summit of RiverSong?

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

How is acoustic batt different from regular insulation in a The Summit of RiverSong 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 The Summit of RiverSong cavity. In a The Summit of RiverSong home standard batt makes a difference, but denser material makes a bigger one in the same cavity.

Can you insulate between floors in The Summit of RiverSong?

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

Do I need resilient channel in my The Summit of RiverSong home as well?

It depends what is bothering you. In most The Summit of RiverSong homes, voices and TV through a wall are dealt with by filling the cavity. Where the problem in a The Summit of RiverSong 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 The Summit of RiverSong?

A The Summit of RiverSong party wall generally means one cavity -- filled in full, not treated as two jobs. A double-stud The Summit of RiverSong wall means two cavities, and both are filled. We also cover Cochrane, Sunset Ridge, Heritage Hills and the Cochrane area.

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

In a The Summit of RiverSong 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 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.

The honest limits of acoustic batt in a The Summit of RiverSong home

What it does

Inside the cavity of a The Summit of RiverSong 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 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. Top plate, outlets and edges are where sound gets past in a The Summit of RiverSong 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 The Summit of RiverSong work starts in the basement, where the ceiling has to stay openable for the plumbing above it.
