Sound-dampening walls and acoustic insulation for Hawkwood homes — retrofit upgrades for 1990s builds, media rooms and basement privacy. Free quote.
Hawkwood’s homes are predominantly from the late 1980s and early 1990s. Interior walls in these builds are typically single-layer 1/2″ drywall with fibreglass batt insulation — or in some cases no insulation at all in interior partitions. Sound carries easily between rooms, between floors, and from an open-plan main floor into bedrooms. This is a common and fixable problem in Hawkwood.
The most practical retrofit soundproofing approach in a Hawkwood home is a second layer of acoustic board over the existing drywall on the party wall between rooms. We add the layer, extend electrical boxes, tape and mud the new surface, and match the texture of the adjacent wall. No gut renovation required — we work around the existing finish.
For Hawkwood homeowners finishing or upgrading their basements, acoustic insulation in the floor joist cavities before the basement ceiling goes up is a meaningful upgrade that costs very little at the right stage and is expensive to add later. We recommend it when quoting basement drywall in Hawkwood.
