Acoustic Insulation Hairsine Edmonton

Sound batts in Hairsine bedrooms, offices and theatres

Acoustic batts absorb airborne noise inside a wall cavity — voices, television, music. They do very little for footsteps or bass, which travel through the structure. In Hairsine we ask what you are hearing before quoting, because insulation alone is the wrong answer to half the problems people call about.

Acoustic Insulation Hairsine Edmonton: your questions answered

Which single wall is the best value to do?

A bedroom sharing a wall with a living room or kitchen, especially if that wall is already open for other work. The noise is airborne, the improvement is obvious, and it is a small addition to work already scheduled.

Will acoustic batts stop my home office calls being overheard?

They work well on that, because voices are airborne. Once the wall is filled the door usually becomes the limiting factor — a hollow-core door with a gap underneath undoes a lot of the wall.

Is acoustic batt different from ordinary insulation?

Yes, it is denser, which is what makes it better at absorbing sound. Ordinary fibreglass in a cavity still helps compared to an empty bay, but acoustic or mineral wool batts do more per inch.

Can you stop footsteps from upstairs?

Partly. Insulation in the joist space handles the airborne half — voices, television. Footsteps are impact noise through structure, which needs decoupling or floor treatment above. We explain which half we can address from below.

Do I need to seal as well, or is the insulation enough?

You need to seal. A perfectly filled cavity behind an unsealed perimeter still leaks sound — gaps at the floor and ceiling and back-to-back outlets carry it straight past the batts.

Will it stop the bass from my basement theatre?

Not on its own. Batts work well on speech and mid frequencies; low frequency travels through structure and needs mass and decoupling too. We would rather set that expectation at the quote than after.
