Acoustic insulation in Summerlea, the cavity half of the job

Acoustic insulation is one lever of four. Mass, decoupling, damping and sealing are the others, and a cavity full of good batts behind an unsealed perimeter still leaks sound. We would rather explain that first than have you pay for batts and be disappointed.

Acoustic Insulation Summerlea 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.

I insulated the wall and still hear next door. Why?

Usually a flanking path — a shared floor, a continuous ceiling cavity, a duct crossing both rooms, or the gap under the door. The weakest path sets the result, so we look for it before recommending the wall.

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.

Will insulation stop the echo in my room?

No — that is a different problem. Cavity insulation reduces sound passing through a wall; echo inside a room needs surface treatment. We ask which one you have before quoting, because buying the wrong one is common.

We insulated the wall and can still hear each other. Why?

Often a shared duct run. Sound travels down the metal and through the openings, going around the wall entirely. That is a mechanical fix — lined duct or a silencer — not an insulation one.

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.
