Soundproofing in Wedgewood Heights, built around the noise you actually have

Soundproofing fails in Wedgewood Heights for one reason more than any other: the assembly treated the wrong path. Insulation in a cavity helps with airborne noise like voices and television. It does very little for footsteps overhead or bass through a shared wall, which travel through the structure itself. We ask what you are hearing before specifying anything.

Sealing: the cheapest gain and the most skipped

Sound follows air

If air can get through, so can sound. Perimeter gaps, back-to-back outlets, pot lights and the space under a door leak more than most people expect in a Wedgewood Heights room.

What we seal

Acoustic sealant runs at the floor and ceiling perimeter, around every penetration and behind outlet boxes, before the finish goes on. It costs little relative to the assembly and it is the difference between a wall that measures well and one that only looks the part.

Wedgewood Heights drywall in context

About Wedgewood Heights

Most of the roads in Wedgewood Heights are named in honour of well-known Edmontonians.

What we see in Wedgewood Heights

In Wedgewood Heights the drywall work is popcorn and stipple ceiling removal, settling+truss-uplift cracks, nail pops, Poly-B repipe patching repipe patching. We confirm what your home actually needs on site, in writing, before anything starts.

Measuring before and after

Avoiding an argument

Sound is subjective and memory is unreliable, so people often cannot tell whether a completed job helped.

A simple discipline

A source at a known level, a phone meter, the same spot, before and after. It is rough but it is consistent, and it turns the result on an Wedgewood Heights job into a number rather than an impression.

Resilient channel, and how it gets ruined

What it does

Resilient channel holds the board slightly off the framing so vibration has no direct path across. In a Wedgewood Heights ceiling it is one of the most cost-effective things you can do about footsteps.

The mistake that cancels it

A single screw driven long enough to catch the joist behind the channel short-circuits it and that section performs as if the channel were not there. Screw length and placement is the whole job — which is why we would rather install it than inherit it.

Sealing beats everything you can buy

Air carries sound

A gap under a door, an unsealed outlet, a duct boot or a gap at the floor perimeter will undo a wall you spent money on.

Why it goes first

In an Wedgewood Heights room, sealing the leaks costs a fraction of adding a layer of board and frequently produces a bigger change. We check for the leaks before quoting an assembly.

Why Wedgewood Heights homeowners trust Emplastrum for soundproofing in Edmonton

Built and sealed to actually work

Soundproofing is in the details — the decoupling and the sealing — and as a finishing specialist we build the assembly properly and finish it flat in Wedgewood Heights, so it works and looks clean.

What soundproofing will and will not do in Edmonton

Reduction, not silence

A well-built Wedgewood Heights assembly makes normal speech unintelligible and takes the edge off television and music. It will not make a room silent, and low-frequency bass is the hardest and most expensive thing to control.

Why we say this first

Setting the expectation before the work is the difference between a good result and a disappointed one. We would rather tell you a wall will help with voices but not with a subwoofer than have you find that out afterwards.

Soundproofing Wedgewood Heights Edmonton: your questions answered

Do you stand behind your soundproofing in Wedgewood Heights in Edmonton?
Yes. We finish every Wedgewood Heights job flat and paint-ready, and if something is not right we come back and make it right.
Does soundproofing drywall actually work in Edmonton?
Yes — provided the Drywall Wedgewood Heights build is sealed and assembled right. Resilient-channel decoupling, dampening board and full edge sealing — the Drywall Wedgewood Heights way to actually cut noise instead of just layering sheet.
Will insulation alone soundproof my Wedgewood Heights wall?
It helps with airborne noise like voices and television, and does very little for footsteps or bass, which travel through the structure. If impact noise is the complaint, the assembly needs decoupling rather than more batts.
Can you soundproof without opening the wall?
Partly. Adding a second layer of board with damping compound and sealing the perimeter gives a real improvement for airborne noise. It does much less for impact noise, because nothing has been decoupled. We will tell you which one you are dealing with.
Should Drywall Wedgewood Heights soundproofing happen during a reno in Edmonton?
Yes — building sound separation in while an Wedgewood Heights wall or ceiling is open is cheaper and more effective than retrofitting it later.
Can you soundproof a basement suite in Wedgewood Heights?
Yes — suite sound separation between the suite and the main floor is one of our most common Wedgewood Heights jobs, on both the party walls and the ceiling.
