Our Execution Process

01

Friction-Fit Placement

Neatly cutting batts around wiring and pipes to eliminate uninsulated voids and cold spots.

02

Acoustical Sealant Bead

Applying continuous non-hardening acoustical sealant along top and bottom plates.

03

Vapour Barrier Inspection

Inspecting all penetrations and overlap seams with approved construction tape.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best insulation for soundproofing between rental suites?

We recommend dense mineral wool batts (such as Rockwool Safe'n'Sound) installed between floor joists, combined with resilient channel and double drywall for maximum STC rating.
