Soundproofing

Soundproofing insulation that actually quiets the room.

Soundproofing isn't just one product, it is an assembly. Mineral wool in the cavity, decoupled drywall, sealed gaps, and the right mass on each layer. We design and install acoustic walls, ceilings, and floors for home offices, music rooms, ADUs, and shared bedrooms.

What do homeowners ask about Soundproofing?

What STC rating should I aim for?

Code minimum for shared walls is STC 50. STC 55 starts to feel quiet between rooms; STC 60 is what you want for a recording space. We design to a target STC, not just to a product. Mineral wool gets you maybe 4 to 6 points; the rest is mass, decoupling, and sealing.

Will mineral wool alone soundproof my office?

It helps but it isn't the whole answer. Most noise comes through gaps, doors, and flanking paths. Plan on sealing penetrations, gasketing the door, and possibly adding a second layer of drywall with green glue. We design the whole assembly.

Can you retrofit a finished wall?

We can dense-pack cellulose into a closed wall for some sound improvement, but the bigger gains come from re-rocking with a damping compound layer. We will tell you what level of work matches your goal.

We had R-13 batts from 1979 that had settled to nothing. Crew air-sealed top plates first, then blew cellulose to R-49. Upstairs bedrooms feel different now, the AC actually keeps up on hot afternoons.

Attic Insulation Carlsbad

Got three quotes. Thermal Pro was the only one who recommended air-sealing before insulation and pushed for the radiant barrier given the East County heat. Bill dropped 18 percent in the first August. Worth every dollar.

Attic + Radiant Barrier El Cajon

Our vaulted ceiling was the hottest room in the house. Closed-cell foam at the roof deck completely changed the room. Crew masked everything carefully, came back to check the cure, walked us through the reoccupancy timeline. Professional all the way.
