Our Drywall Soundproofing Solutions
Our drywall soundproofing options focus on reducing noise transmission with proven techniques and quality materials. We prioritize effective installation, combining specialized drywall products with insulation and noise barrier construction to create quieter spaces tailored to your needs.
Soundproof Drywall Installation
We use dense, 5/8-inch soundproof drywall as a core material to block sound waves more effectively than standard drywall. Installing it requires precise handling, including attaching it to resilient channels that decouple the drywall from the framing, reducing vibration transfer.
Our teams stagger drywall seams and secure panels tightly to minimize gaps. We seal all edges and joints with acoustic caulk to prevent sound leaks. This method adds mass and reduces direct sound paths, significantly lowering noise between rooms or from outside sources.
Acoustic Insulation Methods
Adding acoustic insulation inside wall cavities complements drywall installation by absorbing sound energy before it reaches the drywall surface. We typically install mineral wool or fiberglass insulation, both known for high-density composition that traps sound waves.

This step tackles mid- to high-frequency noise, enhancing overall soundproofing. Proper insulation must fit snugly without compression to maintain its effectiveness. We ensure thorough coverage around electrical boxes and in tight spaces to avoid weak points in the sound barrier.
Noise Barrier Construction
For spaces with high noise levels, we construct additional noise barriers that include layered drywall systems combined with damping compounds. These barriers increase mass and disrupt sound transmission through structural elements.

We may install double layers of drywall with viscoelastic damping materials between them, which convert sound energy into heat and reduce vibration. Coupled with resilient channels and sealed joints, this approach can cut noise transfer by up to 50%, depending on the specific environment.
Our Installation Process
We follow a detailed and structured approach to ensure effective drywall soundproofing. Each step is designed to address your unique noise challenges through careful planning, precise design, and the use of quality materials.
1. Initial Consultation and Assessment
We start by meeting with you to understand your specific soundproofing needs and the types of noise you want to reduce. This includes identifying noise sources—whether from outside traffic, neighboring rooms, or mechanical systems.
Our technicians conduct a thorough inspection of the space, evaluating wall construction, existing insulation, and structural factors. We document areas of concern and measure sound transmission levels to establish a baseline.
This detailed assessment helps us create an effective plan that targets problem areas without unnecessary work, saving time and cost.
2. Custom Solution Design
Based on our initial assessment, we develop a tailored soundproofing strategy for your space. This plan combines methods such as installing soundproof drywall, adding acoustic insulation, or incorporating resilient channels.
We consider your budget, aesthetic preferences, and the level of sound reduction required. Our design balances performance with practicality, ensuring the solution integrates seamlessly with your existing space.
Throughout this phase, we communicate clearly to align our approach with your expectations, making adjustments as needed.
3. Material Selection and Preparation
We select materials proven for their sound-blocking and absorption qualities, such as high-density drywall, specialized insulation, and vibration-damping components. Each product is chosen based on durability and its compatibility with the overall design.
Before installation, we prepare the work area by protecting surfaces and clearing obstructions. This organization reduces disruption and ensures smooth progress.
Our team adheres to strict preparation standards to maximize the effectiveness of soundproofing and the longevity of the installation.
