A noisy home can be tough to live in: traffic through the bedroom wall, footsteps from the floor above, TV noise that carries into every room, or a shared wall in a duplex or condo. Isolation Majeau provides soundproofing and acoustic insulation for homeowners across Greater Montreal, Laval, the South Shore, Lanaudière, and the Laurentians, using the right materials and wall assemblies to bring quiet back to the spaces where you want it most.
Effective soundproofing starts with understanding the noise you're dealing with, because there are two kinds and they're solved differently. Airborne noises (voices, music, a television, traffic) travel through the air and passes through any gap that air can. Impact noise (footsteps, furniture moving, heels on a hard floor) travels as vibration through the structure of the building itself.
The most important principle is that air leakage and sound leakage are the same problem. Air carries sound, so a wall that lets air through will let sound through no matter how much insulation is packed inside it. That's why proper soundproofing is as much about sealing an assembly as it is about filling it, and it's why improvised, DIY soundproofing can disappoint. Oftentimes, having your insulation improved and air sealing added by a professional company like Isolation Majeau can result in much improved soundproofing in a home.
Depending on whether you're fighting airborne or impact noise, and on how the room is built, different types of insulation can help in a few different ways:
The most common projects we're called for are interior walls between bedrooms and living areas, ceilings and floors between levels of a home, home theatre and media rooms, home offices, nurseries, and shared walls in duplexes, condos, and multi-unit buildings. Whether it's a single wall or a whole-room treatment, the goal is the same: meaningfully less noise where you notice it most.
Soundproofing and insulation often go hand in hand, and the results can be immediately obvious. Isolation Majeau has been insulating and soundproofing homes across the Greater Montreal region for over 55 years, and that experience is exactly what a project with soundproofing goals needs: knowing which assembly and materials will actually deliver the quiet you're looking for, and installing them properly the first time. We use quality products from leading manufacturers, backed by their warranties, and install to current Quebec building code.
