Soundproofing

We install effective soundproofing systems for commercial interiors.

Professional Soundproofing for Commercial Interiors

At Express Drywall Services, we install complete soundproofing systems for offices, clinics, studios and multi-unit buildings. Our team uses acoustic insulation, resilient channels and sound-rated drywall to reduce transmission between walls, floors and ceilings. We follow acoustic specs, STC targets and architectural drawings to ensure reliable performance.

Whether you need privacy between office suites or quiet zones in hospitality builds, we’ve done it. We coordinate with framers and MEP trades to plan sound control from the structural stage. Our crews work cleanly, efficiently and around tight timelines. If no spec is provided, we’ll recommend the right system based on room type and adjacency. We also help correct poorly installed systems that failed to deliver results. From one room to an entire corridor, we know what works.

For Studios, Clinics or Educational Settings

Soundproofing is essential in commercial interiors where privacy, focus or acoustic performance is critical. Offices, clinics and meeting rooms benefit from reduced noise transfer between rooms or floors. In multi-unit buildings and hotels, proper soundproofing improves tenant satisfaction and protects against complaints.

Walls adjacent to mechanical spaces or elevator shafts also require enhanced acoustic separation to meet code. We use resilient channel, sound insulation and specialty drywall systems to block and absorb airborne sound. Whether you’re building from the ground up or improving an existing layout, soundproofing creates a quieter, more professional environment.

Quiet Built Into Every Layer

Soundproofing That Works With the Whole Assembly

In commercial construction, soundproofing isn’t just a luxury – it’s a necessity. Whether you’re building out office space, health clinics or multi-unit housing, reducing sound transfer is key to usability and tenant satisfaction.

At Express Drywall Services, we use a combination of acoustic insulation, resilient mounting systems and sound-rated drywall to block airborne and impact noise. We install per acoustic spec or recommend proven assemblies that deliver real performance.

Our crews are trained to coordinate with framing, electrical and HVAC layouts to avoid weak points. That means sealed outlets, decoupled drywall and full coverage insulation where it matters. We’ve worked in occupied buildings, high-rise projects and fast-paced commercial sites.

Every wall is different – and so is our approach. Soundproofing matters most where it’s least visible: between meeting rooms, beside elevators or across shared walls. We build it to perform long-term, not just for inspection.

Our installs pass STC targets and align with code. We also support retrofits and remediation of flawed installs. When your reputation depends on a quiet, usable space, we’re the crew that gets it right.

From Framing to Sound Control

How We Install Commercial-Grade Soundproofing

Site Assessment & Acoustic Priorities

We begin by identifying the areas that require sound control and reviewing plans for wall types, ceiling assemblies and unit divisions. Our team looks at adjacent spaces like offices, mechanical rooms or residential suites to define noise transmission risks. Based on this, we select the appropriate systems - resilient channel, insulation, sound-rated drywall or a combination. Clear goals upfront help us build the right sound barrier from the start.

Framing Review & Isolation Strategy

We inspect framing to confirm it’s ready for resilient channel or other decoupling systems. Where needed, we advise adding backing or modifying layout to prevent rigid contact points. Mechanical isolation is key to reducing structure-borne noise. We work closely with framers to lock in a layout that supports acoustic performance.

Acoustic Insulation Installation

Batt insulation is friction-fit between studs to absorb airborne sound and improve mass. We cut around wires, boxes and pipes to maintain full coverage and avoid compression. Proper insulation placement reduces reverberation and sound bleed. It’s a foundational layer for any effective soundproofing system.

Resilient Channel or Sound Clips

We install resilient channel or acoustic clips horizontally across the framing to decouple the drywall. This step breaks the direct path for vibration, reducing noise transfer. Spacing, screw depth and orientation all follow acoustic specs. These systems are essential in offices, hotels, clinics and anywhere privacy matters.

Sound-Rated Drywall & Sealing

We apply sound-rated drywall or multiple layers with acoustic sealant between boards. All perimeter joints, outlets and gaps are sealed to prevent sound leaks. We follow STC (Sound Transmission Class) requirements if specified. Proper sealing turns a good wall into a high-performance acoustic barrier.

Final Review & Ready for Finish Trades

Once the assemblies are complete, we inspect each zone for full coverage and detail integrity. If testing is required, we ensure specs are met and provide documentation if needed. Our crews clean up and clear the area for painting, ceiling install or final close-out. You’re left with quiet-ready interiors that perform long after we’re gone.

Acoustic Control That Lasts

Resilient Soundproofing Systems for Demanding Spaces

Noise complaints, echo-heavy rooms and poorly isolated spaces create problems in commercial environments. Our soundproofing services help fix that – at the construction stage or during renovation.

Express Drywall Services delivers sound control systems designed around the needs of modern commercial interiors. We install acoustic insulation, apply resilient channel and seal all joints and perimeters to block sound migration. Mechanical and structure-borne noise is also addressed using decoupled systems and flexible sealants. From law offices to mixed-use towers, we help create peace, privacy and professionalism.

Our team reviews floor plans, adjacent usage and mechanical pathways to tailor the approach. We don’t believe in one-size-fits-all when it comes to sound control. Instead, we build complete assemblies – from framing to finish – that hold up to real-world conditions. We also provide insulation, fire separation and drywall installation to integrate all scopes in one.

If your acoustic barrier is critical to building performance or compliance, it deserves a focused team. We’re ready to help you design and install a system that does more than mute – it delivers clarity and control.

FAQ

Common Questions About Soundproofing in Commercial Spaces

Can You Soundproof Existing Walls?

We can improve sound control in existing spaces using surface-mounted layers or added mass. In some cases, we install acoustic panels or isolated drywall layers over the current wall. While full isolation is harder in finished rooms, we always aim to reduce noise transmission as much as possible. We’ll assess your space and recommend the best retrofit approach.

Where Is Soundproofing Most Important in Commercial Buildings?

Soundproofing is commonly used between office suites, in medical exam rooms, hospitality walls and anywhere privacy or quiet is required. It’s also essential next to mechanical areas, elevator shafts and high-traffic corridors. These zones often have strict acoustic targets for tenant satisfaction or code compliance. We tailor systems based on room function and layout.

How Does Lighting or Ceiling Type Affect Soundproofing?

Recessed lights, open ceilings or hard finishes can reduce the effectiveness of sound control. That’s why we account for ceilings, penetrations and finish materials when designing a system. Acoustic insulation and sealants help mitigate sound leaks around fixtures and gaps. We adapt our method to the full interior assembly - not just the walls.

Is Soundproofing Required by Code in Commercial Projects?

In many cases, yes - especially in multi-unit buildings, healthcare, education or hospitality environments. Certain demising walls and partitions must meet STC ratings defined by local building codes. We install systems that help meet or exceed those targets using tested assemblies. If acoustic performance is not specified, we can still recommend smart solutions based on space usage.
