Resilient Channel Installation

Noise can easily disrupt your comfort at home, especially in bedrooms located near high-traffic areas or under noisy floors. Even in well-built homes, footsteps, bass vibrations and TV audio often travel through walls and ceilings.

One of the simplest ways to reduce this is by adding resilient channels behind your drywall. These metal strips are installed horizontally between the studs and drywall, breaking the sound path. The decoupling effect limits vibration transfer, making the surface quieter and more stable.

At Express Drywall Services, we specialize in resilient channel installation as part of full soundproofing assemblies. Our process often includes acoustic insulation, sealed drywall edges and acoustical caulking for even better results. The system adds minimal thickness to walls or ceilings and can be used in bedrooms, home offices or media rooms.

Clients commonly report reduced noise levels within the first few days after install. It’s ideal for homes with kids, shift workers or anyone sensitive to ambient sound. Resilient channels are also more affordable and less invasive than building double walls or replacing insulation.

If you’re already planning drywall upgrades or ceiling work, this is the perfect time to install them. We work cleanly and efficiently, leaving your space ready for paint or finishing. With over 20 years of experience, we know how to customize channel installs for maximum acoustic performance. You’ll feel the difference – and more importantly, you won’t hear what you don’t want to.

Sound control is essential when living in a multi-unit property, where daily life from one household can spill into the next. Whether it’s a duplex, a legal basement suite or a rental conversion, soundproofing shared walls and ceilings is a top priority.

At Express Drywall Services, we install resilient channels to block sound transmission and improve comfort between units. These channels are mounted perpendicular to the framing, creating a floating drywall layer that’s decoupled from structural vibration. It’s a proven technique used in residential construction to reduce both airborne and impact noise.

For best results, we combine channels with mineral wool insulation, sound-rated drywall and resilient caulking. This layered system helps meet Ontario Building Code fire and sound requirements for dwelling separation. Installation is clean, efficient and designed to work with new framing or existing structures.

Many of our clients add channels during basement renovations, ceiling upgrades or drywall installation to reduce disruption and cost. Once the system is in place, walls look and function like standard drywall – but with enhanced acoustic control.

It’s especially useful in homes with tenants, home offices or multi-generational living. We assess your space to determine where channels will be most effective, then install them with precision. No special maintenance is required once finished and the soundproofing benefit is long-lasting.

With over two decades of experience, we’ve helped homeowners across the GTA quiet down their spaces. If you’re ready to create better boundaries between units, resilient channels are a smart solution that pays off every day.
