Selecting a material for soundproofing apartment wallsand houses need to be taken into account what they were built from. Certain materials allow for complete soundproofing of a house or apartment. Soundproofing work is performed using the following materials and tools:
Soundproofing of walls in an apartment is done so that you cannot hear your neighbors and they cannot hear you.
- hammer;
- perforator;
- nails;
- level;
- the profile;
- beams;
- screwdrivers;
- self-tapping screws.
Soundproofing performs the following functions:
You can protect your house and apartment from external and internal noise with your own hands. There are several criteria that can be used to select sound insulation for walls.
Selection rules
Before choosing a soundproofing material, you will need to find out what kind of noise you need to get rid of. Noise can be:
Protection from airborne noise is provided by fibrous material.
It is possible to protect the surface from airborne noisea material with a fibrous structure, low water absorption, fire resistance, strength and high sound absorption rates. Other noise can be prevented by a low-elasticity soundproofing gasket material. Modern soundproofing materials can reliably protect external and exterior walls from various noises. They can withstand temperature fluctuations from -60 to +400 degrees. They are characterized by unique properties and a long service life. If soundproofing is carried out using mineral wool slabs, then the wall insulation will be maximum. Glass fiber slabs have high sound insulation and thermal conductivity. Builders recommend using them to protect concrete surfaces. Mineral slabs are used for external walls. Internal soundproofing work, which involves laying the material between concrete walls, is carried out using mineral wool. You can use Termozvukoizol, which is designed for building up walls. This material is presented in the form of a fiberglass cloth that provides good sound absorption. Return to Contents</a>
Application of BMS
Scheme of sound insulation with basalt slabs.To obtain an effective heat and sound insulation complex, it is recommended to lay a material on the walls that has the properties of thermal and acoustic insulation. Then basalt cardboard is mounted. The resulting structure is covered with plasterboard. On the construction market, you can buy frame cladding that is not able to fully protect the walls from noise. This is explained by the fact that they are attached without the use of vibration-insulating pads. This technology involves the formation of "sound bridges" through which noise can penetrate. Builders recommend using vibration-insulating hangers and fasteners from new soundproofing materials. Sound insulation can be increased by using special pads that are installed with your own hands. If soundproofing of walls is carried out using SML (glass-magnesite sheet), then it will be necessary to remove the wallpaper in the corners. Initially, a special structure is installed using glass-magnesite boards. They will protect the apartment well from various noises. Return to the table of contents</a>
Wooden constructions
Owners of wooden houses are interested in the question: what kind of sound insulation is better to use? Builders advise using foamed polyethylene or materials such as:
Floor soundproofing scheme.
- tape gasket;
- roll vibrating damping material;
- mineral wool;
- vibro-suspension;
- sound-absorbing track;
- sealants.
You will need to purchase metal profiles andplasterboard. The first elements are attached using rubber gaskets. Any material that will help to soundproof the walls is installed after preparing their surface. The walls should not have cracks, holes or other damage. They will need to be cleaned of dust and dirt. Sheets of plasterboard are attached to the installed frame. The gap between the new covering and the wall should not exceed 3-4 mm. Insulation material is laid in the resulting space. Builders recommend doing this work and leveling the walls at the same time. Return to contents</a>
Drywall and panels ZIPS
Before you choose, you will need to check them out.surface for various defects through which noise can penetrate into the house or apartment. Then the wall is plastered. Installation work is allowed when soundproofing the ceiling or floor. A small gap is left between the frame profile and the side walls, which is filled with sealant. The frame is filled with mineral wool. The next stage involves protecting the plasterboard frame. For this, 2 layers of plasterboard are used. They should be offset relative to each other. You can use 1 layer of plasterboard and 1 layer of gypsum fiber. In this case, sound insulation increases several times. The walls of the house and apartment can be protected from noise using ZIPS panels. They are attached to any surface due to vibration-insulated units. Several holes are made in the wall. Otherwise, ecowool is used, which is a good special insulation for thermal insulation of various coatings.
