Soundproof walls - your pass to the world of peace and tranquility

We select materials for sound insulation

Currently, the most popular and widely used sound-insulating material is glass wool.This building material includes two of the most high-quality products: mineral wool and fiberglass.Its advantages include increased flexibility, strength and vibration resistance.

You can also use a standard mineral wool.It will not only protect your home from the outside noise, but also act as insulating material for your apartment or house.To its main advantages include durability, as well as the full environmental, eliminating all sorts of allergic reactions.

Another common material is ZIPS panel.If you decide that your home sound insulation brick walls must be made exactly to them, you need to know some of its features.Firstly, the panel ZIPS - a mixture of mineral wool and gipsovolokonnyh.

Secondly, the installation of the sound insulator made directly to the surface without any frame structures.Third, since the width of the material may be 40, 70 or 120 mm, then, accordingly, you have to sacrifice the space of the room.

Attention!ZIPS panels have too much weight (18,5-21 kg), which suggests a strong and stable baffle design, if you decide to soundproof it is this element.

Besides all of the above building materials, drywall , mounted in a pair of layers, can also act as a good sound absorber.

Simple ways to improve the sound insulation of walls

worth noting that the sound insulation in the apartment simple and more complex methods can be carried out.Let's start with a simple description.The easiest option is considered to seal the joints connecting the street.We all know what quality offer modern construction companies.Thus, the construction of houses little attention is paid to the seams, and through them to all sorts of sounds perfectly penetrate into the room.

The same procedure can be carried out directly inside the apartment.To do this, you have to get rid of all finishing materials on the wall, and then carry out the closing of cracks and walk with a solution for docking the seams of the wall.Special attention is recommended to be given to the window opening.After all, there is often visible gap!

addition, simple methods of sound insulation work involves strengthening the absorbing qualities of sockets and switches.You will then be a couple of options.

The first is that you can simply close up the hole at the outlet or switch and make installation of new equipment, which is applied directly to the surface.The second option - is to buy special electrical components.It may be, for example, outlet boxes with soundproof shutters.

Serious soundproofing walls with his own hands

If you decide to make a soundproof wall with their hands thoroughly and forever, then you will have to spend more time and money to carry out works.The most common method of soundproofing is plaster surface.To do this, you will need reinforcing mesh of fiberglass and plaster.With the help of dowel-nails mesh is attached to the base of the wall, and then she throws the plaster.Then this whole thing is leveled and made finishing.

as absorbers can be used specifically designed for this material.One of those is TermoZvukoIzol .In his example, we propose to consider the algorithm of work:

• on the surface of the wall is a frame made of wooden bars.Suffice it to uprights, spaced apart from each other of not more than 50 cm.

Attention!Between the wall and the bars leave a gap, which should be sufficient to produce a laying TermoZvukoIzola !

• Stacking material occurs in such a way as to allow a small overlap of the insulator on the floor and ceiling.
• Using previously built a framework of wooden beams, fasten drywall sheets on it.This will make an additional acoustic barrier.

• Next drywall puttied and it is already installed you selected finishing materials.This can be either wallpaper or paint.
