How to make sound insulation in the apartment with his hands ?

Types of noise and materials for insulation

Soundproofing a ceiling in the apartment above all, prevents the penetration of various kinds of noise in the room.There are two types of noise: airborne and impact.Air noise is from the living voice, TV and street sounds, which is transmitted over the air through ventilation systems and open windows.Impact noise occurs by mechanical means, for example, hitting the wall or the sound to move furniture.He passed through the walls, ceiling and heating systems.

as sound insulation materials can be used basalt wool, foam polystyrene plate, cork, foam glass mats of hemp linen, staple fiber, etc.Noise isolation is carried out by several methods with the optional ceiling system.

Methods acoustic ceiling

apartment There are several methods of sound insulation of upper floor slabs:

• Ceilings - option where a metal frame attached to the overlap, and there put the plate;
• podshivnoy ceiling - a metal frame with a sound dampening plates sheathed bottom gypsum boards;
• ceilings, soundproofing, which is carried out by means of special brackets, which stretched fabric or film coating.

most popular methods include the installation of an acoustic version of false ceilings and finishing drywall, which is placed under the material.Good sound insulation of the ceiling in the apartment is made from mineral wool.Sound absorption coefficient thus is 70-95%.

frame system is mounted on the ceiling, and the space between it and the ceiling slab is laid.On the frame are mounted on top of gypsum boards, and you can carry a decorative surface finish.

In addition, common views are acoustic ceilings.Due to the perforated tissue reached a maximum level of noise isolation.Cork ceilings also have good damping properties of sounds, thanks to its porous structure and the particular molecular structure.

Noise ceiling - create silence with their hands Soundproofing

ceiling with his hands - the process time-consuming, so you should be patient.To work you will need: drywall, metal frame of the profiles, fasteners, level, tape measure, pencil, acrylic sealant, metal scissors, rock wool or glass wool.

before a soundproofing ceiling must be sealed all seams, cracks and crevices on the surface of acrylic sealant to lower acoustic permeability.For starting the design we put the profile on the wall line, departing 15-20 cm below the ceiling.It is better to use level.

with dowels in increments of 40-60 cm is fixed on the perimeter of the initial profile.Then markup is applied to the main bearing guides vymeryat 125 cm between them.It is half the size of the plasterboard plate.According to the planned lines attached hangers increments of 40 cm.

Further supporting rails are screwed with screws on metal at a small distance from the wall, to avoid deformation of the ceiling under any situation.Marking a transverse guide is drawn in increments of 60 cm. With the help of scissors metal cut the required length of the transverse rails.

Further, they should be fixed.All cavities in the frame are filled with cotton wool.Then the screws every 20 cm mounted drywall.Between the slabs of drywall should stay period of about 2-3 mm.Then shpaklyuyut seams between sheets and overwritten.The ceiling is ready for painting or other kind of finishing.
