Noise walls with his own hands

question of creating sound insulation walls of interest to many people living in multi-storey houses built in Soviet times.Of course, nobody wants to listen to the noises of neighbors, just as are the neighbors do not want all the residents knew what they were doing.The only way to solve this problem - is the creation of sound insulation.Obviously, nothing complicated in this process.Anyone can easily provide sound insulation of walls in such a way that even with strong external noise in the house was quiet and cozy.

features soundproofing homes

It is understood thatinsulation fulfills two functions:

• soundproofing ensures a reflection of any sounds from neighboring apartments.This will absolutely not hear what is going on behind the wall;
• sound absorption can evenly distribute all the sound waves created inside the apartment.Correspondingly, the neighbors will not be able to hear what is happening within our apartment.

is especially important to create sound insulation in large rooms in which the layers of insulating material is guaranteed to give the room cozy and quiet.At the same time, small apartments, primarily one-room, not to create better insulation, since it narrows the space visually.

Create soundproofing drywall using

Today most to create it using drywall soundproofing.This is an inexpensive material that lends itself well to cutting and bending.

In this case, we need:

• metal bars,
• zvukopoglaschayuschy material,
• drywall,
• hardware.

In the beginning, you need to make sure that the wall did not have any flaws.These include various openings and slots.Obviously, these defects adversely affect the sound insulation, even if the most expensive insulating materials are used.

further need to build a framework for sound insulation.To create a frame profile is required, which should be from the wall at a distance of a pair of sentimentality.Between the wall and the frame should be placed some sound absorbing material (you can also take the cork or rubber).All frame components are secured with bolts and nuts.Also for fastening the frame, you can use dowels and sundries, fastened directly to the wall.However, note that the crack can be formed after the fastener driving element.

now the most crucial moment of work, during which you must select the soundproofing material and place it in the frame.The most common noise insulation material using glass wool or mineral wool.Also in DIY stores semirigid plate can be found, based on mineral wool, which can also be used as insulation.Most shops consultants indicate what material has a maximum sound absorption coefficient.Often soft materials absorb noise better than solid.It is from this information and should be repelled.

Next you need to fasten drywall to metal frame.For this purpose, self-tapping screws.It is a responsible approach to this process, since the appearance of cracks in the material will mean a reduced sound insulation.As is known, drywall copes with soundproofed walls, especially when part of the building material in close contact with each other.

joints sheets of drywall you need to glue a special grid construction, and it is applied on top of the plaster.We need to make sure that the wall surface is perfectly flat.

Then you can paint the walls or wallpaper pokleit.It should be noted that this is an inexpensive way to soundproof homes.Most will need to spend money on drywall, which costs 150-200 rubles per sheet, on average.

Noise using decorative panels

If the method plasterboard not like, you can use decorative panels.Today, many manufacturers have a large range of such products.The panels can be of different thicknesses and made of various materials.In our case it is better to abandon the wood panels, as they cope with the worst soundproof room.

Before starting construction work is necessary to understand that for wall panels required perfectly flat wall.Otherwise, the need to create a crate.By itself, lathing - a wood frame, metal structure similar to sheets of drywall.Wood sticks are attached to the wall with dowels or screws.The design must be positioned securely on the wall, as the panels have a decent weight.

are fastened to the sheathing panels using liquid nails.In addition, between a portion of the material need to be joined on a "tongue and groove".

The main advantage of this method of soundproofing is a decorative component, which leaves far behind the drywall, and other ways of wall decoration.At this time, the panel does not guarantee a perfect sound insulation housing, as this is just an additional layer to the wall.If possible, you can place a soundproofing material in the crate, it will improve the situation somewhat.

These panels are very expensive, the cost starts from 1000 rubles per 1 sq.m. If the room is small, then this option is quite good.

glue soundproofing material

Now in stores you can find very often rolls with shumoizolyatsonnymi materials.They need to be on top of the vinyl wallpaper paste.The average sound insulation roll would cover 7 square meters.m. walls, which is considerably advantageous to the last process.Experts in the construction business say that this material reduces ambient noise by only 60%, so a serious competitor to the two previous designs that noise insulation rolls will be difficult.

On the other hand, this is a good option if the walls of home and so do a good job of sound insulation.

For gluing soundproofing material used liquid nails.Also in this case it is necessary that the wall was smooth.
