Soundproofing a wall can significantly reduce the transmission of sound from one side of the wall to the other, reducing stress levels, disrupted sleep, and providing a calm environment.
To maximize sound reduction, three components are required: 1. Air gap, 2. Absorber & 3. Mass. Generally, the greater (thickness/density) of each – the greater the sound reduction.
There are many alternative soundproofing systems available, but we tend to only offer only two systems:
This is usually resiliently attached to the existing (problem) wall and is normally used to reduce flanking sound from above or below. We do not use this system to reduce direct noise through or via a party wall.
Thermacoustic are continuously developing and fine tuning our ceiling installations and we can measure improvements in performance with our own sound testing equipment.
We have introduced increased resilience in the hangers and perimeter track of our acoustic ceilings to reduce airborne and impact noise. However, current designs of acoustic ceilings normally perform better for airborne rather than impact noise.
Our soundproofing materials also offer thermal insulation properties, helping to improve energy efficiency. They can prevent heat loss or gain through the ceiling, leading to reduced energy consumption.
There are a vast number of options available to improve the sound resistance of existing floors.
1. Soundproofing within the floor void following the removal of floorboards– may include sound absorber, sound barrier layer(s) and acoustic boards.
2. Over floor treatment either over the existing floorboards or after removal and disposal of the floorboards – may include sound barrier layers, acoustic underlay, and floating floors. Sometimes both treatments may be advisable for optimum performance.
Thermacoustic can assess your requirements, which will require a personal visit and provide you with a quotation for undertaking the work.
Reducing reverberation within the source area to obtain the desired acoustic environment and reducing echo.
Depending on distance and the amount of soundproofing required, there may be a small charge for sound testing, but if this is necessary then the amount charged will be refunded in full, if we are requested to proceed with the subsequent acoustic work.
all these functions are likely to generate increased noise that could annoy neighbours or other occupants of the same property.
Even when a separate extension, garage or garden building is constructed, noise can still escape and cause a nuisance. We are experts in the design and construction of bespoke solutions to solve these problems so that “you can blow your own trumpet” without fear of complaint. And, with our own sound testing equipment, we can identify and deal with the dominant sound paths.
Blocking noise from ‘breaking out’ of a room can also be aided by improving reverberation and sound quality within the room itself. This can involve the fitting of sound ‘deadening’ wall and ceiling absorbers, strategically placed. We design and fit absorbers in a wide range of colours and sizes, to complete the installation.
On occasions, it is necessary to carry out sound testing before work to assess this severity of the sound, in order to calculate and advise the sound improvements required.
Also, we may be prepared to guarantee the amount of sound reduction following our work and will therefore need to undertake sound testing both before and after acoustic work. This will generally require the cooperation of your neighbours as a noise generator will need to be positioned in their property, while a meter reading is taken in your property. We can control the noise generator remotely, so this only needs to be triggered for a few minutes while a reading is taken.
Whilst our sound testing equipment is of good quality, this is for our own use only, as we are not authorized to carry out sound testing, or issue certificates conforming to Building Regulations. These sound tests need to be carried out by sound consultants or sound testing organizations, authorized by recognized bodies, such as The Association of Noise Consultants. We often work with such sound consultants who will charge for sound tests and detailed reports.
At Thermacoustic, we are proud of our work and always offer what we consider to be “best acoustic advice”. When we are in your property we take care to protect your possessions and always thoroughly clean the work areas, on completion.
We look forward to being of service to you in the future.
