Soundproofing Acoustic Walls

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:

INDEPENDENT WALL:

This Is attached to the ceiling and floor and does not touch the offending wall through which noise travels. The depth of the wall from the face of the existing wall to the face of the new acoustic wall is 12 centimeters, although a larger gap will help further reduce noise transmission. We always treat the head and the base of the new acoustic wall to further reduce transmission via the ceiling and floor and use resilient layers between the new acoustic wall and the existing structure.

SLIM WALL:

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.
