Soundproofing Walls
Your First Defense Against Noisy Neighbours
Most of the noise that bugs you probably comes through your walls. Makes sense – they’re the biggest surface area between you and the outside world (or your neighbours). Here’s what actually works when constructing a new wall:
Acoustic insulation goes into wall cavities to soak up sound energy before it can travel through. Think of it as a sound sponge inside your walls.
Mass-loaded vinyl is like a heavy blanket for sound waves. It’s dense, flexible, and surprisingly effective at reducing noise from passing through.
Acoustic Plasterboard such as 32mm Barrierboard to provide significant sound reduction as compared to traditional plasterboard.
Decoupling systems break the connection between surfaces so vibrations can’t travel from one side to the other. It’s basically giving sound waves nowhere to go.
Sound-absorbing panels clean up any echo or reverberation, making your room sound better overall.
The result? Your neighbour’s late-night movie marathons become their problem, not yours.
