Walls, ceilings and floors in modern multi -apartment panel houses are often made of materials with a low sound absorption coefficient, which becomes a very serious problem. Good audibility prevents you from relaxing and relaxing, so many think about additional soundproofing walls.
Work on ensuring additional sound insulation should be carried out comprehensively, throughout the room, since the only way can you get the desired result. Today we will talk about the sound insulation of the walls.
Firstly, you need to examine and study the room where it is planned to carry out work. To do this, you need to find out what and how many elements of the wall panels will need to be soundproof, and then find the cracks and cracks that significantly reduce the level of soundproofing in the room. Planting nest for installing sockets and switches must be checked for tightness. These actions will help to determine what will need to be paid more attention when conducting soundproofing works.
Unfortunately, cracks and gaps between ceilings and walls that pass extraneous noise are a distinctive feature of panel structures, although buildings from other materials are not insured from this. Therefore, before installing soundproofing plates, you need to seal all sources of penetration of extraneous noise. These include not only the mentioned gaps and cracks, but also the installation zones of sockets and switches. If there are chips or cracks near them, then it is necessary to put them in. It is also recommended not to use circuit breakers and sockets built into the wall, preferring to them open -type electrical installation products. It is also necessary to provide additional sound insulation with aerated concrete walls, wooden partitions and frame panels.
When choosing soundproofing material, remember that it simply cannot be super -thin. It is doubtful to use foam, polyethylene and household containers for eggs for additional sound insulation.
Experts say that today there is only one effective way of sounding the walls – this is the lining of drywall panels with the filling of voids with sound -absorbing materials – mineral wool slabs, an insulator from the tube, various mineral fillers.
Most often used slabs made of mineral wool with a thickness of about 50 mm. When choosing such plates, pay attention to their characteristics and soundproofing properties. They can be different and intended for different rooms. Also, a good result provides cork insulating material. Under the plasterboard panels themselves, it is recommended to lay soundproofing substrates.
Now German -made panels are very popular in the Russian market, the thickness of the working surface of which reaches 12 mm, and the weight is approximately 18 kg/m2.
