Acoustic Walls

The best approach depends on the wall construction and the type of noise you’re trying to reduce. A typical system combines acoustic insulation, resilient isolation and high-density soundproof boards to reduce sound transfer through the wall.

For noise coming through a shared wall, a complete wall soundproofing system is usually more effective than using a single material on its own. The right solution will depend on whether the problem is voices, TV, music or lower-frequency noise.

Yes. Existing walls can usually be upgraded by adding acoustic insulation and soundproofing layers to the room side of the wall. Some systems are designed specifically to minimise the amount of space lost.

Acoustic insulation is normally installed inside a wall cavity to absorb sound energy, while soundproofing boards add mass and help reduce sound passing through the finished wall. They are often used together as part of a complete system.

This depends on the system used. Slimmer solutions are available where room space is limited, while higher-performance systems usually require a deeper build-up to provide greater sound reduction.

Yes. Wall soundproofing systems are designed to reduce airborne noise such as conversations, television and music. Performance depends on the existing wall construction, the system installed and how carefully it is fitted.
