Tecsound Acoustic Membrane

Soundproofing your space doesn’t mean living in a padded box or sacrificing aesthetics—it just means using smart materials that work like acoustic ninjas. Enter Tecsound Acoustic Membrane, a game-changing viscoelastic polymer-based solution that blends high-density mass with impressive flexibility to block, dampen, and kill noise at its source.

Whether you're battling footsteps upstairs, traffic noise outside, or an industrial press machine next door, Tecsound offers the kind of peace and quiet that makes you say, “Why didn’t I install this sooner?”

Let’s break down everything you need to know about this quiet hero of the construction world.

What is Tecsound Acoustic Membrane?

Tecsound is a viscoelastic, high-density acoustic membrane developed to combat both airborne and impact noise in various environments. It's commonly used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications for its ability to act as both a sound barrier and a vibration dampener.

Unlike old-school materials that rely on brute thickness or weight alone, Tecsound combines mass (to block) with flexibility (to absorb and dissipate vibration), converting sound energy into harmless heat. Think of it like a sound sponge—but one that’s fire-resistant, easy to install, and doesn’t off-gas nasty chemicals.

Its proprietary blend of polymers means Tecsound stays effective across a broad frequency spectrum and temperature range, making it ideal for both hot machinery rooms and chilly basements.

How Does Tecsound Work?

Tecsound doesn’t just stop sound—it transforms it. Here’s how:

• High density makes it harder for sound waves to pass through.
• Its flexible structure vibrates slightly on impact, converting kinetic sound energy into low-grade heat.
• It can be layered between drywall, under floorboards, or over ducting for custom soundproofing assemblies.

This combination ensures Tecsound excels at lower frequencies (bass), mid-range human speech, and even high-pitched whines from HVAC systems.

Key Features of Tecsound

• Up to 5 kg/m² for excellent sound insulation
• Bends easily around pipes, corners, or irregular surfaces
• Some variants include built-in adhesive for easy DIY application
• Euroclass B-s2, d0 fire rating
• VOC-free, safe for home interiors
• Contains no lead or harmful plasticizer

Tecsound vs Traditional Soundproofing Materials

When it comes to choosing a soundproofing solution, many people think of mass loaded vinyl (MLV) as the standard option. But Tecsound is raising the bar—and it’s not just hype.

Traditional materials like MLV rely heavily on raw mass. They’re thick, rigid, and heavy, which makes installation a bit of a workout. They do block sound, but they aren’t great at absorbing vibrations. And if your project includes tight corners or oddly shaped surfaces, MLV can become more of a headache than a help.

Tecsound, on the other hand, brings a modern twist. It offers the same (or better) sound blocking power as MLV, but with added flexibility. Thanks to its viscoelastic nature, Tecsound doesn’t just block sound—it also dampens vibrations. It bends easily, wraps around pipes or corners, and installs without needing a team of specialists or power tools.

Another key difference? Tecsound is lighter for its density, easier to cut, and more user-friendly for DIYers. It’s also free from harmful chemicals and has a strong fire-resistance rating—making it safer for both residential and commercial spaces.

In short, if you want a high-performing, flexible, and easy-to-use solution that handles both airborne noise and impact noise, Tecsound is a smarter, safer upgrade over old-school soundproofing materials.

Types of Noise Tecsound Blocks

This isn’t just noise reduction. It’s noise annihilation.

• Voices, TV, music, barking dogs
• Footsteps, dropped objects, furniture movement
• Machinery hum, appliance buzz
• HVAC systems, industrial airflows

Its wide-ranging effectiveness makes Tecsound a go-to material in both soundproofing and acoustic treatment strategies.

Where Can Tecsound Be Used?

Versatility is where Tecsound really shines:

• Add between drywall layers or attach directly
• Reduces both impact and airborne transmission
• Perfect underlay beneath laminate, hardwood, or tile
• Wrap-around dampening for HVAC and plumbing
• Reduces noise from generators, compressors

Its flexibility makes it a winner for irregular surfaces, tight crawlspaces, and retrofit projects.

Home Use Cases

You don’t need a mansion to enjoy mansion-level quiet.

• Sleep without hearing your neighbor’s TV
• Zoom meetings stay professional and private
• Block plumbing sounds for true spa vibes
• Enhance acoustics and avoid neighbor complaints

Installing Tecsound can be a game-changer in apartments, condos, and older homes with thin walls.

Industrial and Commercial Use Cases

In the commercial sector, noise = liability. Whether it's violating local ordinances or reducing employee productivity, sound control matters.

• Speech privacy without sacrificing aesthetics
• Control HVAC and fan noise
• Wrap enclosures, mechanical rooms, or wall panels
• Keep distractions out (and inside voices in)

For architects and project managers, Tecsound helps meet acoustic regulations while preserving design flexibility.

Can I Install Tecsound Myself?

Absolutely. Tecsound was designed for both pros and regular people.

If you’ve ever used a tape measure or applied a sticker, you’re halfway there. The SY version (self-adhesive) makes things foolproof. For large walls or ceilings, a buddy and a roller help keep things bubble-free.

However, for commercial setups, multilayered builds, or HVAC ducting, hiring a soundproofing pro is wise for optimal acoustic performance.

Tools and Materials Needed Before You Start

Before diving into the install, gather your toolkit. Here’s what you’ll need:

• Tecsound membranes (choose the right type and thickness for your space)
• Measuring tape
• Utility knife or sharp scissors
• Straight edge or ruler
• Adhesive (unless you’re using the self-adhesive Tecsound SY)
• Roller or trowel (to apply pressure and smooth the surface)
• Acoustic sealant (for sealing edges and overlaps)
• Protective gloves and safety gear

Getting everything lined up before you start saves time, reduces mistakes, and helps the membrane do its job right from day one.

Step-by-Step Installation Guide for Tecsound Acoustic Membrane

Step 1: Prepare the Surface

Make sure your installation surface is clean, dry, and free of dust or debris. Uneven areas should be smoothed or patched to help the membrane adhere properly and maintain consistent performance.

Step 2: Measure and Cut the Membrane

Measure your wall, ceiling, or floor area carefully. Cut the Tecsound membrane to size using a sharp utility knife or scissors. It cuts like a dream—just use a straight edge for clean lines.

Step 3: Position the Membrane

Align the membrane with your chosen surface. If you're using Tecsound SY (the self-adhesive version), peel off the backing and press it firmly against the wall or floor. If you’re using a non-adhesive version, apply the recommended adhesive to both the surface and the membrane.

Step 4: Seal the Seams and Edges

Overlap each sheet slightly—about an inch or two—to prevent sound leaks. Then apply a generous bead of acoustic sealant along the seams and edges. This step is crucial for maintaining a continuous sound barrier.

Step 5: Add Final Layer or Finish

Once the Tecsound is fully adhered and sealed, you can finish with drywall, flooring, or paneling. This outer layer locks in the soundproofing and blends the install into your design.

Post-Installation Tips & Best Practices

• Let the adhesive cure fully before applying pressure or adding finishing layers.
• Inspect regularly for gaps, especially around seams and joints.
• Combine materials for best results—add mineral wool, resilient channels, or double drywall if you're soundproofing a recording studio or industrial space.
• If you're applying it under flooring, make sure it’s compatible with your underlay or subfloor type.
