Most often suffer from poor noise insulation residents of multi-family panel houses. The high level of noise in the apartment provides a bad docking panels, a small thickness of overlaps between the floors. Repair, noisy guides, loud sound of television or music ... All foreign sounds can be left behind the door if you make good noise insulation in the apartment.
Noise insulation in the residential room depends on what kind of noise you want to eliminate. All noises are divided into two categories: vibration (those that occur under the influence of shocks and are distributed exclusively in a solid medium) and acoustic (which are transmitted in the form of oscillations by air). Impact noise can be good to "feel" at itself during repairs in the neighbors. Acoustic noise is what you hear during a noisy parties from neighbors, music, laughter, loud conversations. Soundproofing the apartment must be complex. That is, the walls, gender and ceiling are subject to special trim. In addition, to protect your dwelling from extraneous noises should be the doors and windows. It is best to take care of the housing noise insulation still at the stage of its construction, however, since this option is not suitable for the apartment, then it is possible to provide silence in the room with the help of special sound-absorbing materials.
If you are a resident of a panel apartment building, then the most likely the wall of your apartment is not distinguished by a large thickness. Therefore, it is possible to increase their thickness with drywall. In this case, the space between the wall and sheet of drywall must be filled with a special material that will absorb extra sounds. It can be foam rubber, mineral wool and more. By mounting a metal frame, the attachment of profiles must be additionally insulated with rubber gaskets to avoid transmission of vibrations. It is worth noting that this way of sound insulation "steals" a lot of useful rooms of the room due to the thickening of the wall.
An important element in the noise insulation of the apartment is the treatment with special ceiling materials. The principle is the same as during sound insulation of the walls. A metallic frame is created, then layer a layer of soundproofing substance - glass salas, foam rubber or special plates from basalt or mineral wool. They have a small thickness, while create a good effect. And layer of plasterboard will complete the ceiling insulation.
Next, insulating the floor. There are special materials that are put under laminate or tie. This is a compound from paper, fiberglass and a synthetic substance. It has a small thickness and at the same time perfectly absorbs vibrations and serves as a shock absorber of shocks. A waterproof film is placed on top of the noise insulation layer.
Do not forget about noise insulation of such an inconspicuous, but important device, like a socket. Out of it, pull out and launch the hole with a layer of a dense soundproof material. After that, gently close the outlet with a gypsum mixture.
Central heating risers also need sound insulation. To do this, remove the concrete on the pipe to a depth of 8-10 centimeters. Purified pipe is neatly isolate glass gamble and cement reinstate.
Sound-insulating glass windows are used to isolation from the street from the street. Applying the technology of triple glazing, they will minimize the penetration of noise in the apartment.
Massive and thick door is another obstacle for noise. At the same time, the doorway must be insulated with rubber gaskets.
Remember that the best effect is achieved only with an integrated approach in solving the problem of unnecessary noise in the apartment. Use only high-quality materials, and if necessary, contact the specialists.
