How to isolate the apartment from noise

Housekeeping Hits: 112

Foreign sounds get into the apartment in several ways – through walls, windows, doors, communication pipes. The firms producing building materials always sensitively react to demand of consumers and immediately begin to offer ways of solution. Therefore wide choice of materials which can reflect or absorb sound is presented at the modern market of construction materials.

Instruction

1. To reduce passing of sound through walls, the frame facing sheathed by plasterboard plates will be optimal solution. Besides, under plates sound-absorbing material keeps within. Do not save and do not buy instead of it heater. Therefore acquire one of such materials as mineralovolokonny plates, cellulose or basalt wool, mats from coir fiber, pith agglomerates, frothed glass. They perfectly reflect sound, here only thickness of all design has to be not less than 40-50 mm. As it is not a pity, but it is necessary to lose centimeters of useful area.

2. If there is no such desire, use acoustic plaster – the new interesting decision. At first the basic layer 8-20 mm thick which not only will muffle sound is applied on wall, but also will level walls, and then 2-3 mm of finishing layer which will decorate the room.

3. Not to hear neighbors from below, make to yourself "floating floor. For this purpose lay the special insulator of shock noise under tie and only then execute tie. As the insulator use pith agglomerate, mats from coir fiber, sheets of penopropilen, glass fiber mats or fiberglasses.

4. For ceiling use technology of acoustic false ceiling at which plates from fiber glass or mineral fiber are applied, the coefficient of sound absorption makes 70-95%. It is possible to make stretch ceiling of vinyl film with microperforation.

5. Not to hear noise of the street, establish window frames in which there have to be double-glazed windows with thick glasses and long distance between them. Slopes have to be reliably isolated, can choose for this purpose the wall panel.

6. Strangely enough it will sound, but the sound can come even from sockets. If having put ear to the socket, you will hear neighbors, then dismantle it, enclose mineral wool or asbestos cloth in opening and cover all with solution, and only after that install the socket.
