Many inhabitants of multifamily houses complain that most of all trouble upon them is brought by neighbors from above. On living through wall or below complain much less often. Very seldom happens that noise reached evenly from all neighboring apartments. And it means that walls and floor in your apartment have more or less decent sound insulation, but will not tell about ceiling of it in any way. Therefore if you want to reduce considerably extraneous noises in your apartment — first of all take care of ceiling.
It is required to you
- Construction mixes for sealing of joints.
- The pith panels soundproofing plates, fiber glass.
- Construction stock.
- All-purpose adhesive.
Instruction
1. Attentively examine ceiling. First of all it is necessary to close up all slots if those are found. It is desirable to remove old whitewashing. Sometimes happens that the slot between soffit slabs is skillfully disguised by finishing materials. From below it is not visible, but it misses noise just amazingly. Examine seams between walls and soffit slabs.
2. Close up all seams by means of polyurethane foam and sealant. As the stretch ceiling best of all will be suitable for the best sound insulation, all has to be equal to you as the closed-up seams look. The main thing — that they missed as little as possible noise.
3. On special "mushrooms" fix rolled Penoplex heater. Its thickness can be different therefore "fungi" need to be selected specially. Consult with the seller in hardware store. For durability it is possible to put heater on all-purpose adhesive. Penoplesk it is necessary to fix end-to-end. Try to avoid slots.
4. If noise from neighbors was reduced significantly and does not disturb you more, can be limited to one layer. Anyway sound insulation reduces room height, and the less there will be layer — the better. However there are situations when the second layer and even the third is necessary. In this case it is convenient to arrive as warming usually becomes — to lay layer of other insulator, over it — framework from rails, and already then to make facing seam, having previously carefully closed all slots.
5. If you have decided to be limited to one layer of shumoiolyator, you needed only to make hinged ceilings. They can be built from gypsum cardboard or other materials, according to your desire.
