Wall Soundproofing Solutions

Solutions Index || Wall Solutions || Floor Access || Ceiling Access

Our wall solutions aim to transform poor acoustic performance walls.

At Soundstop.co.uk we aim to increase this level of acoustic protection by at least 13-25dB. In a typically poor performing wall where you can hear TV and loud speech easily you would, post treatment, find loud speech essentially inaudible and you would only faintly hear music, if at all. Be aware that there are other products on the market that claim to increase acoustic protection by 35db just by adding a single board to the wall, we believe this is unachievable and would treat such claims with extreme caution. We also offer a range of solutions starting with a very simple stick on panel to other solutions that will produce in excess of 30db uplift.

The science of sound, and what decibel reduction means is not easily explained in a few sentences so for more information please consult our sound glossary which might explain a few more details or look at the case studies page or of course feel free to contact us by phone or email.

We offer five types of wall soundproofing solution and the result achieved by each needs to be weighed up against the price and the loss of room size. It is also worthwhile thinking about adding acoustic mineral wool (AMW60 100mm) applied directly against the party wall under your floors, and in the ceiling void next to the offending party wall, if you think sound maybe penetrating here as well.

Solution 1

Sound Stop panels - Our most popular product due to ease of installation and overall cost.

This soundproofing solution involves the least amount of room size loss (52mm or 2 inches) is very DIY-able and produces good results (see case studies)

Solution 2

Resilient bars, acoustic mineral wool slabs, battens acoustic plasterboard wall

If you can afford to lose a little more room size (100mm or 4 inches) This is again relatively straightforward to achieve from a DIY standpoint. The use of resilient bars acoustic mineral wool and 31.5mm of high density acoustic plasterboard achieves very good results in excess of 19db uplift.

Solution 3

Acoustic membrane resilient bars and acoustic plasterboard

The incorporation of the acoustic membrane, a revolutionary new product, into solution 2 can uplift the acoustic privacy of solution 2 to well in excess of 20db.

Solution 4

Independent stud wall acoustic mineral wool, resilient bars and acoustic mineral wool.

Where sound from the neighbouring wall is extreme and the loss of room space is not a major issue we would recommend this solution. A new stud wall ideally using 50mm by 75mm stud work set off the existing wall incorporating acoustic mineral wool within the stud work and a double layer of acoustic plasterboard. This will result in a loss of 150mm in the room size but a gain in acoustic privacy in excess of 30db.

Solution 5

Stud Wall Soundproofing

Stud walls are generally built to physically separate two areas with little thought to soundproofing. Our solution will provide an excellent uplift to acoustic privacy.
