Wall Soundproofing Solutions
Tired of reading already then jump straight to our most popular product Soundstop panels
All our wall soundproofing solutions aim to transform poor acoustic performance walls. In layman's terms we aim to keep out troublesome neighbour noise. Below is a table that will allow you to compare our various solutions click on any to see more details. On each page is a calculator which will work out what you need to complete the job.
At Soundstop 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 soundproofing the wall, 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 for any issues related to soundproofing walls.
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. Click

A note on fireplaces: We are frequently asked whether it is necessary to run wall soundproofing around the chimney breast on a party wall? While there is no definitive answer on this question, we are of the opinion that soundproofing the alcoves either side is usually sufficient. This is because chimneys are typically constructed to be fire and smoke proof and are at least of double brick construction, whereas the walls either side, the alcoves, maybe poorly constructed and of single brick. Of course there are exceptions, but in the majority of cases you can reduce your labour and time considerably by just doing the alcoves.
