So you want to Soundproof a Wall?

Wall Soundproofing Solutions

When researching information on wall soundproofing you are likely confronted by a confusing array of acoustic materials and soundproof panels, along with wildly varying performance statistics. At Soundstop we simplify the process.

Solution Types

When soundproofing walls the choices fall into two broad types: Slim-line solutions that are stick-on and independent wall solutions that involve creating a deeper stud structure.

TYPE 1: Slim-line

For those with limited space, the slim line solutions are around 50mm (2 inch) thick, in general easier to install and can very much be a DIY job with only cutting and gluing skills needed.

TYPE 2: Independent Wall

These solutions involve the erection of a wood or metal stud structure. They are more labour intensive and more space consuming but they offer better performance.

Have you Thought about these Weak Spots?

How do our Wall Soundproofing solutions work?

Our wall soundproofing solutions work by creating layers of acoustic materials that block sound waves to create an effective barrier against noise. 

Each solution is made up of different combinations of soundproofing products, such as mass-loaded membranes, acoustic boards, specialist clip system and other sound-dampening products to provide superior performance. 

Alongside delivering soundproofing, our solutions also meet different requirements like our slim-line options, such as our SM20, stud wall upgrade and ultra slim line solutions. 

We also offer high performance solutions, such as our GenieClip and independent stud wall solutions, which can tackle the loudest nuisance noise problems.

All our wall solutions can be tailored to suit any requirement, with optional upgrades available to increase performance, reduce depth gain or meet budget requirements.

Each of our wall soundproofing solutions have a solution calculator, which works out exactly what you need. Simply put in your wall dimensions, select your upgrades and the calculator will put your soundproofing kit together so you have everything you need.

What are the Benefits of our Wall Soundproofing solutions?

Wall soundproofing is a great way to improve the comfort and safety of any environment. It can reduce sound coming from both the outside and inside, allowing for more peace and quiet. 

This can be especially beneficial in reducing distractions, creating a more comfortable environment, or helping to improve sleep quality. It can also help protect against any potential health risks associated with prolonged exposure to loud noises, such as hearing loss.

From loud music and movies to noisy hobbies and machinery, our soundproofing solutions can reduce the noise impact they have no matter the wall type.

Wall soundproofing can have numerous benefits in both residential and commercial settings, from improved acoustics to increased privacy, and our solutions make it easier than ever to find the right soundproofing.

What to Consider when choosing Wall Soundproofing solution?

When it comes to soundproofing walls, there are several important factors to take into account. 

Firstly, consider the level of sound reduction you need and the type of soundproofing material that will best suit your requirements. For instance, for extreme soundproofing protection, using the GenieClip system with the Tecsound and SBX board upgrade is ideal. 

Additionally, the thickness of the soundproofing material should be taken into consideration; while higher performing solutions usually take up more space, they also provide better sound insulation. For example, our Ultra Slim Wall Solution takes up only 19-29mm, delivering 12-14dB performance, where as our GenieClip with Stud Wall Solution takes up 124-185mm but delivers an impressive 64-74dB.

Next, factor in the cost of installation, as some soundproofing solutions require an experienced professional to install correctly. Some of our solutions can be installed by a competent DIYer who is confident in undertaking tasks such as measuring and cutting materials, applying glues and fillers, and lifting heavy loads. Our SM20 Wall Panel Solution would our recommendation for anyone looking for a DIY option.

Finally, remember to consider the aesthetic appeal of the soundproofing material, as some materials may be more visually pleasing than others. With careful consideration of these factors, you can choose the best wall soundproofing solution for your needs.
