Soundproofing |
|
Soundproofing a room can be easy using the right soundproofing material. There are many different types of soundproofing-material. Some soundproofing material is designed to breakup and capture echo's while others are simply designed to stop sound. The major difference between the different types of soundproofing material is the end use.
The average person only needs a soundproofing material to stop sound from coming through walls and floors. The need for echo dissipating products is generally limited to the music industry.

Soundproofing Walls in Homes |
|
Soundproofing walls is easy when you're using the right soundproofing-material. This can be done in a new home during construction of as a renovation on an older home.
soundproofing membrane is made of a high-density polyethylene with a 3mm closed cell foam backing. soundproofing material provides 26db (decibels) of soundproofing as well as moisture control and enhancing the thermal insulation of your home.

Installing A Soundproofing Material on Walls |
|
Installing soundproofing material on walls is as simple as rolling it out and attaching it to the wall studs. Once hung you can install your drywall. In addition to the soundproofing and enhanced thermal insulation benefits, it also provides a drainage path for moisture. The drainage path helps protect your walls against moisture seepage from cracks in your foundation wall. Instead of having water stains on your walls and black edges of carpet, you'll have dryer, warmer and quieter walls.

Soundproofing Material for Floors in Homes |
|
Installing a soundproofing material under floors is even simpler that installing them on walls. To install soundproofing material under your floor, all you have to do is roll it out, cut to fit and start installing your flooring. I know it seems way to simple but hears the secret… It is just that simple. All the extras you use to need to install a subfloor under laminate or hardwood have just been eliminated. So not only is this membrane about half the price of common soundproofing materials, but it also eliminates all other subfloor installation materials for laminate and hardwood. When installing it under carpet you will need to install plywood overtop of the membrane, but not to worry about squishing it as it is pressure tested at 3200 pounds per square foot.
soundproofing material helps protect your flooring material against moisture seepage in a similar way it protects your walls. When your concrete substrate cracks, in basement or ground level rooms, moisture will seep in and start to warp and twist traditional subfloors if you have them. Otherwise the water will just start seeping through your floor. With soundproofing material the moisture is redirected to the drainage system for removal. Your floors never even see the moisture.

Soundproofing Glass |
|
We currently do not have any soundproofing for glass but our best suggestion, (or at least one that worked for me) is to have double-planed glass installed in your home.
