What is Acoustic Insulation
Acoustic insulation, (or soundproofing) is all about adding mass, mass and more mass. This helps to stop noise from passing so easily through a structure. The most effective soundproofing solutions don't just add more of the same mass, they add mass which is comprised of different materials.
Why is Acoustic Insulation necessary?
Controlling noise levels at the source is not always possible – but quality sound insulation of the building envelope can offer a valuable solution. Outside noise from traffic or aircraft – for example – can be significantly blocked out by proper acoustic insulation.
Some of the common products used for acoustic insulation -
Advantages of Acoustic Insulation
- It improves the internal sound field quality by absorbing echo and reverberation within the room, contributing to good room acoustics..
- The resilience leads to the isolation and damping of vibration, thus controlling sound vibrations.
- Enhances the acoustic performance of the system in which the material is installed – both in new and existing buildings.
Application of Acoustic Insulation
Buildings Walls
By applying acoustic insulation on a wall, you can reduce noise from both the inside and outside. One often builds a false wall in order to soundproof the wall.
Flooring & Ceiling
Installing acoustic insulation underneath the floor or in ceilings, suited to block structure-borne sounds and airborne sound.
Commercial Spaces
It’s a great sound control choice for all commercial spaces such as - sound studios, offices and conference rooms, hotels, industrial schools and other education facilities.
