If your home is close to a highway, railway or industrial plant, then you should be aware of the problem of noise, which negatively affects the human nervous system. By reviewing the he alth regulations, you will be able to find out that the recommended noise level is within 40 dB during the day and 30 dB at night.
Solving the noise problem
In order to reduce the noise level in rooms, soundproofing should be used, which covers walls, ceilings and floors. This allows you to create an obstacle to extraneous sounds. On sale today you can find sound-absorbing materials in a wide range. As a rule, they have a fibrous structure, but sometimes they have a cellular or granular structure.
Sound-absorbing material refers to if its sound absorption coefficient is not less than 0.4. The principles for choosing a sound-proof barrier will depend on the task. For example, soundproof membranes capable of reflecting noise without letting sound in. about them youyou can learn more by reading the article.
Main varieties of soundproof membranes
To increase the comfort of life, you can use soundproof membranes, which are for sale. Among the main varieties can be distinguished:
- "Teksound";
- SoundGuard Membrane;
- "Front Acoustic".
The first type allows you to form a noise-absorbing barrier of the floor, walls and ceiling, only minimally increasing their thickness. These soundproofing membranes are polymer, rubber and bitumen free, making them flexible, resilient, durable and strong. Soundproofing "Teksound" refers to the materials of the latest generation. It has viscoelastic properties and high bulk density. This provides key qualities for effective soundproofing.
The material is unique and suitable for use in apartments, private houses, office and industrial buildings. With it, you can create soundproofing of any surface. The thickness of such membranes does not exceed 3.7 mm. Installation can be carried out independently, for this there is no need to use additional tools.
Reviews on SoundGuard Membrane 3.8
Quite often, soundproofing is used during repairs today. A wall that has been supplemented with a membrane can effectively deal with extraneous sounds. Consumers like the above material because it provideshigh-quality insulation and can be used in premises of any purpose.
Structures where the membrane can be installed can be framed and frameless. According to users, the membrane can even be used as an interlayer where drywall or plywood is used. This soundproof floor membrane is also great. You can lay it as a substrate when arranging a floating screed.
The composition contains polymer binders and natural mineral filler. Buyers note that the membrane is elastic, and this characteristic is maintained at temperatures down to -20 ° C. When bent, the soundproofing does not break. You can use it for any surfaces, including:
- walls;
- gender;
- ceilings;
- frameless and frame structures.
Consumers emphasize that this material is suitable for rooms with high humidity and for buildings of temporary residence. The operating temperature range is quite wide and varies from -60 to +180 °С.
Characteristics of the soundproof membrane "Front Acoustic"
Soundproofing of interior partitions can be made using the "Front Acoustic" material, the dimensions of which are 1200 x 2500 x 4 mm. The weight of one square meter is 7.5 kg. For such a volume of material, you will have to pay 833 rubles.
The membrane has the appearance of a thin elastic material, which is made from rubber compounds. ATthe advantages are high density, impressive specific gravity, as well as the level of sound insulation, which is 29 dB. With the help of this membrane, soundproofing of walls can be performed, materials of this type have a slight thickness, so they will not steal free space. The membrane is almost odorless, does not absorb water and is resistant to decay. It has an adhesive backing which makes it extremely easy to install on vertical surfaces.
Mounting schemes for the "Teksound" membrane
Soundproof membranes can be installed using one or more technologies. For example, if we are talking about drywall partitions, then you should use a 13-mm GKL and a Texound membrane, which is closed with a second layer of drywall. The next layer is mineral wool, which is again covered with drywall.
If you want to soundproof the floor, then the outer layer can be ceramic tiles, under which a cement screed is laid. A membrane will be located between it and the concrete floor. Soundproof membranes are also used in conjunction with brick partitions.
The outer layer will be plaster, followed by a 13 cm brick wall, followed by a Texound membrane, followed by mineral wool, and then 13 mm drywall. Tiles can be laid on the floor, under which there is a reinforced cement screed, supplemented from below by the Texound membrane. The bottom layer will be the concrete floor.
Alternative schemes for mounting the "Teksound" membrane
Teksound brand membranes are quite often used in facade, ceiling and gable systems. In this case, the base becomes the inner layer, then there is a layer of plaster, followed by insulation. Below there will be a hollow space, and then an adjustable acoustic caliper.
The layer that is closer to the room will be another piece of the specified material, and then drywall follows. Soundproof membranes are also laid together with drainage pipe and air duct systems. Inside there will be a pipe fixed to a plastic element. The system is closed with a membrane and fixed with aluminum tape.
Conclusion
Quite often, during repairs, soundproofing is carried out today. At the same time, a wall or any other surface acquires the ability to capture and detain extraneous sounds. At the same time, modern materials are suitable even for small apartments, where the issue of lack of free space is relevant.
It is important to choose the material not only for quality, but also for cost. For example, for a synthetic soundproof membrane in a roll with an area of 9.76 m2, you will have to pay 6,500 rubles. The material may have a self-adhesive layer, while for 6.1 m2 you will have to pay 7,400 rubles
