Using MaxForte-ShumoIzol under the screed is a standard floor soundproofing solution for new buildings where the sand-concrete screed is required. The increase in floor soundproofing equal to 27 dB guarantees the compliance with all requirements of the Building Codes and Regulations (SNiP) “Noise protection” including those for class A “Luxury Housing”! In addition to superior soundproofing, MaxForte-ShumoIzol also provides high-quality waterproofing of the premises.

Reliable floor soundproofing for apartments and offices. Using MaxForte-SoundPRO under the screed makes possible to cut off completely both the airborne noises (like voices, shouts, dogs barking) and the impact noises (like tramping and falling objects). The advantage of this soundproofing option is a small thickness which is particularly important for low ceiling bearing-wall houses. MaxForte-SoundPRO rolls are easy to lay or raise to the walls, and this allows to accelerate the works. Reducing the noise level to 34 dB ensures the complete isolation from the noise by the neighbors from below.

The floor soundproofing with laying of the 110 kg/m³ MaxForte-ECOslabs provides the maximum soundproofing at an affordable price. This option is ideal for rooms with increased requirements for sound insulation (home stereo or theater) as well as for any apartments where the floor is planned to be raised for at least 9-10 cm. The 110 kg/m³ MaxForte-ECOslab is specially designed for the floor soundproofing. That’s why it combines, on the one hand, the high-quality sound insulation and, on the other hand, the structural stability of the screed. Due to the optimal density and structure of the 110 kg/m³ ECOslab, the screed behavior is very stable: it does not spring and does not sag over time!

Basic soundproofing of apartment floors. MaxForte-ShumoIzol rolls should be spread over a pre-leveled floor and then covered with two layers of gypsum plasterboard sheets. For a dry screed, the plywood sheets or the ready-made components of KNAUF-Superpol system can also be used. The advantages of this option are the fast mounting (no wet works required) and the small thickness of the whole structure which is particularly important for low ceiling bearing-wall houses. This design provides the impact noise reduction of as down as 20 dB!

Soundproof floating joisted floors can me effectively used in reconstruction of buildings with wooden floor structures (where the use of massive screeds is impermissible) as well as in the repaired apartments where no wet works are allowable. The joisted floor is the proven solution for effective soundproofing against both impact and airborne noise. Quick mounting and simple design make the joisted floor an attractive option for the floor soundproofing!

Ideal for small apartments in new buildings. The wall soundproofing design is identical to the previous option, but with addition of thin 60/27 mm KNAUF profile for attachment of gypsum plasterboard and drywall sheets. Using the KNAUF profile allows to eliminate immediately all typical for new buildings irregularities and height discontinuities of the walls, and significantly save on the levelling of the walls. After mounting of sound insulation you will immediately get a smooth surface. In addition, the works on electricity and the electrical outlets are simplified: no grooves in the walls will be needed since the wiring will pass inside the frame and the outlet boxes will be cut into the drywall. High strength, small thickness and excellent sound insulation made this option the most popular among the experts and the customers.

Maximum sound insulation at minimum cost. If you are not embarrassed by the loss of the area, then the option for you will be the 100/50 mm KNAUF profile filled with two layers of the 60 kg/m³ MaxForte-ECOslab. This structure provides excellent sound insulation against low frequencies. This design has proved itself as ideal for use in home theaters, stereo systems listening rooms and home studios.

This option provides the maximum sound insulation of the ceiling in the most difficult cases including home theaters, stereo systems, or strong impact noises from the upstairs. As the first layer, the MaxForte-SoundPRO in rolls should be attached to the ceiling; then, the KNAUF profiles should be attached via the vibration insulating hangers; next, the sound-absorbing 60 kg/m³ MaxForte-ECOslabs should be placed between the profiles. The combined use of two sound-absorbing materials - the MaxForte SoundPRO and the 60 kg/m³ ECOslab - allows to get the highest possible sound absorption at the entire range of the frequencies including the low frequencies (the impact noises like tramping or falling objects). After the mounting, we get a completely soundproof ceiling with an increase in sound insulation of 22-25 dB!

This is a second thin option of ceiling soundproofing. In this option, the impact noise is isolated by the VibroStop Standart vibration insulating hangers, and the sound is absorbed by the 80 kg/m³ MaxForte-ECOslabs (thin slabs of 3 cm in thickness). This structure is based on the 60/27 mm KNAUF profile providing a smooth ceiling surface. After the ceiling is mounted, it is ready for finishing; no additional levelling should be required. The above structure is designed for complete isolation against the domestic noises – like voices, TV, footsteps and trampling – in the apartment buildings. Noise reduction down to 14 dB.

This thinnest option of ceiling soundproofing comprises the drywall and the profiles. It is an ideal solution for the apartments with low ceilings where every centimeter counts. This structure is based on the 60/27 mm KNAUF profile providing a smooth ceiling surface immediately. The rolls of MaxForte-SoundPRO – a state-of-the-art composite material which is only 12 mm in thickness – are applied for sound insulation. This material should be attached to the ceiling with ordinary expansion anchors. At the points where the frame is attached to the concrete, the SoundPRO is compressed and due to this acts as a damper reducing the vibration. At the rest area of the ceiling, the material absorbs the sound waves due to its fibrous structure. Thanks to the enhanced flexibility of SoundPRO, it can be used as sound insulation even for complex-shaped ceilings (with pipes, wiring, or height difference). 3-4 times reduction of noise from the upstairs (down to 12-14 dB).

Maximum sound insulation of partitions at minimum cost. Soundproof drywall partitions can be the excellent replacement for gypsum partition blocks or foam concrete blocks. The partitions made as per KNAUF technology are highly rigid and able to withstand the heavy loads. The standard 10 cm thick 60 kg/m³ MaxForte-ECOslab partition ensures sound insulation of 55 dB which is sufficient for comfortable stay. Featuring the simple design and quick installation, the soundproof drywall partitions are a proved reliable solution for sound insulation of apartments, offices, recording studios and other premises.

A standard option of the floor structures soundproofing suitable for almost any housing (with some variations) is as follows: at least three layers (150 mm) of the sound-absorbing 60 kg/m³ MaxForte-ECOslabs should be mounted between the beams to isolate the airborne noise (like voices, shouts, TV, radio), and the vibration dampers (damping pads) should be mounted on the beams to isolate the impact noise (creaks, tramping, footsteps, falling objects). In addition, the massive sheet materials (like plywood, OSB, gypsum plasterboard) should be used instead of the rough floor boards in order to increase the tightness and sound insulation of the floor structure.
