Floor structures soundproofing
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.

Increased audibility of neighbors behind the wall may be found in any apartment, regardless of the type of the housing. As a rule, the anxiety is caused by the airborne noise like voices, TV, screams or dogs barking. Structure-borne noise disturbs more rarely. It may be the movement of an elevator or the flowing water in the pipes. In our company, you can buy the soundproofing which completely removes the noise from the neighbors!
Poor soundproofing of ceiling against the upstairs neighbors is the most common problem encountered by our customers. Upstairs tramping, falling objects, moving furniture and other impact noises are the top irritants. And this is not surprising: the improper construction of the floor in the upstairs neighbors’ apartment may result in exceeding the standard values for as much as 20 dB! Let us analyze the options of soundproofing the ceiling prior to mounting of the stretch ceiling or the suspended drywall ceiling.
No intermediate floor, even the thickest one, can ever meet the requirements of the Building Codes and Regulations (SNiP) for Noise Protection in terms of soundproofing against the impact noises. Due to violation of the building technologies, the intermediate floors often contact with the pipes and become the conductors of structure-born noise. Let us choose the best option for soundproofing the floors and the floor structures of an apartment or a house!
