Soundproofing Caerphilly

Soundproofer Caerphilly Wales (CF83): If your property in Caerphilly is being impacted by noise, perhaps you should look into putting in some soundproofing to bring a new sense of tranquility to your lounge, bedroom, studio or home office. In some instances you might be thinking about soundproofing so that you don't disturb other inhabitants from a home cinema, children's room or music studio. No matter which soundproofing requirements are needed, it will be essential for everybody's sanity and peace of mind.

Before we are able to identify techniques for reducing sound pollution, it would be advantageous to understand just how sound travels and is transmitted.

Sound basically moves in two ways around a home:

1. In open spaces by movement of air.

2. Through objects by the vibration of the material.

Sound is also transmitted through water, however unless you're thinking about soundproofing an aquarium or swimming pool we will only deal with the isolation via materials and air.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH THE AIR

Any gaps around doors, ill fitting windows, heating ducts and even electrical sockets and switches can all be responsible for the transmission of sound outside or into a room. All noise and sounds will initiate movement and vibration of the air molecules, and this is what we hear. All sounds travel through the air in this same fashion; it does not matter if it's traffic, music, aircraft, kids playing or heavy machinery that produces the sound.

Any holes within the room can be considered to be a leak and will have to be closed off.

SOUND TRAVELLING THROUGH OBJECTS AND STRUCTURES

We all know that sound is simply the vibration of air being picked up by the ear, but that vibration is also transferred to solid materials. Sound can be transferred around a dwelling from its original source through the vibration of ceilings, walls and floors. Care must be taken with solid concrete or brick walls, such as a basement, since sound can be transmitted and amplified to other parts of your house.

However, how can these sound generating effects be prevented from causing a problem? The answer is naturally, soundproofing!

SIMPLE SOUNDPROOFING STEPS

Consider covering a bare floor surface, which resonates and reflects sound, with a carpet or rug. These soft coverings will help to soak up noises but can also add a touch of style to a previously bare room. Hanging curtains and wall coverings can also avoid sound reflections and vibrations through windows and walls without the need to hire a team of professional soundproofing installers.

Finding and sealing any holes or gaps in the rooms, think light fittings, windows, electrical sockets and door frames, is also a straightforward job for a competent do-it-yourselfer. It is possible to buy professional acoustic sealants in many builders merchants that moderate the transfer of sound by suppressing the sound waves. They may be a tad more expensive than regular plaster or sealants, but they're worth it for their soundproofing qualities.

For those of you who are renovating a property or redecorating a room, evaluate the soundproofing properties of adding another skin of plasterboard or soundboard, (also called drywall, gypsum board or sheet rock), whilst you're undertaking the project. Plasterboard is a very dense material that is both economical and efficient for soundproofing an area. If you are putting in a home office, home cinema or music studio then plasterboard can help in reducing sound pollution for that room, and can be decorated easily after completion. If you do decide to use plasterboard to aid your soundproofing exploits it is best to employ a specialist fitter in Caerphilly, to achieve the maximum possible benefit from its installation.

Lastly you need to check all doors in the area you're seeking to soundproof. Hollow doors are a relatively cheap option but their soundproofing capabilities are a far cry from perfect. Solid wood doors, whilst a little bit more expensive, can do wonders for improving the soundproofing in a room.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING CAERPHILLY

If your home is in a high noise pollution location, such as near an airport or next to busy roads, you will have to be more innovative in how to increase the soundproofing qualities of your house. You will receive the best soundproofing outcome by employing the expertise of a professional soundproofing specialist.

They will ask the four following questions during the initial analysis of your requirements:

1. What is the area you wish to soundproof made from? (i.e. a brick wall, a plasterboarded partition wall or a fully lined concrete wall).
2. What is the main spot where the noise creates the biggest issues? i.e. Is it emanating through doors, from the walls, down from overhead or up through the floors, or is it a mixture of all these factors.
3. What are the particular sounds that need to soundproofed? i.e. Is it sounds from within your property such as a family room or music room, or outside noises such as next door neighbours, road noise, aircraft, etc.
4. What are the dimensions of the area or room that must be soundproofed?

A specialist soundproofing contractor in Caerphilly will look into all of these factors to provide remedies for your sound problems over a range of budgets. There will be different remedies for each of the key areas the room that you want to soundproof.

PROFESSIONAL SOUNDPROOFING OF CEILINGS, FLOORS and WALLS

To soundproof any sort of room requires two key strategies:

1. Sound absorption needs to be improved.
2. Reduce the effects on the way sound is reflected off and transmitted through solid surfaces.

A site survey will be needed to examine the aspects to be improved.

A professional soundproofer will evaluate the different ways to add density and mass to the areas with problems. This additional mass will include ways to improve absorption of the sound energy by the use of acoustic rubber or foam to gain the maximum noise reduction impacts.

Voids between floor joists might need insulation to eliminate the resonating space between them. If you visualise such spaces as similar to a drum or wooden cajon then you'll see that by leaving floor or ceiling joist spaces and wall cavities empty, you are creating a sound amplifying area.

Soundproofing is enhanced if multiple layers of varying density materials are used, rather than installing only one type of material. This is due to the fact that different materials react better with varying frequencies and will deliver a much better overall resolution to your soundproofing.

All soundproofing technicians in Caerphilly will be needing to follow the legislation for domestic buildings specified by Part E of the Building Regulations. This regulation has the purpose of protecting other residents in the immediate area from the impact and effect of sound pollution.

Trade associations in the soundproofing sector who offer guidance, qualifications and training are the Association of Noise Consultants (ANC) and the Institute of Acoustics (IOA). Any Caerphilly company showing IOA or ANC accreditation will have been appraised to make certain they provide the highest reliability, quality and standards of work within the soundproofing industry.

Searching Online For a Soundproofer
