How to make noise insulation in the apartment

The house is the place where you want to relax and feel comfortable. Are you tired of the midnight feast with karaoke and endless repair at the next wall? So, it's time to think about the noise insulation of the apartment. We will tell you how to reliably "delete" neighbors.

Walls and partitions in panel houses are one of the main conductors of extraneous noise in the apartment. By virtue of their small thickness, they are poorly absorbing sound oscillations. Get rid of noise penetrating outside, multilayer isolation will help. First, attach the framework of wooden rails or steel profiles to the working wall. The optimal distance between the vertical cutting racks is 60-70 cm. To exclude possible vibrations from the floor or walls, under the fasteners of the frame, be sure to put polyurethane / rubber lining. The voids in the structural cavities formed, as close as possible, fill in porous soundproof material - fiberglass, minvata or foam rubber. Next, the frame is lining with plasterboard. Shakes of panels Clause with a painting ribbon and carefully cover with a putty. After that, the walls can be saved with or painting.

Along the way, with sound insulation of the walls, perform "neutralization" of such noise sources such as sockets and electric mounting boxes. For secure isolation, first disconnect the voltage, then completely dismantle the outlet and box. Insert a piece of suitable size, pre-carved from a dense sound-absorbing material (for example, from a compressed basalt fiber or thick cardboard), and seal it with a spacade or cement mortar. After complete grazing of cement, set the previously extracted box and the outlet.

On the noise insulation of the floor must be taken care of during the repair - before laying outdoor coverage. First, correct all the irregularities of the base, then thoroughly clean it and treat with bitumen mastics. Next, along the contour of the room, curse the edge tape. To evenly put acoustic felt on the prepared foundation, and on top of it - a sound insulation membrane or basalt cotton wool. Then, on the perimeter of the room, decompose the dense polyethylene (all joints must be punctured by the construction scotch) with a small adhesive on the walls. The last step is a cement-sand screed. For reinforcement, use a metal grid. After complete fill graze, you can lay the selected floor covering. Such a multi-layered "pie" reliably and for a long time will protect against unwanted noise.

The next step towards a quiet life is noise insulation of the ceiling. The least sound testing is the ceilings of tension type. True, they are not suiced, and without attracting installers in this situation, it is not necessary to evenly stretch the canvas without folds and distortions alone almost unreal. However, with their own hands, you can also sound the ceiling - for example, by creating a multilayer design. Initially, clean it from the old coating (paint, wallpaper), then the prepared surface is punctured by acoustic felt and for reliability, fix the "fungi" by dowels. After that, attach the suspension to the ceiling of profiles (withstand a step of 60 cm), and it is the profile for drywall itself. The cavities in the created crate fill in the insulating material so that a small air layer remains between it and felt. The last barcode is facing the design of plasterboard.

Get rid of noise penetrating the apartment with a staircase, will help sound insulation of entrance doors. To protect yourself from the conversations of the neighbors on the site, the hum of the elevator and the topot of the legs, it is necessary to make a sealing of the door frame. To do this, all the gaps and holes around the door frame thoroughly close the cement mortar, and at the joints of the door cloth and the jacket attach the rubberized seals. From noise penetrating from the street, you can get rid of the installation of new double-glazed windows. If this option is not affordable, go around the perimeter of glass with silicone sealant to achieve their dense connection with the window frame.

Follow the planned plan, use high-quality sound insulation materials - and your efforts are certainly compensated by a comfortable microclimate in the house.
