Soundproofing
Enhance comfort and minimise noise in your projects with our portfolio of soundproofing products.
Noise and noise pollution surround us daily, affecting homes, schools, hospitals, restaurants, workplaces, and more. Added to this the increase in urbanisation and transportation in cities, means that architects, designers as well as building companies are constantly looking for solutions to improve the quality of life and comfort in buildings.
Acoustics is an essential consideration in new construction and in the renovation of a building where the comfort of residents and users is a priority. Overall, poor sound insulation in buildings impacts the value of the property exposed to neighbourhood noise by approximately 10% to 20%.
Airborne Noise & Impact Noise
Airborne Noise
Airborne noise is the most common form of noise transmission through the air. Its nature can be outdoors or indoors.
Outdoor traffic from road, rail and air, as well as human traffic on the street are examples of outdoor airborne noise. Indoors, airborne noise can come from various sources such as conversations, music, radios, and televisions.
Impact Noise
Inside a room, the sources of nuisance can also be caused by an impact transmitting vibration directly and indirectly to the supporting structure.
Common examples include footsteps, bouncing balls or furniture from the upper floor. To reduce the sound energy transmission of impact, the best solution is to intervene at the floor level where the noise originates.
Achieve optimal acoustic comfort with SOPREMA’s soundproofing solutions for walls, floors, and ceilings.
With a comprehensive product range, meet or exceed building code requirements, by creating an ideal living environment for homeowners, tenants, and buyers alike.
Applications
Explore our soundproofing solutions suitable for a wide range of applications and requirements.
Walls and Partitions
Soundproofing walls effectively reduces airborne noise, therefore supporting acoustic comfort. Wall noise insulation is a crucial aspect of creating quieter environments, particularly in shared living or working spaces. This process includes acoustic insulation in vertical walls made from materials such as gypsum plasterboard or fibre plasterboards, as well as ceramic brick and concrete blocks. SOPREMA offers a diverse range of TECSOUND membranes.
Ceilings and Floors
Floors and ceilings often transmit impact noise and airborne noise that can disrupt occupants. That’s why effective acoustic sound insulation of these components is crucial. Discover our VELAPHONE and TECSOUND acoustic insulation range, suitable for a wide range of applications and buildings.
Drainpipes and Ducts
The TECSOUND FT 55 AL is also available for wrapping around pipes and ducts, which are then covered, ensuring that noisy pipes are less intrusive.
Aesthetic Solutions
For a more aesthetic solution that maintains high sound absorption, SOPREMA offer products specifically designed for displaying on walls and ceilings. This includes FIBROKUSTIK, a soundproofing panel composed of a wood wool slab and a mineral wool, offering excellent noise reduction and thermal insulation. SOPRAKUSTIK, a high-performance membrane for soundproofing and water resistance, and PUREKUSTIK, consisting of polyester fibre with a high content of recycled material (> 60%). PUREKUSTIK can also be transformed into art, combining functionality with creative artwork.
