Effective solutions for sound insulation
How many times have you been unable to sleep because of the noise from your neighbors or the noises coming from outside your home? Noises coming from the street, annoying creaking of furniture, the shouting or simple walking of people in the street: there are many noises that can annoy and create an uncomfortable situation. But is it possible to acoustically isolate domestic environments and prevent them from being “invaded” by annoying noises? Yes and you can do it by adopting some techniques regarding sound insulation.
This is a very broad topic that derives from a long journey of research that still takes place today. We do not yet have all the answers to the questions raised by this issue but in this article we will try to briefly explain what is known and can be done to date.
The general principles
In the construction sector, insulation has been much studied due to the continuous requests from our customers for privacy and comfort within their homes. The fields of application in which insulation or soundproofing interventions are necessary are many: private homes, offices, public places, discos, cinemas, recording studios, etc. First of all, let’s clarify the meaning of the term insulation: it indicates all those building interventions aimed at limiting the transmission of noise and sound.
Physically speaking, the law of mass applies, which explains how the transmission of sounds increases as the mass of the wall considered decreases. This data gives us very important information: the fundamental element underlying excellent acoustic insulation is mass. In fact, there are no magic materials that can achieve formidable reductions in just a few millimetres, but in this regard it is necessary to create walls of a certain thickness in order to perfectly isolate every room in your home from noise.
The materials and techniques to be used
A very important thing to underline is that to carry out these building works it is necessary to make use of expert professionals in the sector and for each situation or customer request there is a specific intervention method to opt for in order to obtain optimal insulation.
The optimal solution that our company offers to its customers is the union of two solutions that will be able to guarantee excellent acoustic comfort: firstly the sound absorbers, which absorb the sound energy, and secondly the soundproofers which reflect the sound in the environment from which it derives by not spreading it outside.
