With the ever-increasing noise pollution, it becomes more and more important where we live and work. Good sound insulation is at the heart of our well-being and peace of mind. Silence has become a luxury in our fast-paced daily lives, and no one should settle for noise, as it comes with everything else and health problems.
That's why silence is one of the leading factors we care about when choosing a residence, especially if we have had bitter experiences with noisy neighbors. But when we have no choice or do not want to move to another place, we need to think about suitable sound insulation.
When it comes to building a sound-insulating wall, the Knauf Sonicboard sound-insulating gypsum board is the best solution. The panels have high raw density, providing optimal sound insulation, durability, and reliability for a good rest and relaxation.
What does the sound-insulating gypsum board actually represent?
Sound is a series of vibrations. When you restrict the vibrations, it will reduce the sound. Of course, a home cannot be completely soundproof, as it is not entirely airtight.
Your main goal is to find out where the sound is coming from and seal it. Knauf Sonicboard sound-insulating gypsum board achieves this through its high density.
The thicker the walls, the less sound penetrates. Thin gypsum board actually amplifies sound vibrations. That's why Knauf Sonicboard sound-insulating gypsum board is thicker and has a core created through a process called organic layer damping.
Each layer of gypsum alternates with a layer of another material that gives it density and hardness. The denser the gypsum board, the fewer sound vibrations will disrupt your daily life.
Sound-insulating gypsum board is not only denser and thicker but also more robust thanks to the additional layers. This means it provides you with less noise, as well as higher resistance and reliability over time.
Where to use Knauf Sonicboard sound-insulating gypsum board?
You can use sound-insulating gypsum board in any room you want to isolate from sound vibrations. Since it is denser, it will provide you with thermal insulation and durability.
Knauf sound insulation boards have applications in all areas of interior design. They not only soundproof but also reduce the "echo" in the rooms. Room acoustics are related to the spread of sound in the room.
When you isolate the walls and ceilings, you also reduce the transmission of sound from one room to another. This is particularly important for apartments and houses with multiple rooms where several households live.
By mounting Knauf Sonicboard sound-insulating gypsum board, you reduce sound insulation by up to three decibels compared to "normal" gypsum boards. What may seem like a small difference can have a remarkable effect. Considering that the difference between a quiet room and normal conversation is sometimes only ten decibels, one-third of that is already significant.
As mentioned, high-quality sound-insulating gypsum board from Knauf looks almost identical to other gypsum boards in appearance and processing. However, it has higher density, allowing it to vibrate less and thus stop sound transmission.
In addition to using the right soundproofing materials, proper processing and installation are also essential for good and effective sound insulation. If you use two layers of Knauf sound insulation gypsum board, there is no need to sand the filled joints of the first layer.
It is essential, however, that all joints are sealed over the entire surface. To do this, press the jointing material tightly with a spatula or a trowel and pull it along the length. Dried and protruding edges can be scraped off with a spatula.
If you want optimal results, you can use two layers of Knauf sound insulation gypsum board. Seal the joints of the first layer so that the surface is flat and place a second layer.
You can significantly improve sound insulation in the rooms by insulating the ceiling with Knauf sound insulation gypsum board.
Whether it's the noisy games of the children living above you, the music the parents love to listen to, the footsteps or the high-pitched conversations, the ceiling lets the noise pass without any control.
The board reduces the room height by a few centimeters, but provides you with more comfort for your peaceful rest. For this purpose, use two layers of Knauf sound insulation gypsum board, at a price that will allow you to soundproof your entire home. But even if you use only one layer, it will provide you with significantly more tranquility and silence.
Protect yourself from noisy neighbors, isolate the rooms from each other, and live in peace and harmony with your entire family.
The solution against sound pollution is one - Sonicboard sound-insulating gypsum board with a price and quality that will enchant you.
