There are many reasons why we want Soundproofing Between Walls. Let’s have a look at a few of these: Privacy, Noise pollution, etc. Notably, one must first establish the type of sound we must address. As a result, both Airbourne and impact noise must be considered to solve the problem effectively. When we Soundproof Walls, it also usually works as thermal insulation.
Many modern-day apartments are built with cost savings in mind. As a result, some of these units seem to have noise pollution between the walls. In most cases, fitting an appropriately insulated internal Drywall Partitioning wall can solve this problem.
Types of Noise
Airborne noise: Typically from traffic, people talking on radios and TVs, etc. Airborne sound is the most common problem. Indeed, airborne noise is all around us in our everyday lives.
Impact noise: Regarded as one of the most challenging noise problems to solve. In general impact, the sound is hammering, banging, stomping, etc.)

We Can Install Insulated Drywall To Reduce Noise Pollution
Benefits of Soundproofing Between Walls
As we are all aware, Noise pollution is stressful. We have labelled this problem as pollution and regarded it as intrusive noise. People living near airports have sleepless nights as planes fly overhead. One of the most common questions we encounter is soundproofing between walls, followed by Soundproofing between floors. Many homeowners will buy their first apartment, hoping for a healthy, happy life. Only to discover that evening time in the complex is party time—a nightmare in the making, causing friction between neighbours.
- Privacy in the office or boardroom
- Privacy at home
- Increase productivity in the workplace
- Reduce stress; noise triggers anxiety, one of the major causes of many health problems, including heart disease.
- Silence is golden
Soundproofing between walls
Noisy Neighbors: Soundproof Between Walls
As homes in complexes are relatively close to each other, noise pollution is one of the common issues. It is often encountered in simplexes and townhouses attached to a respective wall. Making home life a bit of a nightmare, especially if your neighbours don’t need the sleep you need. As a result, soundproofing walls is often the only way forward. However, if this is not installed correctly, it can be a waste of money. Office space, boardrooms, doctor surgeries, etc., also need privacy.
Soundproofing Walls
Ideally, one must fit Cavitybatt insulation or a higher-density insulation material like Energylite 475. Preferably, the wall directly opposite the noise source must be insulated. Soundproofing walls with the proper insulation is very effective.
However, soundproofing walls are not always the only solution, as noise pollution is also airborne. Often, roof space, windows, and walls are combined. Therefore, covering all aspects of the problem must be addressed to solve the problem.
Application
Therefore, installing the insulation starts with the drywall structure framework fitted directly against the wall. Secondly, ensure that the structure allows insulation and a cavity space. Leaving a cavity space between the insulation and the new drywall is essential. The Drywall must not be less than 12mm thick.
- Fit drywall grid
- Leave a cavity space of at least 25 to 50mm
- Install Energylite 475 at least 75mm thick
- Finally, complete the drywall and skim
Install Heavy Curtains
Installing heavy acoustic curtains will be beneficial. Ideally, the curtains should be long enough to fanfold them. As a result, the curtains will act as an acoustic barrier, reducing noise pollution via the window.
Install Acoustic Roof Insulation
Remember that not all roof insulation materials have good acoustic properties when installing the Roof Insulation. In these applications, it is imperative that insulation with a high NRC (Noise Reduction Coefficient.)
As a result, Ecose Insulation or Aerolite Glasswool are the best choices for these applications. The 135mm Ecose Insulation has one of the highest NRC values at 1.13, followed by 135mm Aerolite with an NRC of 1.05.
Sound-absorbing panels are also ideal when all the internal work has been completed.
Cost Of Soundproofing Walls
There are several factors to take into account when soundproofing walls. In some cases, a single Drywall partitioning panel is ideal. However, in most cases, an insulated drywall system is the best option.
The importance of adding soundproofing insulation against the wall goes without saying. Adding good-quality acoustic insulation is the best soundproofing wall option. However, the acoustic insulation does not need to cost an arm and a leg.
In many cases, low-density insulation products like Think Pink Aerolite will kill all sound between walls. In reality, we install the 135mm Aerolite insulation in nightclubs and pups to kill noise leaving the building via the roof. The cost of Aerolite Insulation can be found on our price list page.
