Residents of panel houses constantly suffer from noise from neighbors from above, from the side, from below. And this if you want to relax after a day's work or spend a weekend in peace and quiet.
Especially annoying sounds of movement of furniture, heels of heels, music, which comes in the form of rhythmic blows to the ears. How can we protect ourselves from such interference? It is clear - you need to make a soundproof ceiling.
How to make soundproof ceilings?
Note that usually all the noise works together, and consider the effect of synergetics in doing so. Plus, the accumulated stress for a long time has a negative effect on well-being. No wonder the statistics show that urban residents of apartment buildings are more likely to suffer than owners of their own homes.
What are the most common methods of soundproofing we know?
- Stretch ceilings with soundproofing.
- Ceiling ceilings with sound insulation.
- Suspended ceilings with soundproofing.
There are also many soundproof materials: mineral wool plates, acoustic stretch ceilings, cork, foam. They also make complex isolation, including several types of materials. In the latter case, the most effective sound insulation of the ceiling is obtained.
Stretch fabric or film ceilings are stretched on special brackets that are attached to the ceiling. For filing, a metal frame is first mounted, which is covered with plasterboard. In the case of suspended - in the same frame put noise insulation plates.
The spaces between the ceiling structures are filled with materials that provide insulation from various types of noise. For example, the soundproofing of the ceiling from impact noise.
Sound insulation of the ceiling - materials
Excellent insulation provides a ceiling with a mineral wool board. After all, they absorb up to ninety percent of the noise. The technology is very simple: a special structure is attached to the ceiling, which is clogged with mineral wool, and then the frame is covered with plasterboard. Further on it you can perform any work - putty, glue wallpaper and so on. The only drawback of this method is a significant reduction in the ceiling height. Skradyvaetsya about fifteen centimeters.
Acoustic ceilings are usually tension. In their creation, a bet is placed on a special perforated fabric with excellent sound insulation characteristics.
Cork sound insulators have a sea of fans. It's really good stuff. And this quality is provided by natural data of the material: molecular structure and porosity.
Recently, plates have appeared that can be installed on top of the ceiling system. Their advantage is that they absorb the sounds coming from the room in which you live.
Sound insulation of the ceiling with foam does not solve all problems. By itself, he is not very good at this task, but only serves as an assistant. More often it is used in internal partitions of premises.
Sound insulation of the ceiling in a wooden house plays an important role. Usually, harmless natural materials are used here: cork, jute and flax-jute. You can use ecowool. It will work both as a heater and as an assistant to basic soundproof materials. In the wooden house still use a building felt impregnated with a three-percentage solution of sodium fluoride.
And remember - when building a house and repairing an apartment, you need to ensure the strength of walls, ceiling and floor as much as possible - the less vibration there is, the less noise will bother you.
