Soundproof Floors Using Barrier Shield

Barrier Shield is used in many different applications as a sound insulation mat. It is suitable for use as a floor soundproof underlay. Layover timber floors to reduce airborne sound transfer through the floor. Quick and easy to fit, these soundproof mats will increase the sound insulation of domestic floors. Combine the mass loaded vinyl barrier with acoustic insulation for even higher levels of soundproofing.

Soundproof Walls and Ceilings

Combining the mass loaded vinyl acoustic damping material with the acoustic plasterboard will also increase the sound insulation performance. Making it suitable for use on walls and ceilings. Rooms that require additional levels of soundproofing like studios and home cinemas should consider this type of soundproof matting as part of an acoustic system.

The best method of soundproofing enclosures

Due to its versatility and flexibility, Barrier Shield is used for soundproofing enclosures. Line the inside of an enclosure made of lightweight materials such as ply or MDF to reduce airborne sound escaping. Combining the mass loaded vinyl barrier with an acoustic grade foam is the best method to soundproof an enclosure. Eggbox foam would be a suitable acoustic foam to combine with the Barrier Shield. The acoustic foam absorbs sound as it bounces around inside the enclosure.

    Noisestop Barrier Shield

    Barrier Shield soundproof matsMass loaded barrier membrane that has multiple uses, soundproofing for walls, floors, ceilings and enclosures.

    Noisestop Systems Barrier Shield is a versatile high density soundproof mat with a variety of applications. The matting is used to add mass and density to the area that it is applied. Combine with sheet materials such as plasterboard to form an effective sound barrier for walls and ceilings. Barrier Shield will reduce airborne sound transfer when laid over timber floors. Increase the mass of the lining when building a soundproof enclosure by applying Barrier Shield to the enclosure.

    Product information

    • Thickness 2.5mm and 5mm
    • Weight 5kg and 10kg
    • Sheets 1200mm x 1200mm
    • Coverage 1.44 sqm

    Barrier Shield mats are easy to handle and can be cut to any shape with a sharp knife or a heavy duty pair of scissors. Depending on the type of installation you are doing the mats can be fixed to most substrates with a strong spray adhesive, we recommend using Smart Tack adhesive. The mats can also be fixed in place using nails or heavy duty staples.

    Fitting Barrier Shield to soundproof walls and ceilings

    Improve the sound insulation of walls and ceilings with Barrier Shield. The mats can be applied to wall and ceiling solutions in a number of ways. To increase the sound insulation of stud walls apply the matting directly to the stud frame by nailing the acoustic barrier to the framework. This way the matting will act as an acoustic curtain to block sound that would normally transfer through light weight stud walls.

    Apply Barrier Shield to the back of sheet materials such as plasterboard. The product will increase the mass and density of the panels. By applying it to the back of plasterboards it will reduce vibration of the board, stopping sound transferring. Attach the mats with a spray adhesive to hold them in place before you fit the boards.

    Combine Barrier Shield with acoustic insulation slabs, acoustic plasterboard and soundbreaker bars to construct acoustic systems to soundproof walls and ceilings.

    Fitting Barrier Shield to floors

    Lay Barrier Shield across timber sub floors to increase the level of sound insulation with this type of floor construction. Sheets should be butted together ensuring no gaps are left. Install the mats right up to the edge of the room, the whole floor area should be covered. The mats do not require fixing to the sub floor. If you are converting a property or carrying out work that has to meet Building Regulation Part ‘e’ you will have to glue the sheets down. Fix the mats to the sub floor with a floor grade adhesive or a spray adhesive.

    Soundproof enclosures with Barrier Shield

    Soundproof an enclosure by applying the mats to the surface of the enclosures. For the best level of soundproofing for enclosures use the mats combined with the acoustic grade eggbox foam.

    Use an adhesive to bond the Barrier Shield to the inside of the enclosure. Use Smart Tack adhesive to bond the material as this has excellent adhesion strength. Once the enclosure has bee lined with the mats fix the eggbox foam over the mats. The build up of the enclosure should be, the enclosure on the outside, the barrier mats applied to the inside of the enclosure and the eggbox foam over the barrier mats.

    Combining the two materials to the inside of the enclosure will increase the mass of the enclosure and absorb sound as it reverberates inside. This method of soundproofing is used for household pumps and cab be scaled up to larger pieces of machinery.

    How will my order be delivered?

    The majority of orders we despatch are sent on pallets. We use a network of pallet distribution companies across the UK. All our pallet deliveries are kerbside deliveries. This means the pallet will be delivered as near to the delivery address as possible. Pallets are unloaded from the vehicles with a pallet truck. If it is possible the pallets can be dropped on driveways if they are accessible with the pallet truck.

    Pallet deliveries are normally made on 7.5-tonne vehicles that are similar in size to bin lorries. Occasionally larger vehicles are used. If you know of any reason why it might be difficult to deliver to your address with this type of vehicle, please let us know so we can pass the information on to the delivery company. Typical delivery problems can include parking restrictions, access issues for certain size vehicles, low bridges and overhanging trees. Call 01423 339163 if you are unsure.

    Unfortunately, the delivery drivers will not bring the goods into your property or unload the individual items from the pallets.

    Many of our items are heavy and often require two people to carry them safely.

    All orders sent on pallets are wrapped and secured to the pallet to protect them while in transit. Once you have received your order, we would recommend storing the materials inside. If you are planning on leaving your goods outside, you should use additional coverage to protect them from any adverse weather conditions.

    Damaged or missing items

    In the unfortunate event that items are damaged or missing when your order arrives, you should sign damaged or missing items on the driver’s paperwork. Call 01423339163 to let us know of the issue to allow us to quickly rectify the problem.
