Composition of the Noisestop Acoustic Panel 22.5mm

• 12.5mm soundblock plasterboard, tapered edge. Ready to plaster skim or tape and fill the tapered edge
• 5kg/m² mass loaded vinyl barrier mat, soundproofing qualities similar to lead
• 5mm acoustic grade closed-cell foam
• 5kg/m² mass loaded vinyl barrier mat, soundproofing qualities similar to lead

The Noisestop Acoustic Panel comes pre-laminated, combining the four elements listed. The Noisestop Acoustic Panels triple-layered acoustic membrane, which is bonded to the soundproof plasterboard, increases the soundproofing performance of this panel in comparison to similar boards that only have two layers.

The product’s composition ensures it will block the most common domestic sounds from transferring between rooms. Apply onto the surface of your walls, either fixing directly into solid walls, alternatively upgrade stud walls by applying the panels over the existing plasterboard.

Fitting Noisestop Acoustic Panel

NOTE: When the panel is installed, the plasterboard layer faces into the room, and the acoustic membrane on the back of the board goes onto the wall.

• Ensure the surface you are applying the panels is in good condition, make good any remedial work to the existing wall to ensure it is flat and secure before you attach the panels
• Remove skirting boards, coving and extend electrical outlets; these can be reinstated once the work is complete.
• Begin the installation by installing the bottom row of boards. Leave a 2-3mm gap between the floor and the boards using 2-3mm packers or an equivalent to support the panels
• Apply the Noisestop Acoustic Panel to the walls using Hammer Fixings or the Smart Tack Adhesive. We only advise using the adhesive on flat walls; approximately one tin will fix five panels. Fix the panels using nine hammer fixings per board if the wall is uneven or in poor condition. Screw the panels onto timber or metal studs
• Use acoustic sealant between each panel as you put them together
• Leave a 2-3mm gap around the perimeter of the wall to reduce flanking sound transmission, apply an acoustic sealant to fill the gap once the installation is complete
• Cut the panels using a hand saw or circular saw
• Skim plaster or tape and fill the tapered edge
• Upon completion of the soundproofing, reinstate the skirting and coving
• If you are reinstating electrical outlets, use acoustic putty pads inside recessed back boxes

Notes on flanking sound

Before installing any soundproofing system, you should consider any flanking paths for the sound. These are areas around the wall where sound will bypass the soundproofing and enter the room. The most common flanking course for sounds would be above or below the wall, which would be through a floor or ceiling cavity. If these areas are constructed from timber joists, you should consider filling the void above or below the area with DFM acoustic insulation to stop potential flanking noise.

Wall Soundproofing

Make sure you are getting the right soundproofing for your needs. Understanding the most common types of noise and how to stop them will help you decide the right solution.

Different Types of Sound

• Airborne sounds – Conversation, TV noise and radios are examples of airborne sound. The best way to stop airborne sounds is to add mass/density to the walls or ceilings.
• Impact/vibration sounds – Footfall and moving furniture across a floor are examples of impact sounds. The best way to reduce these sounds is to create separation.

In summary, the best way to reduce airborne sounds is by increasing the mass of the area you would like to soundproof. Reducing impact/vibration sounds is achieved by creating separation within the structure.

Reducing Impact and Airborne Sounds

By following some of these steps, you will ensure you get the best level of soundproofing for your room.

• Mass/Density – Increasing the mass and density of the area you are soundproofing will block airborne sounds from transferring between rooms. You will increase the mass of walls and ceilings using materials such as soundproof panels or high-density acoustic insulation slabs.
• Separation – Incorporating separation within the structure will reduce vibration and impact sounds transferring between rooms. Achieve separation by building independent stud walls and ceilings. If you don’t have the space in the room, you can use acoustic clips and resilient channels to decouple the wall and ceiling.
• Absorption – Use materials that are going to absorb sounds. Acoustic insulation is suitable for sound absorption as it converts the sound waves into heat as it passes through the insulation. Dense mass loaded barriers will also dampen and absorb sound.
