Noise reduction with treatment 4dB
Note: Every 10 decibels(dB) reduction in noise level is roughly perceived as a halving of the perceived loudness. So, for instance, if you have a sound that measures 70dB and it decreases to 60dB, it would sound about half as loud to the human ear.
NOTE: When the acoustic plasterboard panel is installed, the plasterboard layer faces into the room, and the acoustic membrane on the back of the board is applied to the wall or ceiling. This panel is best suited for use with AcoustiClips, soundbreaker bars or timber and metal stud frames to form an acoustic system for walls and ceilings.
The Noisestop 1 Plus Panel works best when installed as part of a complete system for walls or ceilings.
- Ensure the surface you are applying the panels to is in good condition, and do any remedial work on the existing wall to ensure it is flat and secure before you attach the panels.
- Remove skirting boards and coving and extend electrical outlets. Wall linings, such as wallpaper, do not need to be removed before the installation.
- Fix the panels to acoustic hangers, stud frames or ceiling joists using standard dry-wall screws. You should use Hammer Fixings, nine per board, to fit the boards directly onto solid walls; alternatively, use Smart Tack adhesive for flat-finished walls, one tin per five boards.
- Leave a 2-3mm gap around the perimeter of the wall to reduce flanking sound transmission. Once the installation is complete, apply an acoustic sealant to fill the gap.
- Cut the panels using a hand saw or circular saw.
- Skim the plaster or tape, then 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.
Finishing soundproof panels
- Taping and jointing -Apply joint tape (paper or mesh) over all joints. Use jointing compound to fill and feather out over the tape.
- Skim Plastering – Apply a thin coat of finish plaster (usually 2–3 mm thick) over the entire plasterboard surface.
- Plasterboard Direct Decoration (No Skim) – Tape and joint as usual. Sand and apply a sealer or mist coat. Paint or wallpaper directly onto the plasterboard.
Delivering soundproofing throughout the UK
Due to the nature of most of the materials we supply, orders are typically delivered on pallets.
All orders will be carefully wrapped, protected, and securely palletised to ensure they arrive in the best possible condition. Goods will be delivered as near to the property as possible. The drivers will not be able to carry orders into your property.
Deliveries are made between 8:00 a.m. and 6:00 p.m. Monday to Friday.
We charge a flat delivery rate of £60 plus VAT for most palletised deliveries. We do not charge per pallet, regardless of the number of pallets used to deliver your order.
Certain postcodes will incur a higher delivery charge than our standard rate, including those in Northern Ireland, Northern Scotland, and the Islands off the mainland.
Orders placed for items weighing less than 20kg will be sent via courier for £20 plus VAT.
We have a high stock level and typically deliver orders in approximately three to four working days.

FAQS
Soundproofing decreases the transmission of sound waves through walls. This is usually achieved by adding materials that either block or absorb sound. The main aim is to prevent sound from entering or leaving a room.
A soundproofing wall solution combines one or more of these elements to soundproof the wall:
Add mass: Increasing the mass or density of walls makes it harder for sound to pass through. High-mass soundproofing products include soundproof plasterboard, acoustic insulation, and soundproof membranes.
Increase sound absorption: Boosting a wall’s sound-absorbing capacity helps reduce airborne noise. Materials that enhance sound absorption include acoustic insulation and membranes. These materials diminish resonance and vibration, improving overall soundproofing.
Decoupling: Isolating or decoupling the existing wall reduces direct sound transfer from it to the new wall. Since sound travels through solid structures via vibration, decoupling with an independent wall or using sound-isolation clips will lessen sound transmission between the two structures.
- Mass-loaded vinyl (MLV): A dense, flexible material that blocks sound.
- Soundproof panels: High-density soundproofing boards that block sound.
- Acoustic insulation slabs: Help absorb sound within wall cavities.
- Decoupling clips: Sound-isolation clips decouple the existing wall from the new wall, reducing vibration noise.
- Soundproof Plasterboard: Denser than standard plasterboard, making it better at blocking airborne sound.
Yes! You can add materials like soundproof panels or acoustic wall systems directly to existing walls. These solutions don’t require major construction but can significantly reduce noise. By applying these types of solutions to your walls, you will minimise space loss in the room.
Recommended direct-to-wall soundproofing options, which do not require removing the existing wall:
Silent Panel: Unmatched soundproofing performance of any soundproof board. Soundproof walls without sacrificing valuable living space with Noisestop Silent Panel.
AcoustiClip Direct System: The best direct-to-party wall system. The AcoustiClip Direct System includes isolation clips, acoustic insulation, and soundproof boards for maximum protection against noisy neighbours.
Noisestop System 2: The slimmest of the party wall soundproofing systems, Noisestop System 2 combines acoustic insulation with soundproof panels.
Acoustic Panel: The slimmest direct-to-wall soundproofing panel. The Noisestop Acoustic Panel is ideal for soundproofing rooms with minimal space loss.
Yes! Low-frequency noises, such as bass or vibrations, can be more difficult to block. To reduce this, you should use a technique called decoupling, which separates layers of the wall to prevent sound vibrations from travelling through it.
Decoupling isolation clips applied directly to the wall or a stud frame will minimise vibrations from travelling through the wall’s structure. If you have space in the room, an independent soundproof wall will reduce sound transfer between the walls.
The best wall soundproofing solutions for reducing these noises are the AcoustiClip Direct System or the AcoustiClip Stud System, as they minimise vibration transmission through walls.
Soundproofing can significantly reduce noise, but it’s unlikely to block 100% of sound. Low bass frequencies or very loud noises may still get through, but overall noise reduction can be considerable. To maximise your wall soundproofing, consider other parts of the building that might be weak points and allow sound to pass. See our flanking noise answer below.
Common flanking noise paths.
- Ceilings and floors, joists with empty cavities
- Side walls that connect to the soundproofed wall
- Studs and framing inside the structure
- Doors and windows
- Electrical outlets, vents, and gaps
