Description
Stud Wall Kit 100mm DFM
Increase the privacy of your home by soundproofing your internal stud walls. This solution has all the soundproofing required to block unwanted noise from transferring between rooms in your home or office.
This stud wall kit is suitable for use on stud frames with a minimum depth of 100mm. It can bring peace and privacy to a new or existing stud wall by increasing sound insulation between rooms. It offers airborne sound insulation up to 60dB.
The Noisestop stud wall kit includes everything you need for noise reduction in your home or workplace. Each kit contains:
- 50mm acoustic insulation, which will block and absorb sound waves
- The soundbreaker bars attached to the stud frame are an acoustic hanger to absorb vibration that would normally transfer through your walls
- The Noisestop 1+ panels combine mass and density to block airborne sound
- One layer of 5mm acoustic plasterboard, denser than standard plasterboard, allows you to stagger the joints of the first layer of boards
- AC50 acoustic sealants to ensure no small gaps are left between the boards for sound to escape
Correctly installed, this kit will increase wall mass and reduce sound vibration through your walls. You’ll notice a big reduction in sound pollution in your home between rooms and from your noisy neighbours.
Noisestop offer lots of advice on the best sound reduction solutions for your home and give lots of advice for the self-installation of soundproofing kits. Check out our installation guide, and please get in touch if you have any questions.

Installing Stud Wall Kit 100m
Stud wall on a brick wall
- Insulate between the stud frame with the DFM acoustic insulation. Cut the slabs 5mm wider than the opening to friction fit between the stud frame. Ensure the whole area is filled before you move on to the next stage.
- Soundbreaker bars are fitted to the stud frame at 600mm centres. The bars are screwed onto the studs at 600mm centres, horizontally running wall to wall. The first bar is secured 50mm up the wall; continue fitting the bars up the wall. For more information on fitting soundbreaker bars. Bars are fixed into the studs by screwing through the pre-drilled holes that run along the length of the bar.
- The Noisestop 1+ Panel and the acoustic plasterboard are screwed directly into the soundbreaker bars. The boards are screwed into the wide flat corrugated flange of the bar. There is no need for pre-drilling into the bars. Attach boards with drywall screws or universal screws. Fix the Noisestop 1+ panel first and then overboard with the acoustic plasterboard.
- Use an acoustic sealant to seal each board’s edges and seal the perimeter of the wall. You can apply an acoustic sealant to the panels as you install them, as well as filling any gaps between the boards after they have been installed.
- Once you have installed the boards, either plaster the wall or tape and fill the tapered edge of the plasterboard.
NOTE ON FLANKING SOUND – Before installing any soundproofing system, you should consider any flanking paths for the sound. These are areas around the wall that 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.
