Description
Stud Wall Kit 100mm DFM
This stud wall kit is suitable for use on stud frames with a minimum depth of 100mm. It can be used to bring peace and privacy to new or existing stud walls 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, which 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.

Reduce Flanking Noise
When you are considering any form of wall soundproofing you should take into account flanking sound. Sound travels around a building through any cavities it can find. One of the easiest ways for sound to pass through is between floor cavities. Sound transferring through these areas is flanking sound. When soundproofing a wall you should consider reducing the chance of sound transferring through floor cavities between the floor joists.
If your floor joists are shared with a neighbouring property it is easy or sound to transfer through the floor. If you are soundproofing a party wall you should check to see if floor joists are going through to your neighbours property. Do this by checking which way your floorboards are running. If they run in the same direction as the wall the chances are you floor joists will be running into the wall, this will increase the chance of flanking sound transferring between the properties.
The easiest way to reduce flanking sound through your floors is to insulate between the floor joists. Remove a few floor boards up against the wall and fill the cavity against the wall with acoustic insulation 80kg/m³ would be a suitable density of slab to use. Fit the slabs against the wall, coming back into the room approximately 600mm, or the width off a slab.
