Soundproof systems for
walls and ceilings
For the best level of soundproofing use a complete soundproof system to sound insulate your walls and ceilings.

For the highest levels of sound insulation, use a soundproof system to ensure the best sound reduction levels. A soundproof system provides much higher sound insulation than individual soundproofing products. The AcoustiClip soundproofing system is the best solution for soundproofing party walls and stud walls, as well as timber joists and concrete ceilings
Rooms that require a higher level of noise control, such as studios and home cinemas, will benefit from the high level of sound reduction provided by a complete soundproof system.
Soundproofing systems for walls
Soundproofing systems are available for all wall types, including brick party walls and timber stud walls. Soundproof systems combine all the materials required to add mass/density, sound absorption, and isolation/decoupling for the best sound insulation levels for your walls.

Soundproofing systems for ceilings
Soundproofing systems are available for all ceiling types, including those with timber joists and concrete. Soundproof systems combine all the materials required to add mass/density, sound absorption, and isolation/decoupling for the best sound insulation levels.
How to soundproof walls and ceilings to minimise noise transfer
The most effective method of soundproofing walls and ceilings is adding mass, creating separation and increasing sound absorption. Adding mass to the area with soundproof plasterboards, acoustic membranes, and acoustic insulation will block airborne sounds. Decoupe walls and ceilings and enhance its ability to absorb vibrations with the AcoustiClip system, reducing sounds transferring via vibration through the wall. Isolating the existing structure will make it more difficult for sound to pass between rooms. Improving the sound absorption of a wall or ceiling with decoupling and extra mass dampens the sound’s energy, resulting in a soundproofed solution that will minimise unwanted noise transfer ceilings and walls.
Effective soundproofing principles
Adding mass: Increasing the mass/density is crucial for soundproofing and reducing airborne sounds. Product combinations with different mass levels, including soundproof panels, acoustic membranes and sound insulation slabs, will increase the mass of the soundproofed area.
Decoupling: Decouple and isolate the structure using a sound isolation clip system. The AcoustiClip system provides the best sound isolation for walls and ceilings.
Sound absorption: Soundproof panels can increase the sound absorption of ceilings and walls. The AcoustiClip isolation clip provides sound absorption by absorbing vibrations and reducing the sound’s energy.
Soundproof systems FAQs
A soundproof system is a comprehensive setup that blocks or reduces sound transmission between rooms or spaces. It typically combines materials, including acoustic insulation, sound isolation decoupling clips, mass-loaded barriers, resilient channels, and specialist soundproof boards, to create an effective soundproofing solution.
Acoustic insulation (high-density mineral wool): Reduces sound transmission within wall, floor and ceiling cavities.
Soundproof plasterboards: Adds mass to block sound.
Mass-loaded vinyl (MLV): A flexible material that acts as a sound barrier.
Sound isolation decoupling clips: Decoupling the wall to reduce the transfer of sound vibrating through the structure. See the AcoustiClip for more details.
Resilient channels: Decouple the wall from the structure to minimise sound vibrations.
Acoustic sealants: Fill gaps and edges to prevent sound leakage.
A properly installed soundproof system can significantly reduce sound transmission. A good soundproof system typically reduces airborne and vibration sounds that transfer between rooms.
Soundproof systems are more comprehensive than soundproof panels, targeting the entire structure (walls, floors, ceilings). While soundproof panels reduce airborne sounds between rooms, a soundproof system blocks airborne and vibration sound transmission between rooms. A soundproof system will block a higher noise level than a soundproof panel.
Yes, soundproof systems can be retrofitted into existing buildings, though it may require more effort than installation during construction. Adding soundproof systems is very common in buildings requiring additional sound insulation levels.
Yes, most soundproof systems are designed to tackle airborne (voices, music) and impact noise (footsteps, furniture moving). However, the materials and installation methods may vary depending on the specific noise problem.
A soundproof system can be installed by a competent DIYer. If you do not feel you can install it yourself, it would be best to find a local tradesperson. Installing most soundproof systems does not require a specialist and would usually be undertaken by a local contractor.
A well-designed soundproof system can reduce external noise, including traffic, neighbour noise, and other environmental sounds. However, special attention must be paid to windows and doors, as these are common weak points for external noise transmission.
In many cases, a soundproof system can increase a home’s value, especially in noisy areas or where privacy and quiet are a priority. Soundproofing improvements are often considered a good investment.
