How to soundproof walls and minimise noise transfer
The most effective method of soundproofing walls is adding mass, creating separation and increasing sound absorption. Adding mass to the wall with soundproof plasterboards, acoustic membranes, and acoustic insulation will block airborne sounds. Decoupe the wall and enhance its ability to absorb vibrations with the AcoustiClip system, reducing sound transfer via vibration through the wall. Isolating the existing wall will make it more difficult for sound to pass between rooms. Improving the sound absorption of the wall with decoupling and extra mass dampens the sound’s energy, resulting in a soundproofed wall that will minimise unwanted noise transfer through stud and party walls.
Effective soundproofing principles
Adding mass: Increasing the mass/density of a wall is crucial for soundproofing and reducing airborne sounds. Product combinations with different levels of mass, including soundproof panels, acoustic membranes and sound insulation slabs, will increase the mass of the wall.
Decoupling: Decouple the wall using a sound isolation clip system. The AcoustiClip system provides the best sound isolation for studs and party walls.
Sound absorption: Increase the sound absorption of a wall using soundproof panels. The AcoustiClip isolation clip provides sound absorption as it absorbs vibrations and reduces the sound’s energy.

The best way to soundproof walls is to use a combination of products in a soundproof system.
Adding mass and density, decoupling the existing structure from the new and increasing the sound absorption capability of the wall ensures the highest noise reduction.

Competent DIYers can install all of our wall soundproofing solutions. We recommend using local tradespeople if you do not want to fit the soundproofing yourself. Local builders, joiners and plasterers would be the most suitable tradespeople to contact. We can provide full-fitting guides for all our soundproofing solutions.
It is not possible to guarantee 100% soundproofing in domestic situations. However, with the correct solution, a significant level of sound can be effectively reduced.
We recommend soundproofing the alcove areas. You should be able to leave the chimney breast as this area tends to have additional layers of brick which add mass to the area.
Our soundproof products and soundproofing systems are finished with acoustic plasterboard. Once the soundproofing is installed, you can bring the wall up to decorative standards without adding additional boarding. The most common method to finish the walls is to have them plastered. Alternatively, you can tape and join the edges along the tapered edge of the boards before decorating. This means you don’t need a plasterer to skim your wall. Once brought up to decorative standard you can use lining paper or paint to decorate the panels.
Yes, you can reinstate electrical outlets to your soundproofed wall. To ensure the wall’s acoustic integrity, use acoustic putty pads inside electrical back boxes. We recommend sealing the hole using an acoustic sealant if you are extending wires through the wall for lights.
Lightweight fittings can be secured into the soundproofing. Pictures and mirrors can be attached to the soundproofing.
