To prepare to install sound-proof plasterboards, ensure the walls, ceilings, or partitions are clean, dry and free from structural issues such as cracks and gaps to ensure sound is not travelling through them. Should cracks or gap occur be sure to fill them with the required sealant. Ensure your insulation materials have been installed flush to the wall or ceiling and free from protrusions so that the sound boards can sit level with the framing system. If you are working to reduce sound travelling through the property, consider using acoustic insulating materials generally made up of mineral wool or fibreglass.

TE soundproof plasterboard plays a crucial role in meeting building regulations particularly those in relation to acoustic performance within residential and commercial buildings and properties. In many cases, building regulations will specify a minimum sound standard to prevent high or excessive levels of noise transmissions between rooms and properties. For example, there are building regulation requirements for soundproofing in new builds, extensions and conversions.

15mm Tapered Edge Sound Boards or 12.5mm Tapered Edge Sound Boards?

The 15mm sound boards are more commonly utilised in projects where there is a greater risk of walls being damaged, higher levels of sound transmissions, and heavier structural systems. The thicker board will form a denser barrier to block and absorb sound. The 15mm acoustic plasterboard is often utilised in areas where confidentially is key such as counselling spaces and medical facilities. The 12.5mm sound panel is great option for residential properties and partition walls.

What is the difference between soundproofing panels and regular plasterboards?

Soundproof plasterboards are specifically designed to reduce noise transmission, while regular plasterboards primarily serve as basic wall and ceiling materials. Soundproof boards are denser, often containing additional layers or sound-dampening materials like viscoelastic compounds or mineral fillers, which enhance their ability to block or absorb sound.

What Plasterboard Adhesive Should I Use with Sound Plasterboards?

• Insulate the walls with dense soundproofing materials in either a solid wall dot and dab application or steel and timber frame application
• When finishing the wall, apply an acoustic plasterboard to the frame or wall to achieve a smooth finish and limit noise transmission
• Correctly fix and seal around fitting and openings such skirting boards and door frames

What Is Acoustic Meaning Within a Building?

Building acoustics are methods in which noise travels and is controlled through the building. This can include measures put in place to keep sound from entering or exiting a space. You may want to reduce noise such as footsteps from above or enhance sounds for example to amplify instrumental sounds.
