How to choose materials for home sound insulation decoration?

I don't know how many people have extremely low sleep points and poor sound insulation in their rooms, so they can't sleep at all. This is like killing themselves Especially the houses downstairs near the square and streets, the sound of car horns, and the deafening music of square dancing The noise from the outside is constant, and the comfort of living has plummeted. Many customers have reported that they did not listen to the decorator's instructions for sound insulation during the renovation process. At that time, they made a hasty decision in order to save money, but ended up spending money and the external noise did not decrease much. It was really a big loss. Without further ado, let's talk about some easy and effective sound insulation decoration methods and how to choose sound insulation materials!

Which of the five common sound insulation methods should be tailored to local conditions

To start the sound insulation decoration of our home, we first need to understand what sound insulation methods are available, and then choose the suitable one based on our own actual situation.

Window soundproofing

The most troublesome sources of noise for homeowners are mostly from the outside world, such as the music of square dancing and the sound of car horns This is the most tormenting existence, so homeowners attach relatively high importance to window sound insulation.

Sound insulation method:

The simplest and most rough way is to choose soundproof glass. Currently, the mainstream soundproof glass in the market includes insulating glass, vacuum glass, and laminated glass. In terms of cost-effectiveness, it is recommended to use double-layer insulating glass.

2. For some noise that is not loud but affects rest, if the window sill width is sufficient, a layer of steel windows can be added to the original window to reduce the noise.

Wall sound insulation

For wall sound insulation decoration, we need to analyze specific issues. Has your home already completed the decoration? Is it still in the stage of not completing the hard installation? The handling methods vary at different stages.

Sound insulation method:

1. If the decoration has been completed, just buy some soundproof sponges or soundproof boards and stick them directly to the wall.

2. If the hard installation is not completed, install sound insulation felt inside the wall.

If the effect is still not ideal, make some soft bags, such as TV background walls, bedside background walls, and local walls.

Door soundproofing

The soundproofing ability of a door is fixed, and the key to its soundproofing effect is whether it can be picked. The sound insulation effect of the door depends on the gap between the door and the ground. If the gap is too large, the sound insulation effect will naturally be greatly reduced.

Sound insulation method:

1. Choose a door with relatively good sealing performance.

If you don't want to change the door, you can buy some products with soundproofing effects such as mute strips to assist, which can also reduce the noise to a certain extent.

Ceiling sound insulation

When it comes to ceiling sound insulation, especially in some old houses, there is nothing done about sound insulation and decoration. In daily life, the sound of children jumping upstairs, moving stools every day, hitting the ground at home, and falling objects can be heard endlessly. These daily noises almost make people collapse. So, if your home is not on the top floor, it is quite necessary to have a ceiling sound insulation.

Sound insulation method:

1. The most direct sound insulation method is to make a suspended ceiling or gypsum board.

If a suspended ceiling or gypsum board is still ineffective, a sound insulation layer can be installed in the ceiling.

Sound insulation of water pipes

Attention to the bedroom with a bathroom! Being awakened by the sound of rushing water in the middle of the night is a common situation, and over time, it is false to say that one is not irritable. So, if this part of the sound insulation can be done, let's do it.

Sound insulation method:

1. Wrap the water pipe with soundproofing material to reduce noise.

If possible, it is best not to design water pipelines in the rest area during decoration, as it really affects rest.

The selection method for four popular indoor soundproofing materials is actually very simple

Soundproof felt

At present, the most commonly used sound insulation material in the city is sound insulation felt, mainly used in combination with gypsum board. It is commonly used for soundproofing of walls and ceilings, and is also suitable for soundproofing of water pipes. Moreover, it is a sound insulation material with convenient construction, environmental protection, and relatively high cost-effectiveness.

Shopping tips: 1. Use scissors to cut open the soundproof felt. If the section is clear and shiny iron powder particles are visible, it indicates that it is a high-quality soundproof felt.

2. If there is a pungent odor, please give up. If there is no pungent odor, it is relatively environmentally friendly and can be purchased with confidence.

3. A good soundproof felt is one that will not break or deform even after repeated folding.

Soundproof panel

The selection of soundproofing panels varies depending on the location used. At present, the best sound insulation board is a damping sound insulation board with constrained damping structure, which is formed by two building boards, such as gypsum board, glass magnesium board, calcium silicate board, cement pressure fiberboard, and other materials sandwiched between a layer of polymer damping material. It is a preferred new material in the field of green building.

Shopping tips: 1. The most important thing is to see if the soundproof panel has a testing report. Any board can be called a soundproofing board, but the soundproofing effects of various materials vary greatly.

2. In terms of sound insulation testing, at least two authorized testing institutions and laboratories, namely China Metrology Certification (CMA) and China National Accreditation Service for Conformity Assessment (CNAS), are required to have authority.

Soundproof window

It is generally composed of two or three layers of homogeneous glass and window frames with different thicknesses. Currently, the mainstream soundproofing glass in the market includes insulating glass, vacuum glass, and laminated glass. We can replace aluminum alloy window frames with plastic or fiberglass window frames, which can also reduce noise.

Shopping tips: 1. Check whether the color of the profiles, glass, and hardware is uniform, and whether the accessories are complete.

2. Check whether the processing is fine and whether the cutting is smooth.

3. Check if the sealing between the glass and the frame is done properly.

It is best to purchase from legitimate stores, as their products not only have superior quality but also have comprehensive after-sales service.

Soundproof door

The door partition is not soundproof, one mainly focuses on the door panel, and the other is on the gap between the door and the ground. If you want to effectively isolate sound from entering through the door, the best choice is still a solid wood door.

Shopping tips: 1. Based on weight, the sound insulation effect of high-density doors is relatively better, which is why the sound insulation effect of lighter molded doors is greatly discounted.

The thicker the surface layer board, the better the sound insulation effect.

The flatter the wooden door, the better the combination with the door cover, and the better the sound insulation effect.

Whether the sound insulation decoration at home is done well or not, the key lies in whether the sound insulation method and materials are selected correctly. Whether the decoration process is pleasant and smooth depends on whether the chosen decoration company is reliable.
