How to sound a soundproof apartment in a panel house correctly
People who live in panel high -rise buildings every day face the problem of excessive noise from the street and from neighbors who bring significant discomfort. You can slightly reduce the noise level from the street by changing old windows to new plastic ones, but this will not solve the issue of irritable sounds from neighbors from the walls. In order to minimize the noise, it is worth making noise insulation. Before starting the sound insulation of the walls, it is necessary to make noise insulation of switches and sockets. In panel houses, holes for sockets are often through. This is very bad if this wall is common for two apartments. If it is impossible to get rid of such a hole, it is worth sheathing the niches in which there is a mounting box with a soundproof material, having previously seized a socket from a socket. The same must be done from the distribution boxes that are under the ceiling. In order to correctly and safely do these manipulations, electricity must be turned off so that the electrician does not have to repair in the future. It is also soundproofing of central heating and water supply pipes that go through floors, and because of which many extra sounds get into your house. It is necessary to pour silicone with special sleeves intended for this, having previously cleared the riser from the solution of the pipe. It is also necessary to pour silicone gaps at the joints between the plates between the floors and the walls. In order to perform sound insulation in a panel house, different materials are used:
-Poliuretan foam
-Styrofoam
-Sandwich panels
But these materials are extremely unprofitable to use because for reliable noise insulation you will need their thickness of about 50 mm without gypsum-cartoon. Due to this, the area of the room will significantly decrease. Particular panels such as PhoneStar, since they are significantly already the above materials, the thickness of these panels is about 12 mm. This allows you to build a 27 mm soundproofing system, where 12mm is a drywall and 3 mm. The frame of the material consists of cellulose and mineral filler, it is safe for health and has excellent soundproof abilities. If the surface is flat, then the panel can be beaten with dowels to the wall. Sounds from the bath are also very unpleasant and irritable. Reduce the level of unwanted sounds here should be coated with a bath with foam. It is also necessary to soundproof the walls in the bathroom. Here you can use various materials:
-Mineral wool
-Styrofoam
-Poliuretan foam
-PHONESSTAR type panels
Some of them can be treated with waterproofing, protected by a gypsum fiber sheet and a ceramic tile is placed on top. As a result of such manipulations, unwanted sounds practically look
