The influence of extraneous noise on a person’s living space is often the cause of stress, which makes it very difficult to relax. Many people refuse additional soundproofing of the apartment believing that it will result in fabulous money for them. Consider in this article all the components of the soundproofing process, and also determine whether savings in this matter are possible.
The price of sound insulation is influenced by factors such as:
- Preliminary preparation of the surface;
- Soundproofing material;
- Related materials;
- Cost of work (if external specialists are involved).
Speaking about common insulation materials, you should indicate such as:
- Roll - is considered one of the most budgetary sound isolators. It is sold in rolls that are glued to the walls. Using this type of inexpensive finish will reduce the noise level by about 50%.
- Drywall is a very popular material, the only drawback of which is the increase in wall thickness by 9 cm.
- Decorative panels - the construction market offers a wide selection of various forms and textures for this type of finish. In addition to soundproofing properties, panels can also perfectly decorate a room interior.
The total cost of sound insulation to a greater extent depends on the area of the insulated space, as well as the types of insulation materials used.
Quite often, in order to save money, such materials as cork or polystyrene are used for sound insulation, counting on their sound-absorbing property. This is a common mistake, as these materials can only muffle shock noises. All the rest they freely pass.
Do not save, giving preference to thin materials. If their thickness does not exceed 30 mm, then expect some kind of effect from this will be self-deception.
The use of heat-insulating rolls for the purpose of soundproofing a room is no less a common mistake. Very often, unscrupulous traders impose on their customers the opinion that by purchasing thermal insulation they can “kill two birds with one stone” and save a lot.
Speaking about effective sound insulation of an apartment or house, it is always important to remember that saving on materials or work is not a guarantee of success. Saving on soundproofing materials will never be able to get a high result.
