Hear neighbors through the wall. Perfect soundproofing of an apartment / house (not expensive, natural material for noise insulation)

It rarely happens that you come across calm neighbors. Usually in apartment buildings, even the neighbors' cough is heard. Constant noise is heard from household appliances, slamming doors, festive hum, stomping, loud conversation, repairs, etc. It is almost impossible to lie down to rest during the day. How to get rid of unwanted noise and save your nerves? Let's talk about a relatively new material for soundproofing an apartment - isoplat.

Soundproofing materials can be roughly divided into 2 types: soft and hard. The soft material is often sold in rolls. These are membranes, fiberglass, mineral wool, etc. Solid soundproofing materials include gypsum board, penoplex, plaster, polystyrene, various plates.

If we talk about drywall, then with its help you can level the walls and reduce the noise level. An air gap is created between the material and the wall, which reduces noise. But during installation, you need to spend money on both the material and the soundproofing of the lathing from the metal profile.

Cork material is available for sale. It is often used for flooring. But it doesn't fit the walls. The plug will not provide good protection against noise.

Special soundproofing materials are on sale. But they are expensive. For example, a self-adhesive membrane. It is used as an interlayer of plywood, OSB, GVL, GKL, LSU, etc. Length 2.5 m, width 1.2 m. The roll costs 3960 rubles. According to the reviews, we can say that the material has not passed the test. Many say that it cracks, breaks when glued to the base.

The most convenient, environmentally friendly and relatively inexpensive material is isoplat.

An excellent choice for heat and sound insulation. The material is 100% natural, made from environmentally friendly raw materials. The villi of the milled softwood are pressed and heated. In this way, they are held together with resin to form slabs.

Wood-based panels with a porous structure reliably protect against noise. Many builders work only with isoplates. Soundproofing is perfect. The slabs have a small thickness, which helps to save space in the room. The service life of the material is over 50 years.

The material does not absorb water. If moisture gets in, it is evenly distributed and dries out. Moreover, the material prevents the formation of mold and mildew.

Soundproofing is done on the walls, ceiling and floor. If you need to cover the walls with slabs, then they need to be carefully cut. It is good if you make tight joints so that the edges do not creep over time. Isoplates are mounted using roofing nails every 10 cm. It becomes 30-40% quieter.

If you make a combination: isoplat 25 mm. plus drywallthen the sound insulation will increase by 50%. In terms of cost, the following can be said. Izoplat will be released at a price of about 280 rubles. per sq. m. Plasterboard - 130 rubles. per sq. m.
