Soundproofing: solution for low ceilings

sound insulation problem is more concerned with the citizens living in the typical high-rise buildings, which "lucky" with noisy neighbors, but also for private traders is relevant. Plates of overlap perfectly convey the sights and sounds of loud speech or music, and vibration from the stamping, and all these charms together can spoil life. To sleep okay without being tied to a mode neighbors above, users FORUMHOUSE mounted soundproof ceilings. These designs are universal, consuming a minimum height, which is important when there is no extra centimeters. They really raise their hands, and with a feasible cost.

Soundproofing a ceiling with his hands Marsohod001

When the soundproofing issue arises at the beginning of finishing works or major repairs, he solved an integrated approach - the ceiling / wall / floor. Then the neighbors will not care whether your dance party a dozen active teenagers, or with the first roosters at full volume playing favorite radio. However, this approach uncommon problem more often detected after repair, which complicates the workflow. But no wonder they say that the eyes are afraid, but the hands are doing.

Marsohod001 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

After moving into a new apartment, when the repair has almost been completed, and there were only the ceilings in question, there was a problem. Top granny living with hearing loss, a lover of the early lift on weekends and admirer Radio Chanson, that it includes the entire volume as soon as rises! A receiver at it is located directly above our bedroom. Then a standard process - talking with a neighbor, her home, and then before the scandal came - to come to a consensus failed.

Given the almost complete renovation decided to soundproof the ceiling as the best option to maintain healthy sleep and nerves. Dialing in the relevant organizations with the aim of clarifying technology, material resources and a price that hit appetites led to the decision to forge their own silence.

Careful study of the branches of the forum and the experience of other users are allowed to determine the type of ceiling and choice of materials. We stopped at the one-level, two-layer suspended structure:

• Fasteners - vibropodvesy ceiling and guides for plasterboard;
• Insulation - mineral wool thickness of 50 mm;
• Covering - GOLS layer, the second layer of the GCR;
• Seams - neutral sealant:
• Damper tape (between the wall and construction) - polyethylene foam.

Using vibropodvesov allow to cut vibration noise, and mineral wool is one of the most effective shumoizolyatorov. At the GVL and GCR obtained decent barrier and from shock and noise from the air. Dempfirnaya ribbon structure cuts off the walls, preventing the transmission of vibration to the septum.

Vibropodvesy ceiling with his hands

According to estimates forumchanin to his room about 15 square meters will require 42 vibropodvesa that when their value will cost a substantial sum - about 15 thousand. The question "how to make vibropodvesy" stood up to his full height. To save was made makeshift fasteners - used standard profiles and suspensions for purchased in-store, which sells materials for vibration control of industrial installations. Since high dynamic loads from the top is not expected, as the vibration of the turbine, homemade vibropodvesy cope with the load.

The required thickness of rubber gaskets 18 mm obtained by bonding the three layers of 6 mm. For installation between the ceiling and by the suspension Marsohod001 I used a porous rubber. Although a lot of time to spend on bonding and assembly of hangers, the cost of one fixture - homemade received about 50 rubles, against three hundred for specialized.

Faced with these challenges, many users of our portal have found the answers to the question how to make vibropodvesy own hands. Some people use rubber from specialty stores, while others prefer to dynamometers.

The basis was taken soundproofing experience from this branch, vibropodvesy collected similarly, tires bought in the store REZINOTEKhNIKA - Sheet 500 x 500 x 8 mm, then glued twice.

sandoz5 (Member FORUMHOUSE):

In our town, too, all the rubber is used as described above. People happy, sound insulation effect is. And this is done due to lack of commercially vibropodvesov.

spets (Member FORUMHOUSE):

I have the same cost of a self-made suspension, but with the use of dynamometer SR110, if possible, better to order it.Load is calculated based on the following data: "working" footprint in each assembled suspension 15 cm², hence the maximum permissible static load of 16.5 kg per hanger (I have on the calculation 12-13 kg). The elastic moduli of the closest to silodinu NC. Conducted a preliminary test of the finished product and damping properties, I was satisfied.

After producing the suspensions was drafted fastener profiles and layout, as well as sheets of GOLS and GCR to vrazbezhku seams turned out.

In the process of mounting suspensions were used rubber pads to the load is distributed evenly. Along the way, it had to partially dismantle the built-in wardrobe, and reduce the height of its mirrored doors. The next "gain" longitudinal profile along the wall, to simplify the control level when installing the remaining rails. Before the final fixing between the profile and the wall paved damping tape. Instead, the purchase cost foam substrate under a laminate of several layers. After mounting crossbars went laying mineral wool, for the convenience of the cut pieces. Wool fastened to the ceiling in the Polypropylene dowels with large caps - "fungi", also known as "dish".

Marsohod001:

When assembled on the level of all the main longitudinal profiles, mounted auxiliary crossbar. After the wool was putting pieces - between the profiles and the ceiling was a small place, because the aim was to lower the minimum ceiling. Sometimes I had to push it hard, but wool is thick, one-piece, in a relatively easy.

To trim frame gipsum-fiber sheets has urged the parties to the labor force in the face of another. To facilitate the work process, complicated by the weight of the material, built a "mop" of the profile. Such an auxiliary home inventory greatly facilitate and accelerate the lining. The final stage of work with the first layer was the treatment of the sealant joints.

The next layer of plasterboard about how to plan. That the seams do not match, the edge of the sheets embroidered. For this Marsohod001 took a plane, you can make unravel and building a sharp knife and spatula. The joints between the wall and patched drywall sealer (around the perimeter of the damper tape).

To save time and effort, was hired professional malyarsha that processed seams poshpaklevala ceiling and painted in white. Since wallpaper slightly injured in the process of arrangement of sound insulation, they, too, re-stick.

Marsohod001:

The result exceeded all expectations - the radio is almost inaudible, sleep does not stop completely. The height of the ceiling to the insulation at the lowest point was 248 cm, on average, was reduced to 7 - 11 cm drop impact slabs. So squat ceiling sensations there. Goals are achieved with minimal cost.

On the resulting effect can be said that the conversation became almost inaudible, and stamping was 50% quieter.

Gameday found a simple and affordable way to gain independence from the lifestyle and preferences of neighbors that can be adapted to different conditions.
