How to choose home insulation material?

Five common sound insulation methods, which one needs to be adapted to local conditions

To start the sound insulation decoration of the home, we must first understand what sound insulation methods are available, and then choose the one that is suitable according to the actual situation of the home.

Window sound insulation

Most of the noise that troubles the owners comes from the outside world. The music of the square dance, the whistle of the car… This is a very torturous existence, so the owner pays relatively high attention to the sound insulation of the windows.

Sound insulation method:

1. A relatively simple and rude way is to choose soundproof glass. The mainstream soundproof glass in the market currently includes hollow glass, vacuum glass and laminated glass. In terms of cost performance, double-layer insulating glass is recommended.

2. For some noise that is not strong but affects rest, when the width of the window sill is satisfied, a layer of steel windows can be superimposed on the original windows to reduce the noise.

Five common ways of sound insulation How to choose materials for home sound insulation decoration?

Wall sound insulation

For wall sound insulation decoration, we need to analyze specific problems in detail. Has your home completed the decoration? Still at the stage of not completing the hard-installation? At different stages, the processing methods are also different.

Sound insulation method:

1. After the decoration has been completed, just buy some soundproof sponges or soundproof boards directly on the wall.

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

3. If this effect is still not ideal, just make some soft packs. TV background wall, bedside background wall, and partial wall can be done.

Door sound insulation

The sound insulation capacity of the door is fixed. The key to the sound insulation effect of the door is whether it will be picked. What depends on the sound insulation effect of the door is the gap between the door and the ground. If the gap is too large, the sound insulation effect will of course be greatly reduced.

Sound insulation method:

1. Choose a door with relatively good airtightness.

2. If you don’t want to change the door, you can buy some products with sound insulation effects such as mute strips, which can also reduce the noise to a relatively degree.

Ceiling sound insulation

When it comes to ceiling sound insulation, especially in old houses in some years, nothing is done with sound insulation decoration. In daily life, the children beating upstairs, the sound of moving stools, the sound of home hitting the ground, and the sound of falling objects are endless. These daily noises almost make people break down. Therefore, if your home is not on the top floor, it is still a better choice to make ceiling sound insulation.

Sound insulation method:

1. Make ceiling or gypsum board, a more direct way of sound insulation.

2. If the effect of ceiling or plasterboard is not good, you can install the sound insulation layer in the ceiling.

 

Water pipe sound insulation

Attention to the bedroom with bathroom! Waking up by the sound of flushing in the middle of the night is a common situation. After a long time, it is false to say that I am not irritable. So, let this part of the sound insulation be done.

Sound insulation method:

1. Wrap the water pipe with sound insulation material to reduce noise.

2. If possible, do not design water pipes in the rest area during decoration, which really affects rest.

Four popular indoor sound insulation materials The selection method is actually very simple

Sound insulation felt

At present, the sound insulation felt in the city is used for sound insulation, which is mainly used for matching with gypsum board. It is mostly used for sound insulation of walls and ceilings, and also suitable for sound insulation of water pipes. Moreover, it is a sound insulation material with convenient construction, environmental protection and relatively high cost performance.

Purchase skills:

1. Cut the sound insulation felt with a cutting knife. If the shimmering iron powder particles are clearly visible on the section, it means that it is a good sound insulation felt.

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

3. It is a good sound insulation felt that will not be broken or deformed after repeated folding.

Acoustic panels

When used in different positions, the selected sound insulation board is also different. At present, the sound insulation board with good sound insulation performance is a kind of damping sound insulation board with constrained damping structure. It is composed of two building boards, such as gypsum board, glass magnesium board, calcium silicate board, cement pressure fiber board and other materials with a layer in between. It is formed from polymer damping materials and belongs to a new type of material in the field of green buildings.

Purchase skills:

1. It is important to see whether the sound insulation board has a test report. Any board can be called a sound insulation board, but the sound insulation effect of various materials is very different.

2. Only two testing institutions and laboratories authorized by China Metrology Certification CMA and China Conformity Assessment and Accreditation Committee CNAS can be professional in sound insulation testing.

Soundproof windows

Generally, it is composed of double or triple layers of glass and window frames of the same texture and different thickness. At present, the mainstream sound insulation glass in the market includes: insulating glass, vacuum glass and laminated glass. We can use plastic steel or FRP window frames instead of aluminum alloy window frames, which can also reduce noise.

Purchase skills:

1. Check whether the profile, glass, and hardware are uniform in color and whether the accessories are complete.

2. See if the processing is fine and the tangent is smooth.

3. See if the seal between the glass and the frame is done well.

4. Buy in regular stores, the products of these stores are not only superior in quality, but also have relatively complete after-sales service.

Soundproof door

The door partition is not soundproof, one is mainly to look at the door panel, and the other is to look at the gap between the door and the ground. If you want to effectively isolate the sound from entering through the door, the professional recommends the use of solid wood doors.

Purchase tips:

1. Look at the weight, the sound insulation effect of the denser is relatively better, which is why the sound insulation effect of the lighter molded door is greatly reduced.

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

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