Product Information

It’s no secret it’s a lot easier to soundproof a floor than a ceiling. If you’re on good terms with your upstairs neighbour, it’s worthwhile mentioning things they can do to add soundproofing between the flats.

If you’re looking to work out what ceiling tiles are best for soundproofing, firstly, consider if you are looking for soundproofing and/or sound absorption. There are solutions incorporating each. Ceiling tiles which are effective for soundproofing create a noise barrier which prevents noise from travelling in or out. As you can expect, the amount you spend on soundproof tiles will vary greatly. The cost of tiles will depend on not only the materials but the company that makes them, where they come from, how they look, how many tiles you need, installation costs, and many other factors. An added benefit of tiles made from rigid vinyl is insulation for heat in the cold months and coolness in the hot months. Polyester There are two ways to go around putting up ceiling tiles. If you have foam tiles you can attach them directly to the ceiling, while the second method requires more construction. Option #1: Glue the Tiles Directly to the CeilingIf this is the route you’d like to go down, I’d recommend getting various quotes from acoustic surveyors who specialise in this type of installation. When choosing a flooring material, its acoustic elements are not the only thing to consider. There are 5 acoustic soundproofing floor types. 1. Vinyl tiles Noisestop Systems offer a range of wall soundproofing products to soundproof solid and stud walls. Restore quiet in your home or work environment using one of our direct-to-wall panels to stop unwanted nuisance noise. You can choose from one of our customised soundproofing systems for increased sound insulation levels. Alternatively, combine products from our range and build a custom soundproofing solution that meets your requirements. Wall soundproofing solutions These panels are secured onto the party wall and are made from dense foam. Panels are most effective against airborne noise, but will struggle to deal with impact noise like banging and footsteps.

They may not be as effective at absorbing sound as fiberglass tiles would be, but they’re good enough. After all, styrofoam is still a porous material, which makes it an adequate buffer between the noise and the hard ceiling. Additionally, most styrofoam tiles I’ve seen are decorative, with textures ranging from simple lines and bubbles to intricate swirling designs. They’re also cheap and paintable — which are two more points in their favor. Any ceiling tile will provide a barrier between a room and the space above it. However, specialist products with superior acoustic properties are the best ceiling tiles for soundproofing or sound absorption. Noise stopper or ‘sound stop’ ceiling pads by JCW offer a dual performance, both reducing the transfer of sound, and also absorbing it. They help to reduce noise levels in an existing property by offering a mean average performance of approx 14dB. The product is fitted on top of an existing suspended ceiling. By buying directly from the manufacturer you’ll receive a better specification acoustic product at a similar price point to cheaper retail products.

Quality Fire Retardant Foam Made to UK Standards An existing thin wall can be a big culprit of noise from your neighbours. Often seen in new houses to keep costs low where walls can be extremely thin, noise might not even be your neighbours fault… you might be as loud as them!A great underlay option for heavy footfall, crumb rubber underlay is dense and flat but provides little comfort compared to other underlays. This type is popular for staircases and landings. 5. Felt underlay Another advantage of a false ceiling is insulation, where heat rises you’ll trap more within your lfat keeping it warmer for longer. Solution #2: Extra Insulation Between Joists So, before we get into the prices of these tiles and which ones are best for soundproofing purposes, let’s go over the most common types of soundproof tiles that you can buy. Acoustic Foam Our slimmest panels are the Noisestop1 and Noisestop1+. Combine these panels with other materials to form very effective wall soundproofing solutions. The Noisestop1+ is supplied with all of our wall soundproofing kits. Increase the sound insulation between stud walls with these panels or combine DFM acoustic insulation and soundbreaker bars for a party wall soundproofing solution.

So, if you frequently hear your neighbors stomping around above you, your best bet would be to get them to soundproof their floors, not work on your ceilings. However, if you really believe you need to fortify your ceilings, installing a drop ceiling might be beneficial. Once this Noisestop Acoustic Panel has been installed onto your wall, you can use either tape and fill the edges before decorating or have the wall plastered. Noisestop2 and Noisestop2+ Panels Leave a 2-3mm gap around the perimeter of the wall to reduce flanking sound transmission, apply an acoustic sealant to fill the gap once the installation is complete A false ceiling will essentially add an extra ceiling to your flat. You will also lose around 8-12 inches of ceiling height depending on the specifications of the work. The higher your ceiling the better this will work because you’ll have more room to play with.Acoustics are one of the key attributes to consider when selecting drop ceiling tiles. The correct acoustic ceiling tiles can help optimise workplaces across different sectors in a variety of ways: Depending on how handy your DIY skills are, you might need to employ someone to do the work for you.
