Product Feature - Basic Wall Soundproofing System

When it comes to information and articles on the internet about soundproofing there is a lot of mis-information and myths about what materials constitute soundproofing and what products will really be effective. What is Soundproofing? Before we go any further let's clear this one up. When we talk about soundproofing, what do we actually mean? To soundproof a room means to make it resistant to the passage of sound, in other words to reduce or stop sound travelling from one room to another or to stop sound passing from the outside to inside a house. In order to be able to do this effectively you need to select the correct materials. Is acoustic foam not soundproofing? In a word, no, acoustic foam will not soundproof. We know you'll find many companies such as on eBay and Amazon selling 'Soundproofing Foam' but this is a very misleading description of a product. While you will get some very slight reduction in sound transfer between rooms, the main purpose of acoustic foam is to improve the acoustics of the room the acoustic foam is installed in. As an example, you've moved into your brand new house, you've worked hard and saved hard and now you finally have the keys. You get everything unpacked, the sofa in the ideal position and you've managed to finally find the kettle. You settle down in the living room to enjoy a peaceful cuppa but there's a problem. It's anything but peaceful because all you can hear is the TV next door blaring out. In fact even when your neighbours are just talking to each other in the house next door you could be a part of the conversation! So what's the solution? Well we can tell you for certain that gluing some acoustic tiles to the wall is not going to solve the problem. It'll make your TV sound a little better when you're watching it but it's not going to solve the issue you have on the other side of that wall. So what is the answer? You are going to need to consider a dedicated soundproofing system. There various routes you could take but the system we would recommend is one of the thinnest on the market and at the same time one of the most effective. Plus it's super simple to install.
