TPS70W
What it does
Effectively reduces sound travelling between the conflicting wall, allowing you to sit in your room and not hear the neighbours’ TV, conversations or light switches. The combination of specialist soundproofing materials and installation techniques:
- Minimises connections to the conflicting wall – harder for sound to transmit through
- Provides great sound absorption qualities – stops sound transferring in and out of the room
- Provides interlocking layers of mass and dense materials – working together to absorb and reflect sound
- Great space-saving solutions for small rooms, giving the most effective soundproofing in 3¾ inches
Where it works best
The TPS70W soundproof wall system is best suited for semi-detached houses where customers want to reduce airborne sounds from next-door neighbours, e.g. TV noise, people talking and loud music. It is also an effective system for flats and rooms where space is at a premium.
This system is a great choice for customers looking for a substantial sound reduction but who do not want to lose too much space in their room.
Airborne noise reduction 80%+
Impact noise reduction 65%+
175mm space loss
TPS80W
What it does
Substantially reduces sound travelling between the conflicting wall, allowing you and your neighbours to make as much noise as you want without disturbing each other’s quality of life.
The combination of specialist soundproofing materials and installation techniques has many benefits:Â
- Isolation from the wall, ceiling and floor – sound can not travel through the conflicting wall
- Provides massive sound absorption qualities – stops sound transferring in and out of the room
- Has a superior airtight seal – with its interlocking layers of acoustic material
- Provides substantial layers of mass and dense materials – working together to provide tremendous sound absorption and reflection
Where it works best
The TPS80W soundproof wall system is best suited for customers looking to make noise themselves or those with particularly noisy neighbours.
It is a great choice for customers looking for maximum sound reduction, where the loss of space is a less-important factor.
Wall Soundproofing Frequently Asked Questions
A: Party wall means the wall between you and your neighbour, for a terrace house you will have two party walls, a semi-detached house you will have one party wall. A flat or apartment may have many party walls. The term party wall describes a separating wall that stands on the lands of 2 (or more) owners and forms part of a building (party wall act 1996). The term separating wall refers to both party wall between dwellings and walls between a flat and a common area such as a separating wall to a communal stairway.
A: Sound proofing is an extremely skilled job that requires an attention to detail like no other trade; all soundproof systems must be airtight! Knowledge of buildings and structure together with the understanding of how sound travels is imperative to the success of any project. The Quiteco installation team take down on average two walls every month, due to a poor soundproofing attempt usually carried out by a local builder or carpenter.
A: Soundproofing yourself is possible, however, soundproofing installation is a specialist skill and if not done properly can even make the sound worse. Please fill out the contact form and we can discuss options with you.
A: Assuming you have concrete floors downstairs, uninsulated chipboard floors upstairs, lightweight plasterboard on all the walls and ceilings. The party wall is the main area that needs soundproofing insulation to both absorb and reflect the noise. However soundproofing this alone will not solve your noise problem. Applying soundproofing products to only the party walls in every room will not solve the problem and may do very little; only changing the acoustics of each room. Depending on how severe the noise problem is, we recommend treating one room properly, treating all the flanking areas with good quality sound proofing materials as well as the party wall. Removing the existing ‘dot and dab’ plasterboard is paramount, an absolute must. Quietco will not install anything directly over the top of ‘dot and dab’ plasterboard. With a new build property built from 1995 to date, it is normally not feasible to soundproof every room in the house because all the ceilings, walls and floors in each of the rooms need isolating from the structure.
A: Main focus noise entering living room / lounge from neighbours TV that they have installed on their living room wall.
Solution:Â Floor and ceiling insulated (no space loss) TPS80W to living room party wall alcoves (space loss 150mm) TPS65W to any chimney stack (space loss 50mm) TPS30W installed to flanking window wall or wall separating lounge dining room (space loss 30mm)Ceilings treated with 2 x layers of sound bloc 15 (space loss 35mm).
A:Â Flanking areas are those areas of your property where sound can transmit indirectly or by going around rather than directly through the main conflicting wall or floor. Even if the main conflicting surface has been soundproofed to a high standard, sound can still transmit through the flanking areas. Some flanking paths can be lounder than the direct paths. Examples of flanking areas for a party wall would be: the floor, ceiling, window wall, RSJ entering the party wall, stud walls, chimneys stacks, bay window ceilings.
A: Soundproofing works by adding layers of acoustic insulation which reduces the amount of sound that can pass through. The reduction depends on the system used;with our systems offering up to 80%+ human perceived reduction in airborne noise. We have products to suit every requirement.
A: We understand that this is an issue that a lot of people have when considering soundproofing. We work with youto get the balance right between the amount of noise reduction and how much room space is lost. We specialize in domestic houses where not every soundproofing problem is the same. We offer a range of systems for ceilings, walls and floors all of which specify the space loss to help you find the best solution for your requirements.
A: If you have a chimney stack on your party wall you will also need to treat this to obtain a good soundproofing result. Depending on what you use your chimney stack for; electric fire, gas fire we can provide a suitable soundproofing system to reduce noise coming through. Alternatively if you do not use your fireplace why not consider removing the chimney stack altogether to create one complete full wall soundproofing system. Check out our video for more information.
A: Yes you can hang pictures on your soundproofed wall. We will provide advice on the right techniques to use to hang them so you do not accidently compromise the soundproofing. If hanging heavy items; mirrors etc. you will need to follow our handy guide to make sure the drilling does not weaken the system.
A: If you want to install a TV on your soundproofed wall it is best to plan this before soundproofing so additional materials can be incorporated into the system to ensure the TV bracket doesn’t compromise the soundproofing system. Please fill out our contact form and we can discuss any queries you may have. Â
