The ability to isolate the walls of a city apartment from external noise is not only a guarantee of personal tranquility and the opportunity to relax in silence after a hard day, but also a great way to protect your personal territory from manifestations of other people's curiosity. Thanks to modern soundproofing materials manufactured in accordance with European standards, lovers of peace can enhance the effect by insulating not only the walls, but also the floor and ceiling.
PenoHome line of materials Euroblock: insulation of a city apartment
The concept of comfort is incompatible with screaming, family conflicts and other sources of harsh sounds, which overwhelm an apartment building. High-quality soundproofing of the room will help to solve the problem .
What is the advantage of the PenoHome Euroblock? Everyone can carry out installation of noise insulation with their own hands, without involving specially trained workers in this process. This method of isolating residential (and non-residential, if necessary) premises from external noise does not require the use of bulky parts and massive coatings that occupy part of the usable space.
Penotherm - for wall insulation
One of the latest developments of the PenoHome Euroblock line is sound insulation by means of Penotherm foam. The material "Penotherm" consists of several polymer layers having different densities. Thanks to such a multilayer structure, the noise insulation sheet acquires the ability to absorb noise of various volumes (both internal and external). Experts call foamed sound insulation one of the most appropriate inventions that allow you to equip a living room and get the highest quality result.
Installation sequence
What you need to know when starting insulating work? First of all, it is necessary to prepare a surface intended for applying foamed polyethylene from PenoHome Euroblock. Soundproofing of external and internal ceilings (in this case, walls) will become possible only after the surfaces are cleaned of dirt and degreased and dried.
In addition, sections of walls studded with small and large cracks, crevices and holes must be patched up. The wall alignment procedure can be missed because the PenoHome Euroblock material for sound insulation is so flexible that it will hide all the bumps. The insulation material is secured using a crate (guide structure). Installation work is performed so that the sheets are in close contact at the joints. Each individual sheet should fit snugly to the surface.
The most common designs today are plasterboard partitions, which are attached to a frame made of wood or metal. Soundproofing material is inserted into the gaps between the sheets of drywall or placed between the wall and the layer of drywall. The final stage consists in gluing the seams with tape. This is necessary to create the most reliable insulation from external noise.
Key features of the PenoHome Euroblock line
The materials of the new sample, due to their small size and structure, do not take up much space and protect residents from noise coming from outside. The minimum thickness of the PenoHome Euroblock sheet for sound insulation is 20 millimeters. Material of this width is used for sound insulation of unheated balconies and loggias.
The maximum width canvas (50 millimeters) is used for soundproofing of heated loggias and balconies, as well as partitions between rooms. Sound insulation material, the width of which is 30 or more millimeters, is used to insulate facades and roofs.
Foam sheets are in the form of mats. The length and width of the canvas - 1000 and 600 millimeters, respectively. The material is quite durable. Once applied, it remains on the surface for 50 years or more, without losing its working properties.
The effectiveness of the PenoHome Euroblock (soundproofing). Residents reviews
PenoHome Euroblock was especially praised by residents of old and prefabricated houses, where noise is echoed. The main advantage of noise insulation through the "Penotherm", which lies in its versatility, was not left without attention. The material can be used to insulate walls, all kinds of internal and external partitions.
"Penotherm" does not deteriorate and prevents the formation of mold in places with high humidity. The main advantage of the noise insulation material is that in addition to its insulating properties, it has the ability to retain warm air, that is, it performs another important function.
In addition to being immune to temperature extremes, Penotherm proved to be a material that can withstand household chemicals. Pasting walls with the help of "Penotherm" is an extremely simple procedure. The owner of the apartment does not need to attract a team of specialists. All noise insulation work, he will be able to perform independently.
Frameless soundproofing method
Before gluing sound insulation (the Euroblock is not glued to the wall as a whole, but only glued around the perimeter with a damping tape), the Penotherm cloth is attached to the upper surface of the wall using plastic dowels. Gypsum fiber sheets are fixed on top of the Penotherm web using plastic dowels or pins on concrete. All joints are coated with sealant.
At the next stage, the upper layer is fastened, which will play the role of upholstery. These can be gypsum plasterboards, on the one hand, specially treated or previously glued with wallpaper. Having cut off the excess soundproofing material peeking out from under the upholstery layer, all the joint lines are again treated with sealant.
