subject: Hear The Difference Of A Soundproofed Home [print this page] In the UK there are many common home improvement installations that are considered must haves for any home. It is completely normal to want new windows, a conservatory, a loft conversion or a large extended kitchen however, there is one very important and useful home improvement that many people do not realise exists; soundproofing. This article will explain some of the amazing uses of soundproofing and just what an audible difference it can make to your life.
Keep the Noise Out
By fitting soundproofing walls or other sound insulation products you can create a home that is far more resistant to many daily sources of noise pollution. Living on a busy road often means a large amount of noise is generated from traffic which can be a daily nuisance, affecting sleep and the general quality of life. Further sources of noise include; planes, building sites, car alarms, factories and railways. Many people will suffer these problems yet are not aware there is a solution as simple as soundproofing; instead people will often resort to moving home or putting towels against a window. This simple and cost effective home improvement genuinely improves your home and your life.
Be a Friendly Neighbour
In the UK many homes are in close proximity to each other; this means that any noise created within the home can easily disturb others who live in the area. By fitting soundproofing, especially in terraced or semi-detached homes, it is possible to reduce the noise that passes through the walls. This can be useful if you have noisy neighbours or think that you are disturbing those who live round you. This simple process can avoid any nasty conflicts or complaints to the council; it is also permanent and will mean you can avoid a lot of potential stress!
Music Rooms
One of the greatest internal uses for sound insulation materials is for the creation of music rooms. Anyone with a love of music will know just how loud it can be and when you are not the one playing it can be very disturbing and annoying. By using soundproofed ceiling, wall and floor products, you can create a completely enclosed room that will absorb any internal sources of noise. One of the best places to create a music room is in a basement; it is a far more efficient use of materials as it is very rare that you will need to soundproof the floor.
