Product Information

Whether you have exposed drywall on your ceiling or a flat plaster finish, you should be able to glue your tiles on fairly easily. Note, however, that this method may not work on bumpy ceilings or ones that already have a decorative textured finish. You’ll have to scrub off or level the texture with more plaster before proceeding. 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 Ceiling 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. 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.

This can sometimes be covered in your lease (as mentioned above) as some state carpets must be used for flats and laminate not permitted other than the bathroom and kitchen. Alternative Solutions Get to Know Your Neighbours Made with a sound-insulating underlayment, vinyl tiles - particularly luxury vinyl tile (LVT) - are a popular choice because of their low maintenance costs, versatility and durability. You can use vinyl tiles in commercial and home environments, such as bathrooms, kitchens and utility rooms. Vinyl underlay or any other type of underlay is not needed because the flooring base layer is cushioned. 2. CarpetMost ceiling tiles do very little to soundproof a ceiling, however they do change the acoustics of a room which can give the impression that they work for soundproofing. Each tile has a sound absorption rating. This is measured in alpha waves between 0.0 (no sound absorption) and 1.0 (complete sound absorption). To make this easier to understand, most suspended ceiling tile manufacturers categorise their products into classes ranging from A (the best sound absorbers) to E (the poorest sound absorbers).

A comfortable and sustainable option, cork flooring is frequently used as an acoustic underlay to provide insulation. You might see cork flooring in various environments from kitchens to bathrooms, children’s playrooms and living rooms. Advantages of soundproof flooring Complies with the requirements of Schedule 1, Part 1, The Furniture and Furnishings (Fire) (Safety) Amended Regulations 1989. This method involved removing your ceiling, adding insulation between the joists and replacing the ceiling. NRC: Sound-dampening materials are rated on the Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) scale of 0 to 1, with 0 representing no sound absorption and 1 representing all sound absorption. This scale is more easily understood as a percentage, rather than a decimal; for example, an NRC of 0.3 is 30% noise absorption, and so on. If correctly specified, your suspended acoustic ceiling should last a long time. To keep it performing effectively, we recommend regular maintenance such as light dusting and cleaning. Please Note: This will vary depending on your product.Remove skirting boards, coving and extend electrical outlets; these can be reinstated once the work is complete. 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 Top Tip: To achieve a decent level of sound absorption, we recommend selecting a tile that’s rated Class C or above. This is also the minimum requirement for new suspended ceilings installed within schools. Sound Insulation Installation– Installing your suspended acoustic ceiling panels couldn’t be easier. Once your ceiling grid is fitted, all you need to do is lift the tiles through the gaps and lower them into place. This means they’re also easy to remove again should you need to replace any in the future.

Acoustic Ceiling Panel Installation Advice 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. Noise always seems more bearable when you know someone. My son makes a lot of noise from playing with toys and just generally being loud, but because we’re on good terms with our neighbours no one minds. Note: although these look like egg boxes they are not! Learn more about egg box soundproofing. What Upstairs Neighbours Can Do If you’re struggling with acoustics in your workplace, we offer a variety of products to suit any eventuality. From more traditional systems to design-led solutions, these include:Now let’s try to find these criteria in the best ceiling tiles I’ve found. Top Acoustic Ceiling Tiles on the Market Armstrong Acoustic Ceiling Tiles 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. Our acoustic tiles lessen the energy output of mid to high-frequency sound waves. This is achieved by softening reflection points. When sound waves hit the peaks and valleys of the foam, the energy they contain is reduced. This inhibits them from traveling and helps to improve overall sound quality in your room of choice. You might find that your neighbours don’t even know they’re being loud. Be sure to make them aware of your noise issues and see if that makes a difference.

Physical properties are measured using test methods described in the BS4443 series and BS EN ISO 845:1995. Arguably, if you either can’t afford or can’t find tiles made from rigid vinyl, the next best option is melamine foam. Tiles made from this material are almost as soundproof as rigid vinyl and also slightly more inexpensive.Now, you might be wondering whether applying an acoustic treatment to your ceilings is even necessary. Well, in my opinion, most rooms don’t need these kinds of treatments. They usually don’t play a big part in preventing sounds from escaping or allowing them to enter a room. However, they can be helpful in rooms where even incremental acoustic differences matter. Yes, you can soundproof walls effectively with direct to wall soundproofing panels. Choose from a range of soundproofing panels designed to effectively soundproof walls with a minimum amount of space loss in the room. Noisestop Acoustic Panel
