Sound insulation and soundproofing of apartment
Wall and window

Perhaps traffic noise of night obstructs quiet sleep, impairs health.With the location where the traffic density is many secure sound insulation measure!

It will follow to the previous floor compilation, this time it will try thinking of the sound which is transmitted through the wall & the window.

The sound which is audible through the boundary wall of the next door door it is troublesome the time, perhaps, and doing also sound inside has been audible because? With it becomes also the seed of the worry which is said.In addition, not be able to sleep quietly either the traffic noise which jumps in night from the window, with big problem the shank.

This time, if you have known to here, the apartment (two) it is accustomed, checkpoint “of sound insulation soundproof characteristic of the wall and the window” is introduced.

Type of sound which is audible through the wall

There is a sound of voice and the television and a sound etc of the piano in the sound which is audible through the wall being emitted in the air, in order to be transmitted, it calls that airborne sound.If it is the structure where the wall shuts down this airborne sound, it is possible to think, that sound is not transmitted on this side of a certain extent, can pass gently probably will be.

Checkpoint of sound insulation soundproofing of wall

Generally, is called the boundary wall (to come, or to) the wall of boundary of next door residence door at such as apartment.Then first it will try increasing the sound insulation soundproof characteristic checkpoint of the boundary wall.

1. It does with the concrete?
2. As for thickness?
3. Presence of structural slit
4. position of the outlet box switch box
5. presence or absence of the board of finish

check1: boundary wall is concrete or

high-rise apartment in ordinary reinforced concrete is, boundary wall is almost the case is made of concrete, autoclaved lightweight concrete wall in rare cases such as high-rise apartment and steel ( ALCversion that) such as, some have built in something other than concrete. in this case, it is careful about the sound insulation.

check2: wall thickness of the boundary

after verifying that the boundary wall is a concrete, check the thickness then. let’s check of the apartment ads, etc.. good rule of thumb is to150mmor more, the thicker is better if atsukere.

check3: presence or absence of the slit structure

rarely in the structural reasons, slit on the edge of the concrete pillar and the wall (gap) there is a case to make. this is in terms of sound insulation is unfortunately out. to maintain the sound insulation is, of concrete pillars and walls without a gap that has led. when the slit is provided, sound is leaking from this gap will.

(conceptual diagram slit structure) gap in the structural reasons such as the boundary between the pillar and wall (slit) you may make a. since concrete cut off wall, sound insulation performance of this part is reduced.


check4: switch box outlet box embedded

if there is a wall outlet or switch sakai, make sure that with how. if the lack of concrete wall crowded with parts if those boxes, will be that the thinner the thickness of concrete walls that minute. may sound leaking from a thin concrete part.

(lacks a conceptual diagram crowded wall outlet box, etc.) you may have been paid crowded box lacks the concrete wall so as not to protrude from the wall outlet or switch. the other side (next door) if there is any lack crowded in the same position · · ·.


check5: gap between the wall and finishing industry board

is the interior finish of the wall boundary, in terms of soundproofing and sound insulation finishing stretch vinyl cross directly to the concrete wall is the best. put directly it may be a bad image and say, tension can not be straight and construction accuracy of concrete is not good. found the properties that do not cross the wall vinyl upholstered straight world for no reason, you might worry.

typically, internal finish of the wall facing the outside air, unique board covered with adhesive-shaped dumpling, plastic hull cross thereGLmethod is used. property boundary to the wall you are using this method is basicallyNG. resonance phenomenon that drum into the gap between the wall and the board will occur, you may hear a big sound.

(conceptual diagram wall finish) cover the plastic cross the finish construction on its board and wearing a dumpling-shaped adhesive on the wall as shown in this figureGLmethod is called. method is used so many easy-to-construction, may sound insulation will be lower drum phenomenon in this method and use the boundary wall.

or more, the check point about the sound transmitted through the wall5i mentioned one. if you look closely at the floor plan in the brochure of the model room, slit of the wall, including the location of the outlet box oyster, can be confirmed and that happened to the finish of the wall boundary. after checking another apartment through fine so far (through) it might be nice to say that.
