<br />
<br />
<div style="text-align: left;">
- A very efficient and aesthetic way to reduce noise reverberation or echo in a room is to use custom made stretched fabric panels.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
You chose a fabric you like, many are suitable for this application but not all of them.</div>
<div style="text-align: left;">
<br /></div>
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Why using Fabric?</span></b><br />
<br />
We use fabric for aesthetic reason and to cover and hide the acoustic absorbers.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Which Fabric Can We chose?</span></b><br />
<br />
Most fabric are suitable but generally we use a fabric that has a bit of stretch, like cotton, wool or blend cotton-polyester and other type of fibres.<br />
Some fabric have no stretch at all and are harder to install such as some type of silk, fo example.<br />
For an acoustic point of vue it is better to chose a fabric that can breath and allow air to go through.<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">Where Can We Install the Fabric Panels?</span></b><br />
<br />
Fabric panels can be installed on any surfaces, walls, ceilings, doors etc...<br />
For acoustic purpose, it is better to install near the corners of the room, that's where usually you'll get most of the noise reverberation.<br />
If you chose for example two walls, you'll get better results if you install your panels on two adjacent walls instead of two oposite walls.<br />
<br />
<span style="color: #0b5394;"><b>What Type of Acoustic Absorbers Should We Use?</b></span><br />
<br />
If the room to treat is mainly used for talking, 25mm thick acoustic absorber will be enough.<br />
If you are playing music, music instruments, use subwoofers than you'll need at least 50mm thick acoustic absorbers.<br />
There are different type of acoustic absorbers, rock wool, fibre glass, foam, polyester to name a few.<br />
You'll need to use a high density acoustic absorber, 48-60kg/m3 for example<br />
<br />
<b><span style="color: #0b5394;">How many Fabric Panels Do We Need?</span></b><br />
<br />
A rough estimate is to install between 50-70% of the surface of the floor.<br />
<br />

<div style="text-align: center;">
<span style="font-size: large;"><u><br /></u></span></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Loaded vinyl or any sound barriers must be perfectly sealed to work but the cavity ceiling is usually full of pipes, wires and ducts making the work too difficult to seal allowing too much noise going through the gaps, most of the time it is a waste of money.</li>
</ul>

<u><span style="background-color: white; color: #0b5394; font-size: large;">Why Sound Absorbers Are The Best Option</span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<u><span style="font-size: large;"><br /></span></u></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">Easy to install between wires, pipes and ducts.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Doesn't need to be perfectly sealed, sound get absorbed while traveling through gaps.</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">Ideal product to be used as acoustic ducts, because it allows airflow to go freely through but absorbs the sound on it's way.</li>
</ul>

</div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
<div style="text-align: left;">
</div>
<ul>
<li style="text-align: left;">I recommend high density <b>polyester</b> batts because it is not itchy and does not attract mould or bugs.It is allergy free</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">It is recyclable</li>
<li style="text-align: left;">It will last the life time of the building</li>

<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
The video below shows you the best and most cost efficient way to reduce impact noise (footsteps) and airborne noise (voices, music, TV...) through a concrete ceiling in an apartment.</div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.youtube.com/embed/OEs3jlNOzwY?feature=player_embedded' frameborder='0'></iframe></div>
<br />
<br />
- Buildings made of concrete floors, ceilings and hard walls are very hard to sound proof because noises vibrate through the whole structure of the building; for example, if someone is drilling two <span style="text-align: center;">apartments</span> away you'd hear it very clearly in your <span style="text-align: center;">apartment.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">This problem could be easily assessed during construction but in many countries the sound transmission is not taken much into consideration making it very difficult to solve it after.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">- If the floors are covered with carpets you'd have two benefits, one is a big </span><span style="text-align: center;">footsteps </span><span style="text-align: center;">noise reduction but also a significant </span><span style="text-align: center;">airborne noise </span><span style="text-align: center;">reduction by eliminating "echo"because the carpet works as a sound absorber. It does not only make a difference for people below but also for people next door.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">For example you may not hear your neighbour </span><span style="text-align: center;">TV </span><span style="text-align: center;">n</span><span style="text-align: center;">ext door but as soon as he remove his carpet and replace it by tiles or timber floor, he'll create a lot of echo in his room resulting of doubling the noise,</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;">echo create an unintelligible sound and we tend to increase the volume to hear better and that </span>
<br />
<div class="MsoNormal">
exacerbates<span style="text-align: center;"> the problem even more, making the walls vibrating and suddenly you can hear clearly the TV from your </span><span style="text-align: center;">neighbours.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: center;">- It is always better to fix the problem where the noise is created, in this case the best solution would have to install the floor boards above on a floating floor but the neighbours above are not very often willing to do that, therefore the only solution is to treat the ceiling below and that is less efficient because you have to stop a noise that has been already created and get transmitted not only through the ceiling but through the walls below as well. By treating the ceiling you'll solve part of the problem, if you want complete peace you'd need also to treat the walls.</span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: center;">In other words, you can't stop noise transmission in this type of buildings unless you build a room inside the room. An acoustic ceiling will only reduce the noise coming from the ceiling, the walls will still transmit some noise if there are not treated as well but it is still a good compromise.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: center;">- For ceilings made of timber joists and timber floors, you can use a similar system and it will work even better, one of the reasons is that you can fill the ceiling cavity between the joists with a thick layer of high density acoustic absorbers, the other reason is the timber joists will transmit less footsteps vibrations through the walls than the concrete slabs.</span><br />
<span style="text-align: center;"><br /></span></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">
<span style="text-align: center;">- More sound proofing stories will come regularly and I would love to receive your feedback in order to improve the content and the quality of my blog.</span></div>
