1. 15mm Acoustic Plasterboard - heavier and more dense than standard plasterboard. Adds more mass to the wall to help block airborne noise. The same final finish as standard plasterboard for final decoration


2. 3mm Mass Loaded Vinyl - high mass acoustic barrier to help block airborne noise


3. 9mm Closed Cell Foam - dampens sound energy and vibrations


4. 3mm Mass Loaded Vinyl - a second layer of high mass to further block airborne noise

Wall Soundproofing FAQs

  • Does soundproofing work?

    Our soundproofing systems will reduce noise and are designed to exceed the UK Part E Building Regulations for the passage of sound. The highest performing system is the ReductoClip System for walls. 

    No soundproofing will offer 100% reduction, however installing soundproofing will dramatically reduce noisy neighbour noise.

    *dB results will vary depending on several factors.

    Please see our dB blog on why dB results may vary


  • How do I bring electrics through the soundproofing?

    To help eliminate weak spots where socket boxes are to be installed we recommend using our soundproof socket box inserts (acoustic socket putty pads). These are available for 35mm or 47mm depth boxes single and double. For cables and light switches no further soundproofing is necessary apart from sealing any small gaps with acoustic sealant.

  • Do I need to soundproof my chimney breast?

    No, you shouldn't need to add any soundproofing materials to the chimney breast. We normally only soundproof the alcoves of the dividing wall to the sides of your chimney breast. 

    Chimney breasts are generally made from a double layer of very dense fire brick. This makes the chimney breast area very high in mass and therefore perform better for soundproofing than the single standard bricks in the alcoves. Please see our dedicated Chimney breast soundproofing blog

  • Can I decorate directly onto SoundBoard 4?

    The SoundBoard 4 has a 15mm acoustic grade plasterboard finish, so standard plasterboard decorating techniques apply. To decorate plasterboard, we normally recommend a skim plaster on top of the plasterboard to cover joins and screw holes. This helps provide a flat even finish which can then be painted directly onto.

    If using wallpaper use a heavy-duty dry lining wallpaper first and then a final wallpaper finish.

  • Do you offer an installation service?

    There are two main options for installing our DIY soundproofing solutions: 


    DIY Installation

    • All of our systems have been designed to be DIYable - saving you any unnecessary installation expense
    •  80% of customers install the systems themselves - we've made DIY installation an easy option
    • We supply simple and comprehensive step-by-step installation guides and videos - for fuss free installation
    • Our technical team are on hand to answer any questions and provide installation support - we're here every step of the way

    Using a local tradesperson

    • You're well on your way to noise free living. If installing the system yourself isn't an option, then simply use a local tradesperson
    • We take away any stress of installation by speaking directly to your tradesperson throughout the process
  • Once installed, can I put pictures/decoration on the walls?

    The final layer of the soundproofing is a 15mm acoustic grade plasterboard which is much stronger than standard plasterboard. So the short answer is yes. However, if you are hanging very heavy items more secure fixings may be needed directly into the solid wall.

  • Does soundproofing foam work to block noise?

    A regular question we are asked is 'can you use soundproofing foam (thin egg box foam panels) for soundproofing against noisy neighbours, or when building your own home studio?' Unfortunately, the short answer is no. Please see our foam soundproofing blog for more information
