Who are The Soundproofing Store?

The Soundproofing Store Team

The Soundproofing Store is one of the largest online retailers of Soundproofing materials in the UK. Set up in 2015 by MD Ian Baker, the company has experienced exceptional growth, year on year since launch.

The soundproofing journey so far

When Ian first set up The Soundproofing Store, he saw a gap in the market for domestic customers who were needing advice and solutions to their noisy neighbour problems. This remains a key area for the business, although it has also evolved into more specialist areas of soundproofing such as recording studios and band practice rooms. Growth within this area has resulted in the business now encompassing a specialist studio department.

Other areas of growth have also come from the building trade and specifiers market. It became ever more apparent that it wasn’t just domestic customers who required soundproofing advice and products, but also builders and architects who also needed expert advice on new build and refurbishment projects. Especially in relation to complying with Part E Building Regulations - relating to the passage of sound (for properties with a change of use or new builds).

What makes the Soundproofing Store different?

Dynamism has always played and continues to play an important part of the business, especially when it comes to product sourcing and development. The sourcing of new soundproofing technologies has been instrumental in the success of the business and the solutions offered to our customers. In January, The Soundproofing Store launched an exclusive and brand-new soundproofing product (The ReductoClip™ System). This is the thinnest soundproofing independent clip system on the market, which The Soundproofing Store has brought to market and which has received rave reviews from customers. The focus on research and innovative product development within the market means The Soundproofing Store continues to pave the way in making and selling world-leading soundproofing products to you, our customers.

A library of Soundproofing content

A major area where The Soundproofing Store stands out from other soundproofing companies is the curation of educational content. Used to help guide customers in their search and selection of the correct type of soundproofing for the level of noise they are experiencing and explaining in simple terms how the material is installed, and the loss of space expected. The Soundproofing Store is proving itself as the authoritative voice within the soundproofing industry. This can be seen across the website and the amount of content readily available depending on customers individual soundproofing issues. This is further evidenced through The Soundproofing Store videos, with our ‘How to soundproof a party wall’ video having over 560,000 views on YouTube (and growing) and many of the Soundproofing Store’s blogs showing as the first organic content listing on Google.
