Pipe soundproofing

What causes sound in a pipe?

The sound occurs when falling water hits the inner wall of the pipe. This contact causes vibrations, also known as contact noise, which are audible in the surroundings.

How do you isolate the sound of a pipe?

For effective sound insulation, a so-called mass-spring-mass system is often used. In the case of a pipe, the casing forms the first mass. Around this, a elastic, absorbent material is applied (the spring), followed by a second mass, for example, a mass plate. This system dampens both impact and airborne noise, making the flowing water barely audible.

What material do you use for pipe insulation?

EASYmass pipe insulation is specially developed for piping insulation. This product combines a foam layer with a mass plate, thereby directly forming the mass-spring-mass system. The material is easy to cut to size with a utility knife and, thanks to the aluminium mesh core, easy to shape around pipes and bends. This makes installation quick and practical.

Secure the EASYmass pipe insulation with tyraps and finish the seams neatly with, for example, duct tape, so that the pipe is fully sealed.
