    Sound insulation panels for effective sound reduction

    Noise pollution can be a significant challenge, both in residential areas and in industrial applications. Whether it's noise from machines, compressors, or engines, acoustic insulation panels provide an effective way to reduce sound transmission. Read here about the applications, benefits, and functioning of soundproofing panels.

    What are sound insulation panels?

    Acoustic insulation panels reduce sound transmission by adding mass to constructions. This helps block sound from inside to outside and vice versa, addressing noise problems. These panels are often used to isolate noise from machines, generators and compressors. Each doubling of mass can result in a sound reduction of approximately 3 dB. This means that adding an acoustic insulation panel to a casing or floor offers significant benefits in terms of sound control. 

    A commonly used option is the EASYmass acoustic board, an acoustic insulation board with a high mass and a thin profile, ideal for situations where space is limited but good sound insulation is still desired.

    Applications of sound insulation panels

    Soundproofing plates are versatile and can be used in various applications, including: 

    • Floors: Sound insulation panels help to reduce contact noise, such as footsteps and vibrations from machines. This contributes to a quieter and more comfortable environment. 
    • Enclosures: In industrial settings, sound-insulating panels are used to soundproof enclosures for pumps, motors, and generators. This prevents sound from escaping into the surrounding environment. 
    • Ducts and pipes: Another form of sound-insulating panels is pipe insulation. With pipe insulation, you effectively reduce noise from pipes, contributing to a quieter and more comfortable indoor environment. By applying sound-absorbing materials around pipes, sounds from flowing water, vibrations, and other sources are effectively dampened.

    Soundproofing panels versus sound absorbing panels

    There is an important difference between soundproofing panels and sound-absorbing panels: 

    • Sound insulation panels: Block sound by adding mass and reducing sound transmission. This is ideal for applications where sound needs to be kept inside or outside a space. They are usually made from high-density materials, such as solid wood, plaster, or special sound-insulating materials.  
    • Sound-absorbing panels: These sound-dampening panels are designed to absorb sound waves and reduce echo. They are made from porous materials such as acoustic foam and are often used in spaces where good acoustics are important. 

    How do you choose the right soundproofing panels?

    When in doubt, ask for advice!

    The effectiveness of soundproofing material depends on multiple factors, such as the type of material, the thickness, and the method of application. Well-chosen and correctly installed materials can drastically reduce sound transmission and help improve acoustics.
