We all desire maximum peace and comfort in our homes. However, without careful attention to this aspect, sound transfer between rooms is very likely to occur unobstructed and become bothersome for both residents and neighbors.
Sound travels in waves and moves faster than air or water. Therefore, any hole or crack in the flooring can be a source through which sound can penetrate.
Since newer houses and apartments are generally built with larger open-space living rooms and kitchens, the risk of sound intensity increasing in certain spaces also rises.
Installing extruded polystyrene foam boards for sound insulation inside the flooring at the time of installation is one of the best solutions to reduce sound transfer from one room to another. In addition, the lifespan of the flooring will be significantly extended.
Here are some tips for installing extruded polystyrene foam boards for sound insulation:
Make sure the boards fit together perfectly during installation. Any gaps or cracks will allow sound to penetrate.
Fasten the extruded polystyrene foam boards to ensure they do not change position in the future.
