How can I soundproof my condo or an apartment of my noisy neighbors upstairs? & 39; C is by far the most asked question I hear & 39; on a daily basis. It & 39; d & 39; is a question by d & 39; eminent architects, engineers & 39;, major developers and contractors. We now find that this is also a major concern of owners who rent part of their house to tenants. Many factors must be taken into account when evaluating & 39; l l & 39; floor, a noise issue. The first question you should ask is simply this, the problem is impact noise, or suspended in the air & 39; noise (TV, stereo, telephone etc.) d & 39; from the top . Nine times out of ten, & 39; impact of noise is the main concern. What is the impact & 39; noise? It is the noise caused by people or animals walking on the upper deck & 39; (usually hardwood). This type of noise is regarded as the structure and noise is one of the most difficult there are noises from soundproof. Noise impact is fundamentally sound that moves directly by the joisting structure of & 39; upper deck directly into the disc mounted ceiling below. Another term for this is known as " foot fall " noise. Impact of noise travels through the floor joists structure at a speed of more than 1200 times higher than the transmission of his tour through the & 39; air. Keep in mind that the & 39; most systems & 39; home joists and studded walls are generally 16 inches in the centre, not only do you get the speed of the impact of noise & 39; shooting down, but the joists spaced perfectly serve as a tuning fork that has caused her to support the (last) & 39; impact aggravates the problem. The best and most effective d & 39; stop the noise impact & 39; d & 39; at the top is to isolate & 39; joists & 39; structure and the upper deck (which is generally hardwood) ceiling below. This can be accomplished in several ways. The most common is to float (on acoustic suspend sound clips or flexible) the ceiling by means of elastic and & 39; d & 39; isolation clips fur canals (cap) or the most common method of floating , RC-1 (resistant channel). The Good, The Bad, and the worst of these two methods will be discussed in depth. Any d & 39; First, we have the industry standard, which is RC-1 or terminate chain. It & 39; d & 39; is a bride to Z channel (usually with only a flange that attaches to the joists) and greater flange to support the floating ceiling drywall. RC-1 can be purchased from a supplier of plasterboards, entrepreneurs or a house d & 39; supply. The flexible are generally attached perpendicular to the joists and the ranks are evenly spaced about 2 to 3 & 39; separately. The bride (flexible) in a ceiling request all face the same direction to get the maximum resistance in the new ceiling. Remember, the more the bride is the & 39; a screw in drywall. Always use screws when you drywall, never use nails. Once the RC-1 is properly installed on & 39; entire ceiling, you& 39;re ready to drywall. The new drywall is screwed directly by the drywall and the resistance of the channel (more) 1 " bride. You use 1 to 1 " self-tapping screws drywall or in rare cases, sheet metal screws. If the resistance (floating ceiling) is installed according to manufacturers& 39; instructions, it will be about one & 39; d " gap around the perimeter of the new floating ceiling. Flottait The ceiling should never come into direct contact with the adjacent walls. That is not negotiable & 39; people. " The gap is then filled with an acoustic caulking, (175 OSI is a good caulking for this application), then finally the new ceiling will be registered, mudded and painted as a hard joint joists mounted l & 39; installing drywall. The caulking & 39; is the interface between resistance ceiling and walls adjacent. There you have one, mans floating ceiling.
Now if you& 39;re really on your ceiling soundproofing, you have d & 39; an audio clip and fur chain method float. This setup is very similar to the RC-1 d & 39; installation, however, the system sound clips will more than double the & 39; soundproofing and impact isolation & 39; d & 39; protection perfectly installed RC-1. Basically you& 39;ll need an audio clip & 39; for every 4 square feet of ceiling. For example, if your ceiling is 400 sq. m. total pi, you will need 100 sound clips to complete the installation & 39;. Check with manufacturers d & 39; facilities for more detailed instructions d & 39; installation. Once you have the sound clips screwed to the joists, you will have to break in the chain of tartar. & 39; We have not talked much on metal chains or fur hat " " chain, as they are commonly called, so let me briefly describe this document. Fur chain, or a hat channel is a galvanized steel chain which is 7 / 8 " tall and measures 2 3 / 8 " flange to flange. At the & 39; use fur channels at the same time that sound clips, you still want to buy the 25 gauge channels as opposed to 20 gauge, which is too steep for this application. The fur chain will be compressed by hand and displays & 39; s perfectly into the joists mounted sound clips. The chain lines will be spaced 2 to 3 & 39; separately (check the instructions & 39; installation). The first line starts around 4 " in the adjacent wall, then each line will be spaced 2 to 3 & 39; separately. Now comes the fun part! You saw the new drywall directly into the canal fur, keeping the screw closest to the centre of the hat chain as possible. If the plasterboard responds directly to the middle of & 39; a chain, make sure d & 39; stagger the screws to the length of drywalls (replacing one on each side of the seam). Now, just as with RC-1 installation, you must maintain a " gap around the perimeter of the new floating ceiling where the drywall does not touch adjacent walls. Once again, this area will be sealed with & 39; OSI-175 acoustic caulking material, and you tape, mud, paint and ceiling, d & 39; as usual. You have the & 39; people, its professional isolation at a fraction of the cost " Big Boys " costs. A good analogy afloat ceiling method is to view your ceiling as being like a trampoline. The new ceiling must not communicate with & 39; adjacent walls and, therefore, it is free to make its elastic thing only. Keep in mind & 39; l l & 39; impact that & 39; isolation is made to sound clip and joists part where there is a thick neoprene rubber seal on the clip that breaks the circuit between the sub - floor above and the new floating ceiling.
Lastly, if you are able to float 2 layers of plasterboard on the sound bites, it is recommended & 39; use his green Colle composed anchorage between 2 layers of plasterboard. J & 39; hopes that this article was informative and gives you the & 39; hope that you can soundproof apartment or condo these neighbors & 39; crush the floor.
