What’s the difference between soundproofing and sound absorbing products?
Soundproofing products are designed to work as a barrier to reduce sound leaving or entering a room or workspace. Sound Absorbers are designed to absorb the sound within a room and help reduce room echo etc. Absorbers do not stop the sound leaving the space but will reduce it.
If you wish to soundproof a room you would need to purchase soundproofing products. It may also be advisable to consider some absorbers inside the room to help reduce the sound before it hits the soundproofing.
If you are D.I.Y minded then you should be fine installing most of our products. If you do not have installation instructions they can be printed off from our website. If you are in any doubt about your ability to install a system you have seen please call our team to discuss BEFORE you order.
On average our systems will take up no more than 2 inches but this really varies depending on the system. On each product page you will be able to see the thickness of the item. The total space taken up by the system will depend on your final wall, floor or ceiling finish.
Soundproofing any area is possible if you are prepared to put enough time, effort and money into it.
The problem with lightweight sheds is they are not built from solid materials. If you wanted to soundproof a shed you would need to lose a min of 5 inches off each wall and ceiling and have a double doorset in place. This for most people is just too much. Our advice in short is, yes it can be done but you are better off building an extension and then soundproofing this area.
A drum kit produces over 100db of noise. This is similar to the sound of a noisy factory. Logic states that you can't just stick a thin rubber layer on the wall to reduce this level of noise. In an ideal world you need to build an isolated floating room within a room. The simple rule is the more soundproofing of ours that you use the better the reduction will be. You will be required to build an isolated wall using timber studs approx 12mm away from the existing wall. The voids between are infilled with our Acoustic Quilt or Acoustic Mineral Wool of sufficient thickness followed by our 2mm Soundproofing Mats stapled to the studs.
Yes you can place your order on this website but not on our main site.
You can order our products through Travis Perkins, Jewsons and many other large building merchants. Most of these merchants don't stock our products. We don’t currently have any dealers as products are ordered directly from us and we despatch to the delivery address nationwide.
We are very selective about who we offer credit to. If you are likely to be ordering on a regular basis from us, this may be available. Please call and speak to our office manager to enquire about this. If you already have an account with a builder’s merchant it is worth asking them if they can order the items on your behalf. You can order our products through Travis Perkins, Jewsons and many other large building merchants.
We offer very competitive discounts on all our products for bulk orders. Please call our sales team for more information.
We accept all major credit and debit cards except for American Express and Amex. You can also pay us with cash or a cheque but we will require approx 7 working days for a cheque to clear. WE REQUIRE A FULL CLEARED PAYMENT BEFORE ANY GOODS WILL BE DESPATCHED.
We use a number of delivery methods and couriers dependant on the size and weight of your order.
In many cases your products will be delivered on a wooden pallet and you will require a suitable sized space to sit this outside your premises. If this is going to be a problem for you please notify our sales team before you order.
This will vary on the way we have to send it to you. In most cases the average delivery cost would be no more than £55.
We offer 2 delivery methods. Next day or our economy service that is normally 2 - 4 days.
Unlike other companies we stock all our soundproofing products in our warehouse. If you require your items on a next day service we will need to receive the order before midday.
Can I pay cash on delivery for the items?
I am afraid we don’t offer that service, as we don’t use our own drivers.
All items we despatch need to be signed for as proof that you have received it. There needs to be someone at the premises to sign for this unless other arrangements have been made.
We are charged by our courier’s everytime they have to redeliver to our customers. We are unable to absorb these costs so you will be re charged if you are not in. The re delivery costs are normally the same as the amount we charged you originally. If you think you may not be in for the delivery please alert the sales team asap and they will try to make alternative plans for your order.
