How iKoustic’s products are transforming homes with Yorkshire Soundproofing.
In today’s increasingly noisy world, the need for soundproofing solutions has never been more apparent. The meteoric rise in remote work and the growing demand for peace and quiet in our homes, effective soundproofing is no longer a luxury—it’s a necessity.
A recent article by Sharon Dale, Property and Interiors Editor for The Yorkshire Post, highlights the growing challenges of noise issues within homes and how our products are pivotal in solving them.
Noise Problems: A Common Concern
Whether it’s the barking of a neighbor’s dog, the relentless blaring of loud music, or the general clatter of daily life, unwanted noise can disrupt the tranquility of our homes. Andy Youngson, founder of Yorkshire Soundproofing says the problem is widespread, particularly in properties with brick and block walls, semi-detached houses, and modern new-builds.
Innovative Soundproofing Solutions with iKoustic
His approach to tackling these noise issues often involves installing decoupling systems such as MuteClip®, a technique that creates a separated, sound-proofed internal wall in front of the existing one. What’s the key to this solution? High-quality materials and innovative products, many of which come from iKoustic.
A decoupled system starts with a frame fixed only to the adjacent walls, floor, and ceiling using the MuteClip® Isolation Clips & Channels. High density acoustic mineral wool is then used to fill the cavity between the frame and the existing wall. To finish the job, 2 layers of Acoustic Plasterboard are added which are often upgraded with a Tecsound layer in between.
Real-Life Transformations: Case Studies
The effectiveness of our products is evident in the transformations we’ve helped achieve. Take the case of Lisa Slater, plagued by noise from her upstairs neighbours, she even considered moving out of her beloved home!
With the help of Yorkshire Soundproofing, a soundproof ceiling was installed. The result? A drastic reduction in noise that has allowed Lisa to stay in her home, peacefully.
In a similar case, David Wilson, a resident of a semi-detached house in Leeds, struggled with noisy neighbours who rented the adjoining property. After Acoustic Panels supplied by iKoustic were installed on a six-meter wall, the difference was night and day. David can now enjoy his home without the constant intrusion of his neighbours’ loud music.
