Sound installation is an under-appreciated, yet pivotal ingredient aspect of any building project. Anyone that has ever refurbished, renovated or constructed a home or commercial premises should consider how best to insulate the building against the distraction of sound.

For those that are unsure of why exactly insulating the premises is so important should need only read these seven reasons why installing sound installation is essential.

Close Proximity to Neighbours

One of the principal causes of noise pollution can be your neighbours. This is especially true of built-up urban areas. Insulating your home against the threat of noise may well be one investment that you won’t regret.

UK Building Regulations

Anyone considering erecting a home of their own design should be aware of UK Building Regulations. These specify just how much noise is permitted, and advise you of the right acoustic soundproofing precautions that are not only suitable, but necessary.

Health and Safety

It’s paramount that people aren’t subjected to a consistent barrage of noise. Research has shown that a consistent exposure to loud noise can have a detrimental effect on your health. This is one reason why soundproofing your home is a shrewd investment.

Commercial and Public Properties

Noise emitted from commercial and public properties will be of a higher decibel level than residential homes. For this reason it’s paramount that appropriate precautions are taken to ensure that each room within the building, and any surrounding properties, aren’t subjected to any excessive noise.

Anyone involved in the construction of property should be aware of noise levels and how noise travels. If you have a design that would allow for sound to travel effectively, make sure that you also take appropriate soundproofing measures.
