Bridge House Aldershot

6 – Soundproofing

Because of the changes to the flat there are now two party walls. These need soundproofing.

Used in the process were:

16 meters of timber
3 sheets of plasterboard
200 screws
8 slabs of rockwool insulation
22 sheets of high-density foam
14 sheets of soundboard
20 tins of adhesive
9 tubes of sealant

First layer of high density foam over the old kitchen door.

Wall complete. Don’t need to go right to the top as the kitchen ceiling is a lot lower

First layer of soundboard – needs 24 hours for the glue to cure

Started work on the next wall while the glue is curing in the lounge. Chap on the ladder is the electrician installing the new consumer unit.

New floorboards

Filling in the wall

New consumer unit and lots of sound deadening foam

First layer of soundboard and prepping the next sheet. Each one weighs 37kg.

Consumer unit boxed in

First layer complete. The prop is holding the board in place because the wall isn’t flat.

Light switch isn’t fitted because the wall needs plastering

Second layer complete

Gaps filled with acoustic sealant

Sealant doesn’t have to be smooth as a plaster skim will cover everything.
