These Days – Home Cinemas Are Very Popular!
The proliferation and reduction of cost in home cinema and surround sound music systems, has led to a significant increase in noise transfer and reverberation levels within homes that don’t have areas that are purpose built for this reason.
Ideally, The option to design homes with acoustic comfort zones to minimise noise and echo levels should be taken prior to construction commencing. Installing these systems after construction can be impractical and prove expensive.
Three steps to select the best acoustic system to reduce noise in the home:
1. Identify the activities that will occur in different parts of the home to determine areas that require a higher level of noise control.
2. If the home is multi-level, think about whether impact noise from upstairs will be a problem for downstairs area (and vice versa).
3. Select a wall and ceiling system based on the desired level of noise and acoustic control.
Axon Plastering supplys a number of wall and ceiling solutions to minimise and control noise levels in the home.
Limit transfer of sound between rooms by using Knauff’s “SoundShield”, a plasterboard with enhanced sound insulation qualities.
Control and reduce echo within spaces with Knauff’s “Designpanel”, a high performance perforated plasterboard to absorb sound.
