Do you hear neighborhood dogs barking when you are indoors? Do trains passing by keep you awake at night? Does your neighbor's music drive you crazy? If these problems sound familiar than Technature Inc.'s line of isolation products can help.

Typically when dealing with exterior walls, sound travels through the wall along common studs to the interior wall. The most effective form of isolation is done by "floating" a mounted wall over the studs using steel channels and RSIC clips. The channels are attached to the RSIC clips on one side, and the other side is screwed into the stud. RSIC clips have neoprene isolator pads on them that allow them to absorb vibration. These neoprene pads allow the drywall to float freely, breaking the rigid connection.

By using this layering technique, sound isolation works by creating a space between the exterior wall and interior wall. There are no common studs for sound to travel along, stopping the transfer of sound waves. You can increase the isolation of the wall by using multiple layers of drywall and by creating a larger air space.

Another reason why sound isolation is the most effective soundproofing method is that the air space between the wall is increased. A vibration isolation material can be installed in this air space to trap the noise sound waves.

Also, sound isolation provides increased flexibility of the structure. Sound has a more difficult time traveling through flexible materials. Please see our recommended products or speak to a Technature representative for more assistance.
