What is Sound Insulation?
Sound insulation is the process of blocking or reducing sound transmission between spaces by using dense, soundproofing materials. Unlike acoustic foam, which absorbs sound within a room, sound insulation materials prevent noise from traveling through walls, floors, and ceilings.
At Drayton Foam, we provide industry-leading sound insulation solutions designed to create quieter, more controlled environments in residential, commercial, and industrial spaces.
How Does Sound Insulation Work?
Sound insulation works by using high-density materials that either absorb, reflect, or dampen sound waves, reducing noise transfer. This is achieved through:
- Mass & Density – Heavy materials like mass-loaded vinyl (MLV) and soundproof panels block airborne noise.
- Damping – Specialised foams and composites reduce vibrations, preventing sound from passing through structures.
- Decoupling – Using resilient channels or floating floors to separate materials and stop sound vibrations from traveling.
Best Sound Insulation Materials
We offer a range of high-performance materials designed to tackle various noise challenges:
- Acoustic Foam Panels – Ideal for echo control and improving sound clarity within a space.
- Mass-Loaded Vinyl (MLV) – A dense, flexible barrier perfect for blocking airborne noise through walls and floors.
- Insulation Batts (Mineral Wool & Fibreglass) – Dual-purpose for thermal and sound insulation.
- Resilient Channels & Sound Isolation Clips – Reduce structural noise transfer in walls and ceilings.
