Many users appreciated the quality of the product. Buyers like the high quality of the product, the absence of unpleasant smell. The product has no harmful effects on the human body and copes well with the tasks.

How to choose?

Improving the sound insulation of a dwelling is a difficult task, which will require appropriate knowledge and skills. First of all, you need to make a competent choice of products, after which you can begin to work in an apartment or house.

Many people choose thin material for decoration. Reducing thickness is a normal desire, but a quality sound insulation scheme should have a minimum thickness of 4 cm. The thicker the design, the better the sound insulation characteristics.

To eliminate household noise, a material whose thickness is 4–5 cm is suitable. Thicker products should be purchased if the noises are strong or neighbors use a stereo system.

Before buying noise insulation for walls, floor or ceiling, you will need to decide on what noise you need to work. There are two types of noise:

  • air;
  • drums;
  • structural.

To protect against airborne noise, products with a fibrous structure, low water absorption, resistance to burning, high strength and sound absorption should be purchased.

The remaining noise can eliminate materials with a low level of elasticity.

Experts recommend using three rules to create high-quality soundproofing in your room:

  • First required determine the source of noise. Based on this parameter, the choice of noise insulation material is made. To do this, examine all surfaces and check the noise level. Often in the elimination of problems with noise helps partial sound insulation of the room. To identify the source, you need to attach the ear to the surface and compare the noise level. The insulation must start from the noisiest place, after which the effect can be compared. If the noise level has gone down insufficiently, it will be necessary to lay the material on the second loudest fencing.
  • Specify the type of noise. This parameter allows you to make the right choice of material for sound insulation and system design. If loud conversations of neighbors, music and other voice sounds are heard in the apartment, protection from airborne noise will be required. It spreads through the fence that separates the apartment (floor, walls, ceiling).
  • If disturbance comes from the sound of steps on the upper floors. or the noise from falling things is shock noise.The sounds made by the elevator, air conditioning, pumping station - this is structural noise. The fight against sounds of this type is made in the zone of their formation. Such sounds are distributed in a vibrational way, so they penetrate the room from all sides. Therefore, you will need to carry out sound insulation of the room from the inside. The material is laid on all surfaces: floor, walls, ceiling.

MaxForte offers products that can be laid on the floor, walls and ceiling. For each type of surface there is its own collection, which has all the necessary qualities.

Installation Tips

Installation of the sound-proof material MaxForte differs in ease and speed. To facilitate the styling process, you should study the recommendations of experts on the example of working with products "Standard".

Laying products should be carried out only after a detailed inspection of the surface. To determine the presence of voids in the walls, you will need to resort to tapping. All cracks and other defects should be repaired with gypsum-type plaster or cement-sand mortar. Voids need to be filled with cement-sand mortar.Also required to inspect the joints. Gaps are not allowed.

Material laying consists of the following actions:

  • After preparing the base, proceed with the installation. The soft side of the roll should rest against the surface to be insulated.
  • The surface of the roll is fixed with a plastic fungus. Clamps should have a length of 70 mm. For each canvas will require three fungi.
  • Rolls are overlapped, 4–5 cm wide.
  • Formed joints must be connected with a mounting tape with reinforcement.
  • Then you can begin to fasten the guides through soundproofing. Details are fixed to the wall. As a profile material, you can use a metal frame.
  • Make sure that the parts do not firmly adhere to the surface and base.
  • Under the guide profile is the substrate of the damping tape.

In order for the soundproofing material to perform its tasks, the installation of the skin should be done according to the rules. Installation consists of the following steps:

  • A gypsum fiber sheet with a thickness of 10 mm is required. The installation step of 600 mm should be observed.
  • The seams that are present between the webs will need to be treated with silicone sealant. Make sure the seams do not match. They should spread at a distance of half the width of one web.
  • Joints are treated with putty.
  • During the installation of sound insulation, you will need to ensure that the paneling does not come into contact with the walls, the surface of the ceiling and the floor. This rule applies to profile guides.
  • When the skin is installed, the joints will need to be treated with non-drying type silicone sealant. Alternatively, polyurethane or acrylic sealants can be used. For this purpose it is not possible to use mounting foam.

Experts recommend combining the material "Standard" with "ECOplitoy."

The work also needs to follow the sequence of actions:

  • It is necessary to attach a product from the “Standard” collection to the rough base, after which you can proceed to the installation of a metal profile.
  • In the intervals between the metal profile will be located "ECOPlita."
  • Then is the flooring gypsum sheet, which is covered by GCR.
  • Stitches will also need to be filled.

These rules will help to correctly carry out the installation of products, as well as to avoid common mistakes.
