The use of sound insulation "Shumanet"

Making your home is not only comfortable, but also quiet. It is only necessary to ensure good sound insulation of the room. During the construction process, little attention is paid to this issue, which is why noises from the street or from neighbors are often heard in the apartments. To reliably protect the house from extraneous sounds, it is not enough to install high-quality double-glazed windows. The best solution is insulation of walls, ceilings and floors. For this purpose, the newest sound absorbing materials "Schumanet" were developed and manufactured.

"Schumanet" - an innovative sound-proof products Acoustic Group, designed to reduce the frequency and amplitude of percussion noise. Material is produced in the form of plates or rolls. The main raw material used in its production is mineral wool or basalt. Sound absorbing plates have a small mass, so that they do not weigh down the building structure.

"Shumanet" is designed to improve sound insulation:

• apartments;
• office space;
• private buildings;
• child care facilities;
• vacation spots.

Due to the porous structure, the material significantly reduces the performance of any noise. "Shumanet" is designed to be installed between the bearing parts of the building and its lining. It is an ideal solution for residential or commercial type frame structures.

Noise Isolation "Schumanet" - one of the best materials for acoustic and consumer properties. According to customer reviews, soundproof plates reliably protect the room from extraneous sounds. They also have stable geometric dimensions and a uniform structure. "Shumanet" resistant to power loads, high humidity, temperature extremes. Other advantages of the material include:

• small thickness and light weight;
• high quality of finished products, ensured by continuous testing of the properties of the input raw materials and finished goods;
• high sound and waterproofing performance;

• eliminating the risk of shrinkage after installation;
• ecological purity;
• resistance to aggressive chemicals;
• possibility of installation on any types of surfaces;
• convenient packing of the material, providing ease of transportation and storage;
• Long service life and high wear resistance.

However, this material has some disadvantages. Its disadvantages include complex cutting and the possibility of mounting only at positive temperatures. By cons also include the mandatory compliance with certain storage conditions.

"Shumanet" - a group of sound-proof materials, differing from each other in technical characteristics and performance characteristics. Different materials are used for the production of various types of products, special production technologies are applied. One of the earliest and most inexpensive sound-proof materials is the “Schumanet 100”.

The basis of the canvas is fiberglass, treated on one side with a bitumen-polymer composition. This is a roll product, which is most often used for arranging interfloor overlappings. Later, the manufacturer created a few more soundproofing products developed on the basis of "Schumanet-100". These include several groups of goods.

• Shumanet 100 Kombi. This material is obtained by double-sided processing of fiberglass panels with a bitumen-polymer composition. In addition, one of the parties is finished with a specialized sound-proofing material, which increases the suppression of noise. "Kombi 100" is designed not only to increase the sound insulation of the room, but also to protect it from moisture.
• "Shumanet 100 Hydro." This is a roll product, which consists of two types of different layers: fiberglass and damping panel. In addition to noise reduction, it performs the function of waterproofing.
• "Schumanet 100 Super." This is an innovative soundproofing product, designed for objects with a level of comfort A class. Often it is used for arranging floating floor systems.

Also, the manufacturer produces tile materials. The most popular include three types.

• BM It has the best acoustic properties. The product is made from mineral wool by hydrophobization. This is a base material with a sound absorption coefficient of 0.8.
• ECO. These are sound-absorbing plates, the production of which uses staple fiberglass and acrylic resins. In the manufacture of such products are not used harmful substances.
• Sc neo. This is an analogue of "Schumann ECO." The difference between these two materials lies in the presence on one side of the IC NEO SC. Due to this feature, the plates are becoming stronger.

Soundproofing "Shumanet" is available in the form of plates or rolls. Depending on the type of material, the panels may have a length of 1.2 m and a width of 0.6 m. Their thickness is fixed. It is 50 mm. Products in rolls have a length of 10 to 15 meters, a width of 1 meter and different thickness (from 3 to 5 mm). Products-plates are released in packs of 4 pieces each.

Also, "Schumanet" has the following characteristics (depending on the variety):

• surface density - from 1.37 kg / m2;
• weight - from 19 to 34 kg;
• tensile strength - from 170 to 270 N;
• absolute waterproofness of the material with the function of waterproofing - not less than two hours when exposed to a pressure of 0.49 MPa (water absorption during the day does not exceed 2%);
• installation temperature - not less than 0 degrees;
• The average sound absorption coefficient is 0.85.

When choosing a soundproof material, it is often necessary to compare technical parameters, cost and other indicators of products. For example, buyers often wonder about what is best - roll or tile materials. It should be noted that products in rolls are best suited for the floor. And if necessary, sound insulation wall or ceiling surface is the ideal solution would be to purchase panels.

If you need to soundproof a small office, studio or small room, it is recommended to opt for “Schumanet super.” It is more expensive than analogs, but with the smallest thickness it has better noise insulation properties. Due to the fact that the material is quite thin, such sound insulation does not “steal” the useful space of objects of small area.

If the task is to ensure the sound insulation of the floor in the construction of floating screeds, the best solution would be to buy "Schumanet 100 Hydro." This material, as well as Kombi, can solve the issues of waterproofing the floor. Thus, choosing a material, first of all it is necessary to pay attention to its purpose and operating conditions.

The installation of the soundproofing material “Shumanet” is a matter that can be handled not only by a professional builder, but also by a “home” master. It should be noted that the installation of roll material is different from the laying of panels.

Features of the installation of rolls:

• laying is made under the screed with glass fiber down (the bitumen surface must “look” at the ceiling);
• roll should be rolled on the floor with an overlap of 20 cm;
• Joints need to glue with adhesive tape.

Features of laying plates:

• the panels are mounted inside the partition wall, in the pier walls or in the construction of stretch ceilings (between the suspended part and the floor slab);
• it is important that the plates fit snugly to a horizontal or vertical surface;
• for fixing the panels it is necessary to use fasteners designed for the installation of heat-insulating plates;
• to prevent the emission of particles of the material, you should wrap each canvas with soundproof spunbond.

In order to reduce the cost of soundproofing of the premises, the installation of “Schumanet” can be done independently, without hired craftsmen. However, in order to properly perform the installation and to prevent oversights during the work, you should familiarize yourself with the recommendations of professional builders:

• Before laying, the material should be allowed to rest in the room for at least a day;
• Works should be performed at temperatures above 0 degrees and relative air humidity less than 65%;

• it is necessary to lay the material on the prepared surface: smooth, clean and dry (for leveling the base, it is recommended to use specialized dry building mixtures);
• rolled material always overlaps;
• in order to ensure the circulation of moisture in the room, it is necessary to leave air gaps along the entire perimeter of the object (at least 10 mm);
• cutting of the material should be carried out with the help of a construction cutter according to previously planned markings.

Soundproofing products "Shumanet" - an affordable and effective solution that is suitable for most construction projects. Due to the large selection of products in this category, you can easily choose the material in accordance with the parameters of the object and the requirements of the buyer to the cost and performance of the product.
