ZvukoIzol VEM is produced on the market of building materials in two versions, which differ from each other by the presence of a self-adhesive layer. This sound-proof membrane consists of a low molecular weight binder and a polymer consisting of a spheroid structure. Experts recommend rolled "ZvukoIzol VEM" not only as a noise-canceling material, but also as a thermal protective lining for rooms with high demands for energy saving, as it is cold-resistant and retains heat well.

The following types of material rolls are produced (length x width x thickness):

• “Sound Insulation VEM 2” (“Standard”) - 2.5 mx 1.2 mx 2.5 mm;
• “Sound Insulation VEM 3” - 2.5 mx 1.2 mx 3 mm;

"ZvukoIzol VEM" is used for such structures:

• wall and ceiling structures in conjunction with sound-absorbing materials;
• roofing components of the roof, having a metal base;

If the scope of "ZvukoIzol VEM" are partitions, experts advise to increase the effectiveness of the result to combine it with substances having a fibrous base.

For good insulation, a larger material (by weight) must be replaced by a material with less weight.

Using an adhesive based on vinyl "ZvukoIzol VEM" is attached to the inner wall of the gypsum plasterboard. In this case, drywall should be placed horizontally on the dais, smearing it with glue on top. After some time, when it dries out, a sound-proofing material is installed on the sheet, an additional layer of glue is not required.

After you need to check that "Soundproofing VEM" firmly held on the drywall, and there were no cracks. Then the finished structure is mounted on the frame, like a normal sheet of drywall.

You should know that over such a sound-proof membrane should not be fixed tile or plaster.
