SOUNDPROOFING OF STRETCH CEILING WITH MAXFORTE SOUNDPRO

MAXFORTE SoundFlex is a new generation resilient construction foam specially designed for soundproofing. This product features high density and low expansion. SoundFlex foam is highly resilient, stretchable and capable to restore the original shape after being compressed. Thanks to all these, the excellent vibroacoustic properties of MaxForte SoundFlex are ensured! This product acts as a damping layer and, due to this, significantly reduces the vibration load between the building structures.

Reliable floor soundproofing for apartments and offices. Using MaxForte-SoundPRO under the screed makes possible to cut off completely both the airborne noises (like voices, shouts, dogs barking) and the impact noises (like tramping and falling objects). The advantage of this soundproofing option is a small thickness which is particularly important for low ceiling bearing-wall houses. MaxForte-SoundPRO rolls are easy to lay or raise to the walls, and this allows to accelerate the works. Reducing the noise level to 34 dB ensures the complete isolation from the noise by the neighbors from below.

Basic soundproofing of apartment floors. MaxForte-ShumoIzol rolls should be spread over a pre-leveled floor and then covered with two layers of gypsum plasterboard sheets. For a dry screed, the plywood sheets or the ready-made components of KNAUF-Superpol system can also be used. The advantages of this option are the fast mounting (no wet works required) and the small thickness of the whole structure which is particularly important for low ceiling bearing-wall houses. This design provides the impact noise reduction of as down as 20 dB!

Ideal for small apartments in new buildings. The wall soundproofing design is identical to the previous option, but with addition of thin 60/27 mm KNAUF profile for attachment of gypsum plasterboard and drywall sheets. Using the KNAUF profile allows to eliminate immediately all typical for new buildings irregularities and height discontinuities of the walls, and significantly save on the levelling of the walls. After mounting of sound insulation you will immediately get a smooth surface. In addition, the works on electricity and the electrical outlets are simplified: no grooves in the walls will be needed since the wiring will pass inside the frame and the outlet boxes will be cut into the drywall. High strength, small thickness and excellent sound insulation made this option the most popular among the experts and the customers.

The best option for small rooms. The basis of the structure are the 80 kg/m³ MaxForte-ECOslab providing sound absorption and the 60/27 mm KNAUF profile providing rigidity and high load capacity. Any items, including kitchen accessories, can be hung on the cladding. In addition, the wall will be immediately smooth after soundproofing and ready for finishing; no additional levelling should be required. The structure is designed for complete isolation against domestic noises (voices, TV, dogs barking). Noise reduction down to 14 dB.

The thinnest sound insulation option. Ideal for those who have every inch counted. Sound absorption in the structure is performed by MaxForte-SoundPRO – a composite material of a new generation, only 12 mm in thickness. Simple and quick mounting without the use of profiles will allow you to make the sound insulation yourself without engaging the workers. Noise reduction in 3 times (9-11 dB).

The most proven sound insulation option used in apartments. The vibration isolation is ensured by special MaxForte PRO series vibration insulating hangers. The sound is absorbed by the MaxForte-ECOslab or EcoAcoustic sound-absorbing slabs. The sound insulation of the ceiling meets the standard KNAUF designs, so it can be mounted by any workers engaged in repair of apartments. Both airborne and impact noises will be removed with the same efficiency (with noise reduction down to 20 dB)!
