Noise insulation solution for self-build projects

JC Wilkins website explains how noise within a building can be directly related to the method and quality of construction.

Anyone involved in a self-build or home renovation project can now get all the advice they require on noise insulation from a website launched by the UK's leading provider of acoustic solutions.

The site includes a beginner's guide to soundproofing which provides home builders with a general introduction to the type of information they need to prevent noise problems on their project.

"Because we are surrounded by noise every day we tend to try and ignore it," says JC Wilkins' Sales and Marketing Director Mark Wilkins.

"That can lead people who are building or renovating a property to forget the noise considerations at the planning stage, and leaving it too late can then be really detrimental to the final results".

The JC Wilkins website explains how noise within a building can be directly related to the method and quality of construction.

It also outlines noise control techniques such as increasing the mass of floors and walls, and the effects of adding extra layers of acoustic insulation to the structure.

The differences between airborne and impact noise are also covered, and the site outlines typical noise problem scenarios in different types of buildings and explains how they can be tackled.

JC Wilkins is ideally placed to provide this type of information.

Its product range includes everything from acoustic decks, tiles and isolating strips through to acoustic matting underlays, battens and leveling pods.

All are easily available via a 24-hour nationwide delivery service and details of each all can be found on the website.

Visitors can also download technical data sheets and product installation guides, access guidance on Building Regulations or request product samples via the site.
