Soundproofing and sound insulation have become significant topics for the building industry here in Ireland. Many new houses, offices and public facilities are designed to feature very poor sound insulation. When room soundproofing is not taken into account during the designing process, it can lead to poor acoustic parameters.
In Acoustic Materials, we have experience providing acoustic and sound insulation solutions for a wide range of spaces, from cinema halls, theatres, and factories to rehearsal rooms, recording studios and your residential home. We have developed several patented systems for every acoustic problem to face the industry’s unique challenges.
Our own Acoustic Materials Soundproofing Board, made out of recycled tetra-pak, is one of the most powerful soundproofing boards on the market.
Our partition wall soundproofing systems float on anti-vibration mounts to prevent flanking noise transmission from floors, walls or ceilings. They will eliminate any impact noises – jumping, footsteps, falling objects etc. – or airborne sounds, such as speech or TV, from transferring through to adjacent spaces.
According to the Irish building regulations, there are no requirements to implement any sound insulation materials for the internal walls. If you are building or renovating a house, you might consider including some soundproofing for a better living experience.
Our Acoustic Materials patented ceiling soundproofing system is suspended on anti-vibration hangers. The overall thickness of the system is between 10.2cm – 14.7cm, as the hangers are adjustable.
The main advantage of having a soundproof ceiling is that the noise won’t transmit into a room above and won’t come up from the room below. It also reduces impact noises – footsteps, falling objects – from a room above if you cannot access that floor.

You don’t have enough space to drop the ceiling? Get in touch; more ceiling soundproofing systems are available on request.
Our standard solution for wall soundproofing uses sustainable, high-performance materials. The first stage of successful proofing depends on the existing wall makeup. The majority of jobs we undertake have plasterboard fixed to the masonry wall with dot and dab. Removing any existing plasterboard and the bonding that holds them to the block is crucial. This is because sound can resonate between the block and plaster if it is not removed.
