TECSOUND: SOUNDPROOFING MADE EASY

According to findings by the World Health Organisation (WHO), air pollution is the biggest environmental cause of health problems, closely followed by noise pollution. Therefore, it is crucial to carefully soundproof your project. In this article, we zoom in on TECSOUND, one of the most popular materials in our wide range of acoustic insulation materials. This bitumen-free plastic membrane drastically improves the acoustic insulation of hotels, offices, apartment blocks and other buildings. TECSOUND HARDLY TAKES UP ANY SPACE Combining viscoelasticity with high density, TECSOUND is an excellent solution for soundproofing various construction elements without increasing their thickness. Thanks to its mass, TECSOUND is indispensable in projects where space is scarce. The membrane is flexible and easy to handle and apply, even at low temperatures. You can effortlessly install TECSOUND in areas that are difficult to reach or on uneven surfaces. TECSOUND is often used for soundproofing partition walls with low surface mass, suspended ceilings, lightweight roofs and drainpipes. HOW TO INSTALL TECSOUND? TECSOUND is mainly used between two plasterboard panels in ceilings and partition walls, retention walls and other lightweight walls. To prevent thickening, the membrane is placed with butt joints only (i.e., without any overlaps). The membrane comes with self-adhesive backing, which is the most popular option for wall and ceiling soundproofing. The protective film simply peels off, and the backing provides a firm grip to any substrate including bare brick, plasterboard, or metal. TECSOUND is also supplied in a plain version if mechanical fixing is required. Openings have a negative effect on noise reduction capacity. You can use TECSOUND S50 BAND to seal the joints and make sure that the seams fit tightly. Made of TECSOUND membrane, the tape is equally easy to use. TECSOUND IN LIGHTWEIGHT ROOF CONSTRUCTIONS TECSOUND is also popular in lightweight metal roof applications in all construction sectors, but also in tertiary sector projects, where steel decks are rapidly gaining popularity. Combined with this substrate, TECSOUND reduces impact noise (cause by wind, hail, or rain) as well as airborne noise (e.g., traffic noise, especially the sound of planes flying overhead).
