Solutions contre les bruits d’impacts

Call on our services and effectively isolate your commercial or residential buildings

Impact noises are sound disturbances coming from outside the residence or room, such as footsteps, the noise of falling objects, or sounds produced by moving furniture… These noise disturbances are unpleasant and represent a source of annoyance and discomfort in buildings, especially in environments where silence is important, such as apartments, hotels, office buildings, etc.

How to treat impact noises?

Fortunately, there are solutions to treat these acoustic nuisances. Ideally, their treatment requires intervention primarily at the levels of floors and ceilings, but in some cases also at the level of walls.

Here are the solutions that can be implemented:
• Cover the floor with carpets: Installing carpets can help attenuate impact noises by absorbing shocks. It is recommended to choose thick and high-quality carpets. This is the simplest and most superficial solution, but it is not the most effective.

• Install soundproofing material under the floors: Installing a sound insulation material under the floors can help absorb impact noises. Commonly used materials for this purpose include rockwool, polyurethane foam, and rubber.

• Lay an acoustic underlay under the floor covering: An acoustic underlay can be installed under floor coverings to absorb all impact noises.
• Double the walls and ceilings: Doubling the walls and ceilings with soundproofing materials such as rockwool or polyurethane foam can help reduce impact noises.
• Carry out a complete acoustic insulation of the building: this is done by placing insulating materials at the floor, wall, and ceiling levels, and by separating all elements of the structure.

Isotop, an easy-to-implement solution

Among the solutions against impact noises offered by ISOLMAX, there is Isotop which is a polyethylene foam membrane to be placed on the upper surface of the floor or under the tiles and screed. The installation of this product prevents the propagation of vibration waves.

Still, to dampen these vibrational waves and to achieve an optimal final result, we will isolate the screed from the vertical walls, the joineries, and the pipes using Isoplinthe, either plain or adhesive. This is a peripheral strip for the separation of floating or traditional screeds (vertical walls, joineries, pipes…).

How to choose the insulation that suits your building?

Treating impact noises is simple in principle, but reality is more complex. The choice of the appropriate solution, the quality of the insulating material, and the precision of its implementation are decisive in the effectiveness and durability of the final result. Hence, it is important to seek the expertise of a professional in soundproofing who can diagnose these noise disturbances and recommend a solution to remedy them.

Ideally, it is best to engage a company like ours that provides products against impact noises and possesses technical expertise.

A turnkey acoustic insulation solution

ISOLMAX provides a turnkey solution. Firstly, we will inspect the building in question to determine the location of acoustic bridges. This will enable us to propose the solution that best suits your needs and budget. Afterwards, we will establish a schedule to take charge of the installation of the product against impact noises. In fact, we will handle the project from A to Z and will provide not only the insulating material but also all the required materials for its installation.
