Metropolitan Insulation provides the ultimate when it comes to soundproofing. For 30 years we have provided high performance solutions for domestic, commercial and industrial applications. Metropolitan Insulation Services offers extensive expertise in all aspects of soundproofing and covers all domestic, commercial and industrial needs. Noise pollution can be particularly problematic, even debilitating. Noisy neighbours, noisy co-habitants, the noise of footsteps above in apartment blocks can be a serious irritation. In a commercial sense, confidentiality breaches are often brought about through poor acoustics and industrial soundproofing is a necessity where the welfare of the work force is at risk.
At Metropolitan Insulation, we start by listening. Noise problems are rarely straightforward, and understanding where the sound is coming from is just as important as knowing how to stop it. With a solid understanding of how noise travels and why it becomes a problem, we’re able to recommend soundproofing solutions that actually make a difference.
Soundproofing can be installed within walls, ceilings and floors, depending on the type of noise involved. Sometimes it’s airborne sound moving between spaces, other times it’s impact noise that travels through the structure itself. In some situations, the aim is simply to reduce disturbance. In others, it’s about keeping sound contained or improving privacy. Each situation is a little different, but the same basic principles still apply.
We use a combination of established methods rather than a one-size-fits-all approach. This might include adding mass with acoustic plasterboard, building up multiple layers, using insulation materials such as mineral wool, or fitting impact barriers like resilient bars and isosonic hangers. The right mix depends on the building and the problem, but when it’s done properly, the improvement is usually very noticeable.
