Sound Insulation Bathroom Stud Wall

Sound Insulation Bathroom Stud Wall

Typically, stud walls are built with physical separation of a room in mind. There is little consideration given to the acoustic performance of that wall. In many cases the wall will simply be constructed of 12.5mm plasterboard either side of a 50mm stud frame.
Situations where this may be a problem is when that separation is between two bedrooms or a bedroom and a bathroom. Post fitting of soundproofing should make it  impossible to discern loud conversation.

We offer two methods for upgrading a stud wall

Method 1

For a fast and effective method of upgrading a poorly soundproofed stud wall you can glue our SM20 panels direct to the face of the wall.  Either side can be chosen. Over the top of this can be added a double layer of acoustic plasterboard. If space is an issue then just choose one layer of acoustic plasterboard. This will dramatically improve the performance of the stud wall. Choose the calculator to the right "SM20 Solution"

If using only one layer of acoustic plasterboard we recommend 15mm.

Method 2

To upgrade and soundproof the wall you can also remove the original plasterboard from one of the faces of the stud wall. Once removed you will infill with the appropriate thickness of acoustic mineral wool (choose 75mm wool for a 75mm wall) We then strongly recommend adding the 16mm deep resilient bars to that wall. Finish the solution with two layers of 12.5mm acoustic plasterboard. The range of calculators to the right simply reflect different size stud walls and different material options.

Both of these methods will drastically improve the acoustic performance of your wall.  All of our solutions involve the use  acoustic plasterboard. We then offer the addition of a tecsound 50 upgrade or for those who want maximum performance the SBx board. An award winning German designed soundproofing board.

Don't forget to soundproof your plug sockets too. You can find out more inthis article.

Understanding Performance

The base case scenario for a single stud wall is apporoximately 31dB this assumes no mineral wool and 12.5mm wall plasterboard (Wall board) fixed direct to the stud.
