Is External Wall Insulation Soundproofing

By



If you have a property around a noisy neighbourhood or you’re being disturbed by sounds coming from within the property, it would be ideal to go for External Wall Insulation (EWI). Soundproofing your property will reduce both internal and external noise pollution, leaving you with a more peaceful environment. EWI is exceptional for soundproofing. It improves the thermal performance of your property and can also depending on the material drastically improve the acoustics of your property.




The Harms of Noise Pollution

Noise pollution is an invisible threat. It cannot be seen, but it is present, nonetheless. Noise pollution impacts millions of people daily. The most common health problem it causes is Noise Induced Hearing Loss. Exposure to loud noise can also cause high blood pressure, heart disease, sleep disturbances, and stress. These health problems can affect all age groups, especially children. Many children who live near noisy airports or streets have been found to suffer from stress and other problems, such as impairments in memory, attention level, and reading skill.

 




External Wall Insulation

An external wall insulation has massive acoustic benefits. It works by fixing insulation to the outside of your property and then sealing the property with weatherproof renders. The open pore structure of stone wool allows sound waves to travel through fibres in the material as vibrations in trapped air molecules, eventually dispersing as heat energy. It’s ideal for reducing external noise.






Using other forms of Insulation

Do the likes of thermal insulation soundproof your property? The answer is simply no. Products used for thermal insulation (the likes of Kingspan or Celotex) aren’t as effective as first thought. To a certain extent by having the thermal material added it offers more mass than it had previously, but the mass gained is extremely negligible and wouldn’t aid in soundproofing the property.





Stone wall insulation

Stone wool insulation (SWI) is a brilliant enhancer for the acoustic performance levels of your property. SWI has made major changes to allow a performance ideal for soundproofing applications while not sacrificing the thermal insulating capabilities it possesses. Another benefit it contains is that the value of your property also rises as you install the insulation, especially when you’re in a noisy traffic centred environment it reduces the amount of noise that can penetrate into your property.
