Sound Insulation: A Complete Guide for Quieter, Healthier Buildings
To protect from the harmful effects of noise by isolating the buildings, schools, workplaces, etc. and the environment from unwanted sounds; to create the necessary conditions of use by isolating recording studios, cinemas, concert halls, etc. from unwanted sounds; generator, hydrophore, calorifer, etc. The applications made in order to reduce the noise they emit to the environment by isolating noisy spaces are called “sound insulation”.
Sound insulation is an essential part of modern construction, helping create quieter, healthier, and more comfortable indoor environments. Whether it is a residential building, commercial property, industrial facility, or entertainment venue, the right insulation system minimizes unwanted noise while also contributing to thermal efficiency.
Sound insulation basically covers the measures to be taken to minimize the harmful effects of noise on humans.
Why Is Sound Insulation Important?
Noise is a collection of unwanted sounds that are irregular in structure, have different frequency components and are usually time-varying. Noise, which we briefly define as disturbing sound, is a natural consequence of urbanization today.
As cities grow, environmental noise becomes one of the leading factors affecting daily comfort and well-being. Traffic, industrial activities, aircraft, neighborhood conversations, and mechanical equipment all contribute to unwanted sound pollution.
Especially in areas where urbanization is unplanned, noise is among the factors that harm human health and comfort. Disturbing noises emitted by a factory in the vicinity, loud noise in the residential area around the airport, vendor voices, traffic noises, conversations from neighbors can be perceived by people as noise in different doses and can be disturbing.
Effective sound insulation helps reduce these disturbances while improving privacy, concentration, and overall quality of life.
Acoustic Regulation vs. Sound Insulation
Although often confused, acoustic regulation and sound insulation serve different purposes.
In order to provide a peaceful environment in buildings, it is necessary to combat noise. Two methods are mainly used to combat noise: acoustic regulation and sound insulation. Acoustic regulation is the regulation of the reflection time in the indoor environment. Sound insulation is the process of reducing the amount of sound transmitted through building elements.
A complete acoustic solution often combines both methods to achieve optimal indoor comfort.
Where Can Sound Insulation Felt Be Used?
Usage Characteristics of our Sound Insulation Felt
Our sound insulation felt is suitable for a wide variety of residential, commercial, industrial, and transportation applications.
Residential and Commercial Buildings
Thermal insulation material for a building (e.g. wall, ceiling, floor).
As heat and sound insulation material under screed and parquet in buildings.
Sound and thermal insulation filling material for wall cavities (e.g. between two plasterboards, between two bricks, between two aerated concrete, between two OSB boards, between two sheet metal, etc.).
These applications help reduce airborne noise while increasing thermal performance.
Studios, Theaters, and Public Spaces
Sound absorbing material for cinema, theater, gym, mosque, auditorium and studio.
Spaces that require controlled acoustics benefit from sound insulation materials that absorb unwanted echoes while reducing sound transmission.
Mechanical Rooms and Industrial Facilities
As sound and heat insulation material in mechanical rooms, HVAC air conditioners rooms.
As sound insulation material for road sound barriers.
Sound insulation felt helps minimize operational noise from equipment and infrastructure.
Vehicles and Metal Structures
As interior cladding material for house (wooden, concrete, steel construction, container), all kinds of vehicles (car, bus, caravan, truck, train).
As heat and sound insulation material for all buildings with metal roof and wall systems (e.g. poultry farms, hangars, garages, agricultural buildings, parking lots).
Its flexible structure makes it suitable for both fixed buildings and mobile applications.
Performance and Technical Advantages
Our sound insulation felt combines thermal insulation, acoustic performance, durability, and environmental safety in a single solution.
High Sound and Thermal Insulation Performance
Excellent thermal insulation value (0.034 W/mK).
High Sound Insulation Performance (It increases the sound insulation value of building elements, for example, 19 mm brick alone has 33 dB sound insulation performance, while 46 dB sound insulation value is provided with the brick glued with our 15 mm sound insulation felt).
Superior thermal insulation and sound damping/insulation capability.
These features help reduce heat loss while significantly improving indoor acoustic comfort.
Long-Term Durability
Maintain its properties, form and flexibility throughout the period of use.
Does not lose its technical properties as it does not absorb water.
It can be used outdoors. Because it is not affected by water.
Can be used in the range -50 + 150 °C.
Its water-resistant structure allows reliable performance even in demanding environmental conditions.
Easy Installation and Safe Application
Easy to transport and simple to apply.
Can be easily adhered to any surface.
No cavity in the wall – ensures seamless and permanent insulation.
The lightweight, flexible material speeds up installation while providing continuous insulation coverage.
Healthy, Safe, and Sustainable Material
Modern insulation materials should support both occupant health and environmental sustainability.
Indoor Air Quality and Health Benefits
No risk of skin irritation or respiratory problems.
Does not cause airborne particles.
Dust does not cause allergy itching or dust allergy affecting the health of workers during application.
It is odorless and contains no harmful volatile organic compounds (VOCs).
Absorbs bad odors. Improves indoor air quality of life.
These properties make it suitable for homes, schools, hospitals, and other sensitive indoor environments.
Fire Safety Performance
Fire retardant effect (self-extinguishing).
Does not emit toxic gases during combustion. Saves time in fire escape in buildings.
Fire-safe insulation materials contribute to safer building designs by reducing flame spread and limiting harmful emissions.
Environmentally Responsible Production
It does not contain binders, resins or chemicals. Because joining and thickness adjustment is made by ignition technique.
No chemicals or resin binders are used in production. Because the fibers are combined by needling method.
100% recyclable.
No waste is produced in production.
Suitable for use in Leed and Breams projects.
The production process supports sustainable construction practices while reducing environmental impact.
Certified Quality
OEKO-TEX 100 certified, which is also required for children’s clothes.
This certification demonstrates that the material meets strict standards for human health and product safety.
Why Choose Our Sound Insulation Felt?
Choosing the right sound insulation material means investing in long-term comfort, energy efficiency, and building performance. Our sound insulation provides reliable acoustic insulation, thermal protection, moisture resistance, fire-retardant properties, and environmentally responsible production in one versatile solution.
Suitable for use in all wooden, steel, concrete, metal structures, vehicles, trains, ships, trucks, caravans.
