Acoustic Supplies Can Help Provide You With A Barrier From Noise

Acoustic Supplies Can Help Provide You with an Effective Noise Barrier

When we first established JCW Acoustic Supplies over 15 years ago, our mission was simple: to offer reliable and practical solutions to the everyday problem of unwanted noise. Since then, we’ve grown into one of the UK’s leading experts in acoustic insulation and noise barriers, serving homeowners, businesses, and construction professionals across a wide range of environments.

We understand that excess noise can seriously disrupt your quality of life, whether it’s coming from traffic outside your window, noisy neighbours, or internal disturbances between rooms or floors. That’s why we supply a comprehensive range of soundproofing products – all designed to create a more peaceful and comfortable space, wherever you are.

Identifying the Source of Noise

Before investing in any noise barrier, the first step is to properly assess where the sound is coming from. Unwanted noise can find its way into a room through the smallest gaps and weakest structural points – including windows, doors, walls, ceilings, and floors. Take a walk around your space and inspect these areas carefully:

• Are there visible gaps or cracks around your windows or doors?
• Do certain walls seem to carry more noise from outside or adjacent rooms?
• Are you hearing footsteps or voices from upstairs or next door?

Once you’ve identified the primary sources of noise, you’ll be in a much better position to choose the most effective acoustic solution.

Windows and Doors: Common Noise Entry Points

If your windows are older or single glazed, they are likely letting in a significant amount of external sound. Upgrading to double glazing is a straightforward way to introduce a basic but effective noise barrier. Double-glazed units feature two panes of glass with a layer of air or gas between them, which helps dampen sound vibrations before they enter your home.

Likewise, poorly fitted doors with gaps around the frame can be a serious weak point in your soundproofing. Our acoustic doors are specifically engineered to reduce sound transmission and come with seals and insulation that prevent noise leakage.

Wall Soundproofing Solutions

If you’ve discovered that your walls are the main culprit, don’t worry – we have a number of high-performance products that can serve as effective noise barriers. In many homes, especially older or poorly built ones, internal and external walls may lack the density required to stop sound.

Our soundproof wall panels and acoustic barrier mats can be easily installed over existing walls. These materials are designed to absorb and block airborne noise, helping to reduce sound transfer between rooms or from the outdoors. Products such as JCW Silent Board offer an ideal balance of thickness, mass, and acoustic performance, and can also be applied to ceilings where overhead noise is an issue.

Floor Soundproofing Options

Hard surfaces like tiled or laminate flooring are notorious for allowing sound to bounce around a room and transmit to other floors. If you’re experiencing noise from above or below, consider switching to acoustic carpets or underlays. These materials act as soft noise barriers, dampening impact and airborne sound. They also add a layer of comfort and insulation, making them a great all-round improvement to your home.
