Party Wall Soundproofing
What happens if you have two living areas, like a main living room and a toy/play room or a home theatre, that conflict with each other when it comes to noise? Perhaps you’d like to entertain your friends in one room while the kids play together in another but the sound is just too much to make adult conversation feasible. It’s time to consider soundproofing the wall between the two living areas.
Soundproofing your “party wall” is relatively simple. You’ll want to install furring strips and mass loaded vinyl over the existing drywall. Fill the overlapping seams with acoustical caulk and then seal over the top with some sort of gasket tape. Cover the completed project with a second layer of drywall, repaint, and your work is complete!
The project may take a bit of time and effort but shouldn’t be very difficult. In the end it will be worth it to be able to entertain your friends and family in a peaceful atmosphere!
