Pipes are an integral part of your home which are kept hidden behind the ceilings and walls; away from the living spaces.
That said, these ceilings and walls provide inadequate soundproofing.
It is why top pipe lagging specialists operating in Melbourne recommends lagging your pipes during the installation of the pipelines or during the construction of the building, to avoid any future noisy pipe inconvenience.
However, if you do come across any accessible or exposed pipe (particularly copper and polyvinyl (PVC) piping known to produce unwanted commotion) look to soundproof it via professional help.
(Keeping This In Mind…)
Are you building a new 2-storey home?
If so, then there is one aspect which you must look into during its construction stage – the issue of noise!
As you may know; modern homes featuring lightweight constructions and open floor plans tend to be a tad noisy.
If this wasn’t enough, your plumbing pipes too can potentially lead to loud gurgling/banging/hammering sounds.
Left unchecked, the intensity of the noises increases and eventually at some point becomes insufferable.
Is There Is An Effective Solution To Such Booming Pipe Nuisances…?
Fortunately, there is a professional solution to prevent noisy pipes from disrupting the peace and serenity of your home environment.
That durable, lasting and effective solution is known as Acoustic pipe lagging.
