EXTREME #soundproof with #Sonopan. In this video we will be sound proofing to the extreme, installing Sonopan sound insulation onto existing walls to try and eliminate some of the noise transfer between units.
Spray in #insulstion + Sonopan sound board + Resilient bar + 5/8" drywall

Fantastic video and nice work! Masks are always a good idea with any dust. We don't claim that the SONOpan is harmless, there are no glues or chemicals in it. The panels are made from 100% recycled wood with natural binders and food grade colour but like you said, no dust is good to breath in.

You are absolutely correct. I should have clarified that the supplier we purchased it from mentioned it was harm-less, not Sonopan directly. Sorry for the miss communication in the video. That said, I am overly impressed with the product and it’s STC rating, it made a HUGE difference in the sound transfer through this unit. Great product that we will continue to use and promote to our clients. Thanks for the visit

This was really cool to see beginning to end! Also very cool to see how you soundproofed the ceiling while keeping the first layer of drywall!! 🎉 one thing I noticed, was the resilient channels seemed slightly bent, I’m guessing that’s acceptable but musta been tricky getting the drywall and screws to only penetrate the channel and not into the sonoboard? Yeah? 🎉

What length of screws did you use to install the drywall into the RC? We found that 1" screws for the 5/8 drywall was still making slight contact with the sonopan, wrecking the decoupling effort. But I cannot find 7/8" drywall screws anywhere!

lots of hard work but i heard you should install resilient channel directly on the floor joists for it to work effectively.
@DIYBuilt
@DIYBuilt Жыл бұрын
I’m not sure I agree totally with that statement. Resilient channel essentially helps to create an air space between materials, whether that space is between a joist and drywall or in our situation sound board and drywall, I don’t think it matters. In both applications the air space to dampen sound has been accomplished. I appreciate your feedback. Thanks

Thanks, it turned out great and made a huge impact on the sound transfer. As for costs, not including the equipment rentals. For the blown in insulation it was about $1.10/sqft, the Sonopan board was $1.00/sqft and resilient sound-bar with another layer of 5/8” drywall was another $1.25/sqft. Total all in, not including labor was $3.35 per sqft. Hope that helps, thanks for the visit, cheers!

@@DIYBuilt did the blow in insulation and the other parts help with footfall at all? We likely won't add extra layers as we already have a double ceiling, but we live in a duplex where the upstairs tenant is a bit heavy footed, and so we've thought of at least trying blow insulation. We're lucky too, because the second ceiling is all a single cavity, not joists to work around!

@@DIYBuilt should there be a small gap between the sonopan and the walls? ive heard there should be a gap between the drywall and the walls for good decoupling then filling the gaps with green glue sealant but cant seem to find a video that talks about if there should alo be a gap between the walls and sonopan
@DIYBuilt
@DIYBuilt Жыл бұрын
@@wiiiz3 I would say no gap between sonopan and wall, using green glue caulking is something I would recommend and maintaining a gap by using rez bar is the best way to go. The client in this video was very specific in the way he wanted it done but if it were up to me I would have not dense packed the joists space as much as we did. Sound transfer resonates through materials, so if you have more air space between materials is probably a better way to go

if I screw Sonopan right to the Floor joist then add Resilent Channel and Drywall, wouldn't the Sono be coupled to the floor joist, making the RC Less effective?
@DIYBuilt

It might be a little less effective however it’s still would have some level of sound protection due to the density of the Sonopan board. You might want to contact Sonopan directly for a more concrete answer.

@DIYBuilt

@@22rsx because I think safe and sound would provide enough density within the stud cavities by itself. Sound travels by vibration through materials so with the safe and sound insulation you will have already affectively created the density you need. Where the true sound protection comes from will be the air space that is created between the stud and the drywall via the resilient channel.

That was painful to watch. You should have just torn out the pre-existing drywall, put batt insulation in, attached your channels, then the sonopan, then the drywall with green goo between 2 layers. What you accidently did was create a triple leaf effect with the second air gap your made. Small air spaces transmit sound very well and can resonate with the layers below. You also didn't seal up around the light fixtures so sound is leaking through there too.

I agree with you on all your points, admittedly I didn’t know about green glue but after reading up on it, it sounds like the right way to go. This was one of those jobs where the customer was adamant about doing it his way, in fact I did suggest some of the same ideas you mentioned but in the end, the customer is always right. Thanks for the tips, appreciate your insight.
