äänieristyslevy

An äänieristyslevy, commonly translated as soundproofing board or acoustic insulation board, is a construction material designed to reduce the transmission of sound between spaces. These boards are typically made from dense, fibrous, or composite materials that absorb and block sound waves. Their primary function is to prevent noise from passing through walls, floors, and ceilings.

The effectiveness of an äänieristyslevy depends on several factors, including its density, thickness, and the specific materials used in its construction. Some common materials include mineral wool, fiberglass, recycled paper products, and various types of foam. These materials work by either absorbing sound energy, converting it into heat, or by creating a mass that is difficult for sound waves to vibrate and pass through.

Äänieristyslevyt are used in a variety of applications, ranging from residential construction to commercial buildings and recording studios. In homes, they are often installed in party walls between apartments or in walls adjacent to noisy areas like utility rooms. In commercial settings, they contribute to creating quieter environments in offices, hotels, and hospitals. Their application can significantly improve acoustic comfort and privacy. Installation usually involves attaching the boards directly to existing structures or incorporating them into new wall or ceiling systems.
