Acoustic insulation experts Hush provide all the information and products you need in order to make your home or construction project quieter. With many years experience of supplying soundproofing products to the construction industry and for domestic use, Hush knows all about making buildings quieter.

If you're in the construction industry, you'll already know the importance of acoustic insulation and the impact that sound can have on neighbouring rooms and buildings. If you're thinking about sound insulation for your home, perhaps because you're setting up a home cinema, or play a musical instrument, or are fed up of hearing your children's or neighbour's music, then you'll want to make sure that you use the right acoustic insulation products. Hush can help you to choose the right products. This will ensure you know that you have the best possible acoustic insulation.

New builds and renovation projects often have different acoustic insulation requirements, so you'll need to know that you're buying the right acoustic insulation. Some sound insulation products are suitable for both new builds and refurbishments, whilst others are specific. If you're not sure what you need, then Hush can help you.

It's essential to ensure that your construction project meets the relevant building regulations concerning sound. The building regulations Approved Document E sets out the requirements for acoustic insulation, so you can find out in advance what criteria you need to meet before your project can be approved.

If you don't want to be subjected to sound testing then you can use acoustic insulation products that meet the Robust Details specification. These products meet or exceed the relevant building regulations, so are not subject to testing. If you're involved in building new houses, or an office block, or hotel, then you might want to consider robust details.

Acoustic flooring is one of the main ways to make a room quieter, but you'll need to know exactly what sort of noise you're trying to get rid of and in which room. The acoustic insulation that works well to lessen the effects of a spinning washing machine might not be suitable for making your children's music quieter in their bedrooms.

No matter what stage your project is at, or your experience, we can provide you with everything you need when it comes to sound insulation. Why not get the other acoustic insulation products and advice from Hush today?
