Impact noise (footsteps\/high heels) is completely different from airborne noise (conversations or traffic):<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><strong>Airborne Noise:<\/strong> It travels through the air and enters through poorly sealed windows or thin partitions. The solution involves using <strong>rockwool<\/strong> and high-density plasterboard.<\/li>\n<li><strong>Impact Noise:<\/strong> It transmits directly through the building structure. The key here is using <strong>acoustic membranes<\/strong> underneath flooring or suspended ceilings with shock absorbers.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<h2 style=\"color: #007bff; margin-top: 45px; border-bottom: 1px solid #eee; padding-bottom: 10px;\">Technical solutions we apply<\/h2>\n<p>In our projects, we use state-of-the-art materials that guarantee a real and measurable decibel reduction:<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u2022 Acoustic Wall Linings (Drywall):<\/strong> We create a &#8220;double skin&#8221; on shared walls using rockwool panels and multi-insulating polyurethane sheets to block out sound.<\/p>\n<figure style=\"margin: 40px auto; text-align: center; display: block; max-width: 500px;\"><img decoding=\"async\" style=\"display: inline-block; max-width: 100%; height: auto; border-radius: 12px; box-shadow: rgba(0, 0, 0, 0.1) 0px 5px 20px;\" src=\"https:\/\/reformasbarcelona.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/insonorizar-una-pared-de-un-piso.gif\" alt=\"Acoustic insulation in comprehensive renovation Barcelona\" width=\"500\" height=\"439\"><figcaption style=\"margin-top: 15px; font-size: 14px; color: #666; font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;\">Use of acoustic wall linings in an Eixample historic estate<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>If you are simply looking to minimize voices, shouting, snoring, or crying from next door, lining just one side of the wall will be sufficient.<\/p>\n<div style=\"text-align: center; margin: 30px 0;\">\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"\" style=\"border-radius: 8px;\" src=\"https:\/\/reformasbarcelona.info\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/02\/Aislamiento-acu%CC%81stico-de-pared-276x300.png\" alt=\"Acoustic wall insulation diagram\" width=\"381\" height=\"414\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; color: #555; margin-top: 10px;\">The combination of a 15mm <strong>Pladur Phonic PPH plasterboard<\/strong> alongside high-density fibers ensures excellent results within a slim thickness of just 45mm.<\/p>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 20px; margin: 40px 0; font-family: 'Montserrat', sans-serif;\">\n<p><!-- SOLUCI\u00d3 1 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 280px; padding: 25px; background: #fdfdfd; border: 1px solid #e1e8ed; border-radius: 10px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: space-between;\">\n<div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #007bff; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\">Solution 1: High Efficiency (42-46dBA)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Solution thickness: 4.5 cm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 30mm U-channel + Omega furring channel<br \/>\n&#8211; Isover Arena Optimo insulation (15mm)<br \/>\n&#8211; Pladur Phonic PPH plasterboard (15mm)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SOLUCI\u00d3 2 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 280px; padding: 25px; background: #fdfdfd; border: 1px solid #e1e8ed; border-radius: 10px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: space-between;\">\n<div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #007bff; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\">Solution 2: Maximum Insulation (48-51dBA)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Solution thickness: 6.3 cm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 48mm metal studs and tracks<br \/>\n&#8211; Isover Acoustilaine P insulation (40mm)<br \/>\n&#8211; Pladur Phonic PPH plasterboard (15mm)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><!-- SOLUCI\u00d3 3: COPOPREN --><\/p>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 280px; padding: 25px; background: #fdfdfd; border: 1px solid #e1e8ed; border-radius: 10px; display: flex; flex-direction: column; justify-content: space-between;\">\n<div>\n<h4 style=\"color: #007bff; margin-top: 0; font-size: 18px;\">Solution 3: Multi-layer Comfort (50-53dBA)<\/h4>\n<p style=\"font-size: 16px; margin-bottom: 0; line-height: 1.6;\"><strong>Solution thickness: 6.3 cm<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>&#8211; 48mm metal studs and tracks<br \/>\n&#8211; Copopren 40mm acoustic membrane (glued)<br \/>\n&#8211; Pladur Phonic PPH plasterboard (15mm)<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: center; color: #333; margin: 50px 0 30px 0;\">Material Comparison (Approximate purchase prices)<\/h3>\n<div style=\"display: flex; flex-wrap: wrap; gap: 20px; justify-content: center; margin-bottom: 50px;\">\n<p><!-- PRODUCTO 1 --><\/p>\n<div style=\"flex: 1; min-width: 280px; max-width: 350px; text-align: center; background: #f9f9f9; padding: 20px; border-radius: 12px; border: 1px solid #eee;\">\n<div style=\"height: 180px; display: flex; align-items: center; justify-content: center;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone\" style=\"max-height: 100%; max-width: 100%; border-radius: 8px;\" title=\"Copopren 40.
