Rogers calls for greater 'clout' for architects

Architects should be placed at the heart of all government decision-making when it comes to the built environment – that was the message from Richard Rogers yesterday (27 March) during the first architecture debate to be held at the House of Lords for four years. Click HERE to read more.

DOMESTIC SOUNDPROOFING SITE GOES LIVE

On March 20th we launched our Domestic website.

www.keepitquiet.co.uk

The site is loaded with free help articles on how to soundproof all types of noise problems from cars to washing machines and contains a broad range of soundproofing products designed for D.I.Y

“We have always provided the general public with products but have now designed a website specifically with the public in mind. The new website is a simplified version of our main site and is aimed at our customers who want to reduce unwanted noise from neighbours.”

Many people think that soundproofing is a costly exercise when in fact you can treat most surfaces from as little as £30 per square metre.

“When selling a property you now have to declare if you have noisy neighbours. Soundproofing therefore increases the properties value and makes it far more sellable if and when you want to move.” Describes Stephen Young, Office Manager.

New Quietfloor PLUS offers up to 50 % Sound Reduction !!!

We are about to launch our Quietfloor PLUS. It will weigh 15kg/m2 and be available in panels 1200 x 1000 x 15mm.

When laid on a floor this product will give a 5dB airborne improvement and 27dB reduction in impact noise. This is equal to more than a 50% reduction in sound loss when applied to timber suspended floors.

To pre order your FREE sample please email marketing@soundservice.co.uk with your details.
