Tecsound 50 Self Adhesive
This high performance acoustic membrane is an excellent product for soundproofing a cupboard. It’s easy to use and provides superior sound insulation.
First, clean the surface of the cupboard to ensure that it is free of dust and debris. Next, measure the surface area of the cupboard and cut the Tecsound 50 to the appropriate size. Peel the backing off the self adhesive and carefully apply it to the cupboard. Make sure to smooth out any creases or wrinkles to ensure a proper seal. Finally, use a roller or a straight edge to firmly press the Tecsound 50 into the cupboard, providing the best soundproofing effect.
With Tecsound 50 Self Adhesive, your cupboard will be soundproofed in no time!
SBX Boards
With SBX Boards, you can easily soundproof a cupboard and create a peaceful and quiet environment.
Firstly, measure the interior dimensions of the cupboard and cut the boards to size. You will need to seal the cut edges using the SBx tape.
Next, use a drill to create the necessary holes, and secure the SBX Boards into the cupboard with screws. Ensure that the SBX Boards are firmly attached to the cupboard and that all gaps and joins are sealed using acoustic sealant.
This will provide the best soundproofing solution and minimize sound transfer.
6mm Acoustic Rubber Underlay
An Acoustic Rubber Underlay is an ideal solution for soundproofing cupboards. It is easy to install as it is supplied in roll form and can be cut to fit any size of cupboard.
First, measure the inside of the cupboard and cut the underlay to fit the dimensions. Then, place the underlay on the floor of the cupboard and line up the edges so they are flush against the walls. Finally, secure the underlay in place with staples, nails, or glue. This will help to reduce the reverberation and sound transmission within the cupboard, creating a more peaceful and quiet environment.
With 6mm Acoustic Rubber Underlay, you can rest assured that your cupboard is soundproofed for years to come.

Does cupboard soundproofing make a difference?
Most cupboards have no soundproofing, meaning that we can hear the boilers, water storage and other noises from inside.
Fortunately, soundproofing cupboards is possible and choosing the right one for your noise levels and type is key. Even basic soundproofing can have a big impact, reducing the noise from within the cupboard. Additionally, some soundproofing can also add insulating properties, which is useful during the colder months.
If you’re looking for a quick and easy DIY project, there are some soundproofing materials you can buy and install yourself which can make a drastic difference in the soundproofing of your cupboard.
How to Soundproof Your Cupboard
Cupboards might not seem like the first place you'd think to soundproof, but they can be a major source of noise problems. Whether you're dealing with noisy pipes, an electrical cabinet, or turning a cupboard into a small recording space, proper soundproofing can make a big difference.
Why Soundproof a Cupboard?
Reduce Appliance or Utility Noise – Block out noise from pipes, meters, or electrical panels.
Improve Privacy – Minimise sound from a storage space in a shared home or office.
Enhance a Recording Space – Create a quiet environment for a small vocal booth or workspace.
Prevent Noise Transfer – Stop sounds from escaping into other rooms.
Step-by-Step Guide to Soundproofing Your Cupboard
1. Soundproof the Walls and Ceiling
Apply Tecsound 50 Self-Adhesive Membrane
Stick directly onto the cupboard walls and ceiling.
Helps reduce airborne noise and vibrations.
Easy to install and doesn't add much weight.
Install Rockwool RW5 Acoustic Wool
Cut the Rockwool to fit inside the cupboard walls and ceiling.
Absorbs sound and prevents noise from passing through.
Secure it in place before covering with panels.
Fix SBX Boards Over the Walls and Ceiling
SBX boards add mass, reducing sound transmission.
Install over the Tecsound and Rockwool for maximum effectiveness.
2. Soundproof the Floor
Lay 6mm Acoustic Rubber Underlay
Place it under your chosen flooring for noise reduction.
Works well for both impact and airborne noise.
Install SBX Boards on the Floor
Provides extra soundproofing by adding mass.
Ideal if the cupboard is above another room and noise needs to be reduced.
3. Seal Gaps and Openings
Even small gaps can allow sound to pass through, reducing the effectiveness of your soundproofing.
Use Acoustic Putty Pads
Place around electrical sockets to prevent sound leaks.
Apply Acoustic Sealant
Fill in any gaps, cracks, or joints around the cupboard.
Helps maintain an airtight soundproofing seal.
Additional Tips for Maximum Noise Reduction
Consider Door Seals – If the cupboard has a door, adding a draught excluder or an acoustic seal can help block sound leaks.
Check for Air Vents – If noise is escaping through vents, consider using acoustic foam or baffles.
Use Soft Furnishings – A rug or fabric lining inside the cupboard can further reduce echoes and improve sound absorption.
By following these steps, you can significantly reduce noise levels inside and outside your cupboard, whether for privacy, comfort, or functional use.
