Where customers have almost no space available for soundproofing we have introduced a new, very slim line solution. We would always recomend the SM20 solution for those who can afford the space. This lack of space is often associated with hallways or where doors / windows are very close to the wall to be soundproofed.
The Thinnest Solution in our Range
- Our slimmest fitting wall soundproofing solution
- A very DIY-able stick on Solution
- Tecsound 50 and plasterboard finish from just 19mm thick
- Online calculator will work out your exact requirements
- Soundproofing Kit delivered direct to your door
Our Ultra Slim Wall Soundproofing
Our two slim line options:
Single Plasterboard
Aprox. 10 dB Airborne Improvement
By combining a single layer of 15mm plasterboard with two layers of the high performance Tecsound 50 acoustic membrane we believe we have created a cost effective and slim line solution. The solution is relatively simple to install with a layer of self adhesive Tecsound 50 being stuck to the existing wall and a second layer being added to a layer of acoustic plasterboard. The plasterboard is presented to the Tecsound lined wall and then screwed through to the original wall.
Only 19mm Wall Depth Gain
Double Plasterboard
12 dB - 14 dB Airborne Improvement
To get the highest performance whilst still being slim line we recommend using two layers of Tecsound 50 and two layers of plasterboard. The Tecsound is stuck to the party wall and a layer of plasterboard screwed to that wall, this is lined with a 2nd layer of Tecsound 50. A second plasterboard is then added to this creating a double layer of soundproofing. This solution is very much a DIYable project that delivers a good level of soundproofing performance with minimal depth gain.
Just 29mm Wall Depth Gain
How it works
The combination of two layers of dense visco-elastic Tecsound 50 membrane and the weight of the plasterboard acts as an effective solution for blocking sound across the party wall with absolutely minimal space loss.
This is a brand new and as yet un-lab tested solution. So we can only go on the feed back of clients, in a domestic environment and on the basis of their comments we feel the product is uprating the wall by at least 10-14 dB.

Disclaimer: It is the responsibility of the installer/builder, not Soundstop.co.uk, to ensure all building and fire regulations are met, and that the construction itself is appropriate for the building and situation. Soundstop.co.uk can advise and give instruction on installation but hold no liability for the application itself.
Tecsound 50 Acoustic Membrane
Tecsound SY50 is a self adhesive acoustic membrane with an impressive performance. It is extremely flexible and improves both airborne and impact passage of sound.
It is a high density, polymer based synthetic soundproofing membrane providing excellent acoustic insulation in different construction elements. Because it is self adhesive and very flexible, it is very easy to use, an therefore has numerous applications. Tecsoud SY50 is self extinguishing and fire resistant.
Tecsound Performance
The performance of Tecsound 50 is truly impressive. In fact, it's performance is equivalent to lead of the same surface weight. The Tecsound 50 in a single layer boasts an Rw figure of over 25dB and due its chemical make up it has exceptional damping qualities. It is these qualities that are normally absent from rigid plasterboard type constructions. This resilience means that it compares very favourably to the likes of green glue, as it not only provides great resilience but it also provides high mass. The membrane has reinforcing scrim on one side and when applying the panels it should be facing you.
More information.....
When soundproofing a wall it is necessary to improve three basic components.
1. The mass of the wall - This is normally achieved by adding acoustic plasterboard and high density products such as Tecsound 50.
2. The resilience of the wall - This is the springiness of the wall. Without this, the addition of the mass will have very little impact. The Tecsound 50 acts as resilience and mass.
3. The sound "absorbency" of the wall - By adding different components the sound gets trapped more easily within the wall.
The Tecsound 50 slim wall provides a moderate level of soundproofing where the space is very tight. It is important to realise that simply putting acoustic plasterboard direct to the wall offers virtually no improvement as you require resilience and absorbency which in this case is provided by the Tecsound 50. The addition of Tecsound 50 will help reduce the resonance passing into the plasterboards.
The total performance which is normally quoted on most sites refers to the performance of an average wall with soundproofing materials added.
We also give an indication of performance uplift. Remember that every 10dB of performance uplift corresponds to roughly a 50% improvement in the performance of the wall. So 20dB would indicate a 75% Improvement over and above the original wall.
If you are thinking of refitting electrical sockets back into the wall. you might be advised to line your electrical boxes with our acoustic putty.
Remember, a 1% hole in your soundproofing surface can reduce performance of your soundproofing by up to 10%. Lining your plug sockets will go some way to reducing this leakage.
The best results for SoundStop panels are achieved with solid brick party walls. Breeze block walls may suffer from flanking transmission problems so any soundproofing treatments require an assessment of this possible difficulty Flanking Transmission problems.
We are often asked what is the final finish and do I need a plasterer? We provide all the materials necessary to achieve a smooth decorate-able finish. We supply the finishing compound that allows you to achieve a smooth wall without plastering. All items are automatically added when you press the blue calculator.
Have you Thought about these Weak Spots?
Doors
The gap between the door and the floor is often the biggest breach in a room's soundproofing but we have a range of solutions that can help.

from 264 reviewsI called Soundstop with lots of questions and the person I spoke with was extremely knowledgeable and helpful. I ended up purchasing soundproofed plasterboards and genie clip system from them
Two alcoves with independent stud walls built and insulation/clips installed.
The result? It works, was sceptical it would,so it was a gamble, sound reduced from neighbours is 70% less and now feel like our semi detached house is more like a fully detached! I’m glad I did it, took me 2 days in total.
All products for a LB2 soundproof ceiling are as expected and delivered on time. The advice given before ordering and before installation was second to none. The guys at soundstop really care that your project goes well. Can't recommend them enough!
From query to delivery always a pleasure to do business with. Can recommend enough. We have used both the standard and advanced (sbx) sm20 systems and they have both made a huge difference in a mid terraced house.
I am very happy with the product, delivery and services, top rated.
Will always recommend and use Soundstop.
Kind regards George
Soundstop are truly amazing at what they do. As a DIYer I need help and advice lots and the team are always there to help out.
The products themselves are top quality and worth of any recording studio never mind my party wall!
Keep up the good work!
The service from the team at Soundstop has been amazing. Jim advised me in the early stages and took my thinking to an end design which is now installed and working beyond my expectations Thankyou
The items I have purchased from soundstop have been very useful in the application used to carry out the job requirements on the job that had to be done, the service from Lucy and Jim have been outstanding would use soundstop and would certainly recommend there services to another company or individual
All-round excellent service. Had a phonecall to confirm order minutes after making it online & had further calls keeping me updated on delivery. Very friendly & were more than happy to give some advice when needed.
Genie clips & bars were simple to install & there's good articles on the website for reference. Haven't heard anything from my neighbours yet!
I'd like to thank the team at Soundstop, they completely exceeded my expectations. The customer service is second to none and the delivery was on time as agreed. Very highly recommended.
I don’t think in nearly 23 years I’ve ever dealt with a company so efficient, knowledgeable and helpful! Delivery was very quick. When I needed some technical assistance, Jim was more than helpful. So much so that I felt I should’ve paid him a consultancy fee! Such a pleasure to do business with Soundshield. Amazing!
Very helpful, in helping us to what we needed to order, to soundproof our wall, it all arrived on time, first class service, will be using them again, Thankyou soundproof, for all your help.
My experience of phoning Soundstop for general help with soundproofing and specific help with their products has been a unique experience. A genuine desire to help backed up with the actual knowledge to be so.
I just wish all support calls could be so fruitful.
Very helpful staff meant that a non sound DIY person could buy and install with confidence.
Thank you for your time and help
We had great telephone support whilst choosing the product. We bought Tecsound 70 which was easy to fit ( following the good instructions ) It is a great product and seems to work well. The carpet fitter was amazed by it and the shop are now interested in knowing more! Would recommend both Stopsound and the product
