Extraneous noise in the apartment irritates and interferes with fruitful rest. Noise – trouble in a city apartment. But you can deal with this enemy. The first problematic place is windows. An ideal option would be to replace old windows with modern metal -plastic windows. In extreme cases, it would be nice to increase the thickness of the glass to 6 mm. You can also achieve a good result by lubricating all the joints of the frame with a silicone sealant. Plus, you need to compact the windows by gluing a rubber seal along the edges of the frame box. Now many began to install a heating cable for the water supply, it is not very expensive and everyone can allow it.
In addition to windows, the “good” source of extra sounds is the joints of the walls with the ceiling and the floor. There are more work. Will have to dismantle plinths and cornices. In places of docking, as a rule, cracks are formed, from which it is necessary to get rid of. For this, cracks are filled with sand-cement mortar. After hardening, a layer of silicone sealant is applied.
The noise into our apartments penetrates the same and through sockets. In some cases, during construction, sockets are mounted in technological holes in the wall. To eliminate this problem, you will have to remove the outlet from the wall with the mounting box (just do not forget to de -energize the place of work). Next, we simply close the hole with a gasket from asbestos fabric and a layer of cement mortar.
Well, and, of course, it is unnecessary to forget about the front door. The door is better to set a double. The threshold between the doors will close the gap between the floor and the door. For the maximum effect, it is better to glue the door box with a rubber seal. Having carried out a number of simple events, you can reduce the noise in the apartment to a minimum. The main thing is to decide who will do this.
