ᐅ Hollow bricks and soundproofing – looking for experiences

Created on: 20 Apr 2020 16:21

Hello,
we are planning to build our house using unfilled Unipor bricks. Since the plot is in a quiet location, we had no concerns about sound insulation so far. However, a construction company advised me against this because internal noise could also be a problem.
Does anyone have a house built with unfilled bricks? If yes, which bricks and what thermal insulation value do they have? Are there any issues with sound insulation?
Thank you very much!

Well, that’s not entirely true. We’ve had windows in the house before as well. 😉

But in fact, it is true. There is plenty of material available online where you can get more information. The wall construction hardly matters if you don't have the right soundproof windows.

At this point, I prefer to rely on my purely subjective experience, which indicates that the type of wall still plays a significant role in the sound within the house. So far, we have been able to do without soundproof windows, but we can already notice the difference between the wall materials discussed here.

Yes, sound is largely a matter of subjective perception. I always recommend looking at the entire package as a whole to ensure satisfaction in the end. Nowadays, windows are a key element alongside the wall, due to their increasing size and triple glazing.

However, windows can be replaced relatively quickly as well. 😉

Regarding windows, don’t forget that the measurements of the frame and glass don’t matter as much: installation is the crucial factor. No large membrane can vibrate as much as air can whistle through the thumb-thick installation gap between the frame and the reveal.
