Working from home has huge perks, but thin walls can make it incredibly frustrating to take important calls. If your home office shares a wall with a noisy nursery, a busy living room, or a TV area, you know exactly how distracting background noise can be.

That was the exact problem a strategy consultant from Sydney was facing. His home office shared timber-stud walls with both his baby’s nursery and the family living room. Whenever he was on a call, he had to deal with the sharp sound of a crying baby, people chatting, or the low rumble of the television. Tired of the constant interruptions, he reached out to us at Building Supplies Australia to find a real, heavy-duty solution.

Supplying the Right Materials for the Job

As a dedicated building materials supplier, we specialize in giving expert product advice and supplying the exact materials needed to get the job done right.

To solve his noise problem, we supplied him with high-performance 13mm Soundshield Plasterboard. Soundshield is much heavier and denser than standard drywall. That extra weight is the secret to stopping sound in its tracks. 

Because Soundshield installs and finishes just like standard plasterboard, it’s a straightforward upgrade for any builder or handy DIYer. By swapping out the thin standard drywall for this heavy acoustic board, the wall gets a massive upgrade in performance:

• The wall’s soundproofing rating (often called an STC rating) jumps by 8 to 10 points.
• This upgrade successfully blocks 70% to 75% of airborne noise, which effectively cuts the volume of loud talking or TV noise in half.

A Transformed, Professional Workspace

By using the right materials, the disruptive household noises were completely stopped. The TV and visitor chatter became totally muffled, and the baby crying next door dropped to a faint, non-distracting hum.

Here is what the client had to say after the project was finished:

“Working from home is completely different now. The Soundshield plasterboards made a massive difference. I can finally take client calls with absolute confidence and peace of mind.”

This goes to show that you don’t need to knock down your whole house to fix a noisy room. Sometimes, just supplying the right, high-density material is all it takes.

Why Choose Soundshield Plasterboards?

 Here is why Soundshield is the top choice for builders and DIYers:

• The extra weight is the secret to deadening and blocking airborne sound waves.
• Gives you high-end acoustic results without the high cost of building complex double-stud walls.
• It cuts, screws, and flattens exactly like standard plasterboard, making it easy for any local tradie or weekend DIYer to handle.
