How to Reduce Noise with Soundproofing Tape

Why Soundproofing Matters

People often ask: “Will tape help me meet Building Regulations Part E for sound insulation?”

While no single product alone guarantees compliance, the right soundproofing tape can play a key role in reducing sound transmission in both new builds and renovations. Part E of the Building Regulations focuses on protecting against sound transmission between dwellings, and using high performance tapes in combination with walls, floors, and ceilings can make achieving compliance much easier.

Other common concerns include:

• Reducing noise through walls and floors
• Minimising vibration from machinery or footfall
• Enhancing privacy in multi-use spaces

This is exactly where Walther Strong tapes excel.
