There are more than 9000 metropolitan centers in the globe now, housing close to 4 billion people. In reality, this means that billions of people are exposed to the loud, bustling city noises that come from their many, many neighbors, some of whom can be louder than an ambulance going by while sounding its siren. Or maybe you're the one who's loud? Whatever the situation, it's no secret that city dwellers, particularly those from the biggest, densest cities in the world, are searching for additional ways to make their homes a more peaceful and secure place to hide from the incessant noise. Here's where cutting-edge wall coverings come into play.
Let's just say that if you saw someone on TV trying to make noise by leaning egg cartons against the wall, it will, regrettably, not work. However, there are some choices available that will!
There is a crucial distinction that needs to be recognized, even though this post won't be overly technical. Depending on what you need, there are goods that can block (decrease) sound transmission as well as products that can absorb sound from within a room. The most effective soundproofing alternatives will be those that are "built into" the wall, whereas sound absorbing options are ones you may put up as a finishing surface in the space. This is the first notable distinction.
Design, acoustics, fire resistance, moisture resistance, and ease of repair are all features of acoustic wall plasters. The list is endless. See the following section for additional information on the specific possibilities that acoustic plasters have to offer.
Acoustic plaster will not be a completely soundproofing alternative, much like acoustic wall panels. Instead, it will aid in muffling any noises that occasionally may seem loud. A special product with Japanese roots is silk plaster liquid wallpaper, which is made in Europe.
Let's explore what more it has to offer those looking for a lovely wall cover alternative outside the sound-reducing properties.
BE ECO-FRIENDLY
Silk plaster wall coverings are first and foremost manufactured from organic, sustainable resources. Minerals, an adhesive, and cellulose fibers make up the majority of the material. An ecologically friendly, internationally approved coating material that is both safe and beautiful for homes and workplaces is produced by using natural raw materials and tightly regulated production technologies.
HYPOALLERGENIC
All Silk Plaster products have hypoallergenic qualities, which means that no substances that could cause an allergic reaction are released from any Silk Plaster-coated surfaces. Additionally, this wallcovering plaster substance nearly acts as a repellent, preventing dust, hair, or other potentially harmful pathogens from settling on its surfaces, making it safe for the entire family to use!
AVOIDING FIRE
Speaking of safety, Silk plaster is one of the safest solutions available for home improvement because its products are also fire-resistant.
THERMAL CHARACTERS
Silk plaster acoustic plaster has both acoustic absorption and thermal insulation qualities, making it possible to warm up huge, chilly spaces.
MOISTURE & ODOR-RESISTANT
Did you know that the majority of wall coverings available on the market, including insulation and wall panels, absorb odors and moisture? Not liquid wall plasters! Due to the special ingredients in the material, scents and moisture are repelled, preventing them from bursting or beginning to peel, for example, when exposed to cooking odours.
CONCEPT & TEXTURE
These goods offer a lovely soft-to-the-touch texture that will make any place seem cozy and warm in addition to a number of pattern options, such as geometric shapes and unique drawings or moldings. Additionally, the texture offers a great technique to hide any wall imperfections or fissures.
Plaster materials, which are consistent and shaped, produce a stunning result without any seams, unlike wallpaper or acoustic panels, which have seams.
ENTIRE COVERAGE
Not least but not least, the ideal result. This is not to imply that you won't be happy with your pick if you go with another option. Instead, keep in mind that acoustic panels have pre-determined shapes, making it more challenging to fill unconventional walls like arches or round walls. However, acoustic plaster can be applied to any type of wall or ceiling without much preparation prior.
COMPLETE COVERAGE
The ideal outcome is last but not least. This is not to say that if you choose a different course, you won't be content with your decision. Instead, remember that acoustic panels have preset designs, making it more difficult to fill unusual walls like arches or round walls. However, acoustic plaster doesn't require any prior preparation and can be put to any kind of wall or ceiling.
What you need to know if you've read this far and are thinking about installing acoustic wall plaster in your house. The cost of acoustic plaster will be comparable to, if not less expensive than, that of the other options. Everything ultimately depends on the design and the quantity of the product you require.
The plastering of acoustic walls is simple to handle, so you can do it yourself or hire a professional if you'd rather. Here's a little run, though, if you want to give it a try or simply want to get an idea of how long the process takes.
Silk plaster materials can be used on a variety of wall types, each of which has specific preparatory requirements. We won't bore you with the entire list because it is pretty lengthy; instead, we will assume that anyone interested in learning more will check our website. Just remember that the objective is to have a surface that is dry, smooth, clean, monochromatic white, devoid of stains, and ready to use.
Once you have prepared the surface - you can treat it with a deep penetration primer. This means applying two layers of Silk plaster primer over the entire surface, aiming for total coverage. Drying time between the application of layers is 24 hours. Plus, the decorative plasters should be applied 24 hours after the second layer of Silk plaster primer.
The preparation of the content is critical to the success of the project.
Pouring clean, room-temperature water into a plastic container is the first step. Typically, each variety of ornamental plaster's water need is listed on the container. Then, add the package's contents to the water. If you need multiple packages of Silk plaster, mix them all at once, just like you would with paints. The material from the same mix should completely cover one wall. This is also the opportunity, if you'd like, to add glitter and/or other decorative ingredients.
Completely combine the ingredients by hand. Certain items necessitate drilling the mixer nozzle, but the label will typically make this evident. The moist material should then be kept in a plastic bag for 12 hours once that is finished.
Prior to application, completely re-mix the substance by hand or with a mixer nozzle. Using a plastic trowel, uniformly distribute small amounts of the combined mixture across the surface. After a couple of hours, trowel the surface while wetting it.
Apply Silk plaster varnish to the surface to boost longevity and the likelihood of future wet washing.
Overall, the setup and preparation may take three days, which is ideal because working on a project gradually reduces stress levels rather than trying to finish it in one long, exhausting day.
There you have it, then! a simple method for good management that also has many additional advantages. You can choose from a variety of acoustic plaster designs, so don't wait to browse our product inventory!
