Soundproofing and Insulation Roller Shutter Box Housing

Soundproofing and insulation for roller shutter box
The housing, or shutter box, in which a roller shutter is rolled up in is often not soundproofed, and when the roller shutter is lowered, it forms a sound box and thus a source of noise nuisance in your home. But you can do something about this noise problem!

Roller shutter box insulationThe shutter housing is generally made of fairly thin and light sheet material, such as steel or aluminium. The position of this housing often falls just outside the facade, so that a (loud) ticking sound can be heard during rain and hail. By insulating 50% of the inside of the roller shutter box with Vibraflex Normal the ticking noise will disappear. Outside noises are also insulated with this product. Read more about this solution on the tips page "Insulating roller shutter housing".

Anti-drumming to soundproof a windowsill
The same problem occurs with plastic and aluminium window sills. These also amplify the ticking noise of rain and hail and thus causes noise nuisance. To soundproof the windowsill you need to apply Vibraflex to the underside of the windowsill. Remove the windowsill(s) and clean it thoroughly. Apply the Vibraflex Normal as a sticker, and avoid air bubbles. The pressure roller is an ideal tool for the job!
