Tips to Make Your Fridge Quieter

• Heat and ventilation
  In order to reduce airborne noise, sound insulation is required. These types of materials often have the property of retaining some heat. It is therefore important to consider how much free space around the refrigerator is required.

• Built-in refrigerator
  Pay attention to the free space you need for the various products we offer. There will be situations where products need to be applied underneath or behind the refrigerator. Measure how much free space you have available before ordering.

• Fan (PowerCooling)
  Do not put too many things on the top shelf inside the refrigerator, blocking the fan will cause the refrigerator to produce more noise (in some cases this can solve some noise problems).

• Are you in doubt?
  If you are not sure whether the tips below are feasible in your situation, please contact the supplier of your refrigerator. We have done our best to take into consideration as many situations as possible.

Insulating refrigerator noise, airborne noise 
Most of the refrigerator noise is produced at the back of the fridge, where the compressor is located. Equip the wall behind the refrigerator with a sound absorbing product, as much as possible without compromising ventilation of the fridge!

• Acousticcell PU
  If you want use an acoustic sound absorber that can be cleaned, the best option is to use Acousticcell PU. This is a self-adhesive sound insulation sheet with a protective PU top layer. You can clean this product with a damp cloth. Acousticcell is easy to cut with a knife. We recommend a thickness of at least 25 mm.
• Flamex Basic
  No protective top layer, not cleanable, but higher sound insulation properties, fire class C. Flamex Basic is particularly easy to cut to size with a knife. Mount with Stauf Extreme Tack. We recommend, if possible, a thickness of 50 mm for the best result.

• Regufoam Damper Pads
  Use for heavy and large refrigerators, American model and wine coolers, 6 to 8 Regufoam Dampers Pads (1 set = 4 dampers) due to high weight. Normal sized and smaller fridges can be placed on one set of 4 dampers. Place the dampers on the floor, or bottom of the kitchen furniture, place a solid and stiff MDF or plywood panel on top of the dampers. This panel should not be wider/larger than the footprint of the refrigerator. Place a damper under each corner of the panel, to avoid bending of the wood panel, also one damper in the middle of the MDF panel. All depending on the size of the refrigerator of course.
