Structure-borne sound damping for an optimal sound levelExtra weight is added to a product to reduce vibrations and achieve a damping effect.ShareREAD MORE/CONTACTHideExtra weight is added to a product to reduce vibrations and achieve a damping effect.Materials are available with densities from 1.2 kg/m² to 10 kg/m². The materials are also used as high-density layers to make the noise to be reflected against the surface. For example, cladding the walls of a cabinet with high density material causes the sound to be retained in the cabinet. Sandwich constructions of different materials is often used to achieve an optimal sound level. Key Account ManagerDennis AnderssonPhone +46(0) 370 65 47 16 Send e-mail

Questions and answersFAQ on Structure-Borne Noise Dampening/Damping Paper. Can structure-borne sound insulation be used outdoors? Yes, certain products—such as bitumen with an aluminum coating—perform well in environments where temperature fluctuations and moisture require extra durability. Can you customize the shape, geometry, and thickness? Yes, all of our structure-borne noise-reducing products can be die-cut or contour-cut according to the customer’s drawings. We produce both small and large batches with short lead times. Can you help us develop prototypes? Absolutely. We develop prototypes in collaboration with the customer and ensure that the choice of materials and design meet the appropriate acoustic and mechanical requirements before mass production. Do you also use polyester fiber for structure-borne sound insulation? Yes, polyester fiber can be used as a lighter cushioning material and often serves as a complement to bitumen when the goal is to balance weight and shock absorption. How do you choose the right structure-borne sound insulation material? We take into account the product’s vibrations, design, frequency requirements, and environment. With our expertise in materials, we help you find the right balance between weight, damping, and cost. How do you support companies that want to improve their noise levels? We serve as a technical partner and assist with material selection, testing, and the development of solutions that reduce vibrations and improve acoustic performance—always with a focus on cost-effectiveness and quality. How does structure-borne sound insulation affect the product's service life? Reducing vibrations also reduces wear on components and joints. This makes the product more reliable and durable over time. How does structure-borne sound insulation work in combination with sound-absorbing materials? The combination of a heavy layer and absorbent material, such as polyester fiber, provides both damping and sound absorption. This is common in designs where the goal is to affect multiple frequency ranges simultaneously. How much do your structure-borne noise dampers weigh? Our bitumen-based solutions range from 1.2 to 10 kg per square meter, making it easy to tailor the material to the customer’s requirements for weight, frequency, and damping. How quickly can you deliver structural noise-dampening components? Thanks to our flexible machinery, we can handle both small and large production runs with short lead times. We adapt to the customer’s schedule and volume requirements. In what environments is heavy-layer used? Sound-absorbing panels are used in applications where the goal is to reduce sound transmission, such as in the automotive industry, industrial enclosures, and home appliances. They are available in various thicknesses and weight classes to meet specific sound-damping requirements. Is bitumen a sustainable choice of material? Bitumen is stable, durable, and well-proven in the industry. We also work with combinations that pair bitumen with recycled materials to create smart and more resource-efficient solutions. What does heavy-layer mean? A heavy-layer material is a high-density material that reflects and absorbs sound. It is used, for example, to contain sound within cassette structures or machine housings. What is structure-borne sound insulation? Structural vibration damping involves adding extra weight to a product to reduce vibrations. Our damping board is used to create a more stable and quieter design, for example in home appliances or technical installations. What is the advantage of bitumen-coated paper laminated onto foam? Laminated bitumen provides both mass and absorption in a single solution. It is used when a structure requires both vibration damping and sound damping, such as in utility hatches and machine enclosures. What is the difference between bitumen roofing felt and bitumen roofing felt with an aluminum surface? Bitumen roofing felt with an aluminum surface combines vibration damping with a more durable, heat-reflective top layer—perfect for environments where both noise and temperature pose challenges. What structural noise-dampening materials does Horda Stans offer? We offer bitumen roofing felt in several varieties, including heavy-duty, bitumen with an aluminum surface, bitumen laminated to foam, and sound-absorbing polyester fiber solutions. When is bitumen-impregnated paper used for structure-borne sound insulation? Bitumen felt is used when a cost-effective and stable vibration dampener is needed. It is popular in the appliance, ventilation, automotive, and engineering sectors. Which industries use your damping products? We supply structure-borne noise damping solutions to the automotive industry, the home appliance manufacturing sector, the ventilation industry, the furniture industry, and all types of machinery and industrial production where vibrations need to be controlled. Why is added weight effective at dampening vibrations? When we incorporate a heavy material, such as bitumen-impregnated paper, vibrations are absorbed rather than transmitted through the structure. This results in less noise and greater comfort during operation.
