Sound moving between rooms
Voices, television and music can travel through walls, ceilings, doors and gaps. We review the room boundaries and connected spaces before recommending construction work.

Start with the sound problem
Bass and building vibration
Low frequency sound and impact noise can travel through the structure. Their control needs a broader review than decorative wall panels.
Echo and reflections inside a room
Absorptive panels and other acoustic finishes can address reflections and reverberation. Their placement and depth depend on the room and the intended use.
Details that connect the whole build
Doors, penetrations and shared services can limit an otherwise substantial assembly. Electrical and ventilation changes are coordinated without obstructing required airflow or safety provisions.
Different goals need different work
A listening room that feels controlled
For music and media rooms, treatment can be integrated with fabric panels, joinery and the room layout. Any measurement, design targets and specialist tuning are agreed as part of the scope.
A cinema with a considered room shell
Where sound transfer is the concern, we assess construction options before finishes are installed. Added mass, cavity treatment, separation and sealing may be appropriate in a designed assembly.
Three steps to a clear acoustic scope
1. Describe what you hear
Tell us the source, the affected room and when it matters. Start with the concern; product choices and technical terms are optional.
2. Review the sound paths
We inspect the relevant construction and access. Where performance targets are important, acoustic assessment and testing requirements are agreed before work.
3. Build the agreed assembly
We install the specified construction and finishes, coordinating doors, electrical details and services. Any testing and acceptance criteria are stated in the scope.
FAQ
Soundproofing questions
Are acoustic panels the same as soundproofing?
No. Acoustic panels primarily manage sound within a room. Sound isolation addresses sound moving between spaces and depends on the complete construction and transmission paths.
Can you guarantee silence or a specific decibel reduction?
No universal reduction is promised. A performance target needs a defined assembly, assessment of existing conditions and an agreed testing method. Laboratory ratings alone do not establish the result in your home.
Do you need to open the walls or ceiling?
Some isolation work requires opening or rebuilding surfaces. Other concerns may be addressed through doors, seals or room treatment. We explain access and reinstatement before the quote is agreed.
Can decorative slats fix an echoing room?
The complete product and installation matter, including any absorptive backing, depth, placement and coverage. Decorative timber slats alone should not be treated as proof of acoustic performance.
Can this be coordinated with a renovation?
Yes. Review entertainment rooms for a cinema or lounge, or include the acoustic scope in a wider room renovation before surfaces are closed.

Read full reviewWe had an excellent experience working with Maxim and Strataline Inc. Installing and perfectly matching a custom stain for our oak treads was no small task, and the addition of the square posts made it an even greater technical challenge—but everything was executed flawlessly.

Read full reviewMaxim at Strataline did a very professional job in removing our hallway popcorn/stucco ceiling. The end result was a completely smooth surface and not only that, they totally sealed off the area so absolutely not dust penetrated other areas of the house.
