The SONOpan Solution for PRO3 Properties’ Duplex Conversion

PRO3 Properties

Overview

PRO3 Properties undertook the challenge of converting a run-down bungalow into a sleek, code-compliant duplex, showcasing Owner Christian Kalb’s commitment to revitalizing spaces with modern living solutions.

Solution

Faced with regulatory hurdles that prevented the use of SONOpan in the basement ceiling, PRO3 Properties creatively circumvented this by opting for SONOpanX. This 7/16” low-profile solution was easy to install throughout the upper unit’s floors. By softening the floor and decoupling the finished flooring, SONOpanX effectively limited impact sound transfer.

Results

This strategic decision significantly enhanced soundproofing, greatly improving the privacy and comfort of both living spaces. The use of SONOpanX in the upper unit effectively minimized noise transfer, creating a quieter environment for all residents. Christian Kalb shared his satisfaction with the outcome, stating: “I have no regrets and I will install SONOpanX again, as soon as the next upper/main unit tenant moves out.”

Applications

For homeowners, property investors, or DIY renovators, this project demonstrates how SONOpanX can be an effective solution for reducing floor impact noise and improving duplex soundproofing. Its slim profile makes it easy to integrate beneath flooring without sacrificing ceiling height, while still delivering professional-grade noise reduction between floors. Whether finishing a basement suite, upgrading a rental property, or improving comfort in a multi-story home, SONOpanX provides a straightforward installation method to achieve quieter, more private living environments.
