SONOpan and SONOpanX Soundproofing: Quiet Living Achieved in Rental Units

BM Builds Corp.

Overview

BM BUILDS CORP, led by Ben Menecola in the Niagara region, completed a full renovation project centered around SONOpan and SONOpanX soundproofing. This success story showcases how advanced soundproofing solutions can drastically improve noise control and acoustic comfort in multi-unit residential buildings. The project focused on applying SONOpan and SONOpanX soundproofing assemblies across walls, ceilings, and floors to transform a noisy rental unit into a serene living environment.

Solution

To reach a professional-grade soundproofing result, BM BUILDS CORP used both SONOpan and SONOpanX panels throughout the renovation. SONOpan panels were installed behind drywall on common walls and ceilings to block airborne noise. On the floors, SONOpanX was layered beneath plywood and luxury vinyl plank (LVP) flooring, effectively controlling vibration and impact noise transfer between levels. This strategic combination of SONOpan and SONOpanX materials provided consistent, high-performance sound insulation throughout every room.

Results

Following installation, the renovated unit became the quietest rental in the building. With SONOpan and SONOpanX soundproofing, the space achieved superior noise reduction and boosted tenant satisfaction. Residents noticed a dramatic decrease in noise from neighboring units, while property management praised the measurable improvement in privacy and comfort. The project confirmed BM BUILDS CORP’s expertise and SONOpan’s proven acoustic performance as a trusted building material.

Applications

These results demonstrate how SONOpan and SONOpanX soundproofing can benefit homeowners, landlords, and developers seeking quieter, more comfortable living spaces. Installing SONOpan behind drywall with SONOpanX underlayment beneath flooring minimizes sound transfer in bedrooms, home offices, and multi-unit dwellings. These assemblies perform especially well in rental units, reducing disturbances from footsteps, voices, and television noise.
