Wondering how to soundproof a hotel room or apartment building? What about starting a rooftop garden on your restaurant or commercial property? These innovative measures can help improve your business’s offerings!
Let’s tackle soundproofing first. Sometimes apartment neighbors or hotel guests are louder than we wish them to be -whatever the reason, people don’t like being disrupted by the noises of others. Sound is a vibration or wave passing through a medium, and we need to determine whether we want to absorb (muffle) or reduce those waves. This is altering your soundscape. Absorbing sound uses some type of insulation. Reducing sound can require a diffuser. Sometimes a hiring a professional might be necessary for the best soundproofing possible.
Do you have a rooftop on your building that goes largely unused? Have you considered installing a rooftop garden? These spaces require special structural considerations, including: plant types, irrigation systems, soilless growing medium, drainage layer and rooftop waterproofing. But the benefits can include helping your community, the environment and your bottom line!
