00:00 Introduction
00:41 Neighbor's wall
— Generally, walls dividing houses are low, causing sound to pass over the wall and echo throughout your yard. Increasing the height of the wall will prevent noise from passing so easily into your yard and will considerably reduce the noise that reaches your house.
02:05 Understanding local legislation
— Raising the wall with cement blocks is a good solution, but be aware of your city's regulations; find out the maximum height allowed by the city hall for walls.
02:22 If you do, reinforce the wall
— If you are allowed to raise your wall, reinforce it well! With columns and whatever else an engineer you trust suggests. Never raise the wall without reinforcement, because in a strong wind there is a risk of the wall collapsing.
02:46 Cement board
— A similar solution is using cement board with wool in between; it's lighter and has steel structures.
03:55 And in multi-story houses?
— It's impractical to build a wall higher than the house itself; besides being expensive, it's dangerous. In this case, there are other solutions, such as acoustic windows and doors. Learn about our windows in this video: • Janelas acústicas com vidro multilaminado
