In brief

MS Contractor SA carries out sound insulation in the city of Geneva for apartments, villas and premises. Decoupled linings on party walls, acoustic suspended ceilings, floating screeds and floors against footstep noise, acoustic windows and duct treatment are chosen according to the noise to reduce.

The context in the city of Geneva

Geneva, the central city of the canton, spreads out on both sides of the harbour and the Rhône, from the Old Town to the dense Pâquis, Eaux-Vives, Plainpalais, Champel and Servette districts. Residential buildings, often old, managed by property management agencies and subject to heritage rules, dominate the built fabric. Traffic, parking for machinery and use of public land shape every worksite.

Frequently asked questions

Your questions in the city of Geneva

How long does an acoustic lining in the city of Geneva take?

Two to three days for a bedroom wall, finishes included. The quote details the items and the planned duration and specifies what is not included.

Is a permit needed for sound insulation in the city of Geneva?

Simple maintenance and a renovation do not always involve the same procedures. In Geneva, leaving the structure or the layout of the home unchanged is not enough to conclude that no permit is needed. The obligations depend on the building and the nature of the work. Before starting, have your project checked by your architect, your MPQ or the department of the territory. In agreement with your representative, MS Contractor SA organises and carries out the planned work. The procedures are presented on the website of the State of Geneva, on the applying for a building permit page.

How many decibels can be gained in the city of Geneva?

A decoupled lining often brings eight to twelve decibels on a party wall. The result depends on the other paths the sound takes, which we locate.

Can a ceiling be insulated against footsteps from the neighbour above in the city of Geneva?

Yes, with a suspended ceiling on springs with mineral wool. Treating the floor of the neighbour above remains more effective when it is possible.
