Double Music Studio Build in London
Soundproofing UK transformed an empty London warehouse into two commercial music studios for live band practice. The full build combined independent wall and ceiling systems, RW3 Rockwool, SP15 soundboards and Tecsound 50, alongside a double acoustic door system and ventilation concealed behind our own bespoke acoustic panels.

From an empty warehouse to two rehearsal studios
The brief was to create two dedicated music studios for commercial live band practice within an open warehouse in London. The project brought together the construction of the studio spaces, their soundproofing systems, acoustic doors, ventilation and internal acoustic treatment.
Live band rehearsal brings several demands into one space: drums, amplified instruments and vocals, alongside the need for a practical room where musicians can play together. Our approach combined sound isolation within the building fabric with acoustic treatment inside the finished rooms.
Independent wall and ceiling systems
We built independent wall and ceiling systems to form the soundproofing structure of the studios. The specification included RW3 Rockwool, SP15 soundboards and Tecsound 50, bringing together cavity absorption and sound-barrier layers within the overall construction.
The materials form part of a complete system. Their installation, connections and detailing matter alongside the specification of each individual product. The construction photographs show the progression from framing through the soundproofing layers to the finished studio interiors.
Double acoustic doors and concealed ventilation
A double acoustic door system formed part of the studio build, addressing the access openings as part of the overall soundproofing design.
Ventilation was incorporated behind acoustic panels manufactured by our team. This kept the ventilation discreet within the finished rooms, with the panels becoming part of the interior design rather than leaving the ventilation visually exposed.
Bespoke acoustic panels for band rehearsal
Our own acoustic panels were installed inside the studios, with wall-mounted panels and suspended ceiling panels visible in the finished rooms. They provide internal acoustic treatment to help manage reflected sound during rehearsals.
Soundproofing and acoustic treatment perform different jobs: the wall, ceiling and door systems address sound passing out of a room, while the panels help control reflections within it. This project incorporated both as part of the complete studio build.
The finished studios
The completed project turned the warehouse space into two distinct band rehearsal rooms. The photographs show the finished interiors with drums, amplifiers, wall panels and ceiling panels, as well as the shared access area outside the studios.
From the independent structures to the bespoke panel finish, this London project demonstrates our approach to full commercial music studio construction.
