Studio Construction & Soundproofing Guides
Practical advice from TV & Film Studio Group on building, converting and soundproofing studios for film and television, reducing rain noise on metal roofs, and choosing temporary buildings for productions. Each guide draws on the kind of work we carry out for studios, production companies and location managers across the UK.
- Temporary Buildings for Film and TV Productions: A Buyer’s Guide
Temporary buildings give productions secure, insulated space for workshops, wardrobe, stores and offices. This guide covers the options, site checks and planning points to consider before you order. - Soundproofing vs Acoustic Treatment: What Your Studio Needs
Soundproofing keeps noise in or out; acoustic treatment controls echo and reverberation inside. Learn the difference and when a studio needs each, permanently or temporarily. - Sound Stage vs Silent Stage: What’s the Difference?
A sound stage lets you record dialogue with picture; a silent stage relies on sound added in post. We explain the differences, the trade-offs and how existing stages can be upgraded. - Warehouse to Sound Stage Conversion: A Practical Guide
Turning an industrial unit into a working sound stage starts with the right building and a well-sealed acoustic envelope. Here is what to check and how a typical conversion runs. - How to Reduce Rain Noise on a Metal Roof
Metal and fibre cement roofs can be deafening in heavy rain. This guide compares the options for reducing rain noise and explains how external matting such as Silent Roof Material is fitted.
