Why You Should Wrap Aluminum Foil Around the Bathroom Drain Pipes

The noise reduction shouldn’t be overlooked either. Have you ever been woken by the sound of the water rushing through the pipes in the middle of the night? Ironically it can be very noisy and annoying too. You can also wrap your pipes in aluminum foil to help lower the noise. It inches the door closer toward complete soundproofing, which is nice to have.

Besides these prosaic benefits, this has a creative, personal angle. I like doing little things to make our house feel more cozy and homey, which is why I enjoy doing little home projects. This aluminum foil wrapping trick can be tailored to your tastes. Adhere the foil under the sink with bright duct tape, so it’s more like a work of art than a run for the abyss. They are part of our objective — the reclaimable trappings of lives, not our own, that give even a new place a sense of personality — and they can impart individuality and a little levity to one’s home. I went a step further and used patterned tape from the craft store. Now, every time I yank open the door under the sink, I smile. It is minor, yet it matters.
