Independent Wall
Our independent wall system is the most popular and best performing system
for airborne and impact noise reduction.
Installation
- We construct a new timer frame completely detached from the current wall.
With a minimum of 25mm space / gap between the frame and current wall.
- Compact fit RW3 100mm 60gk/m³ thick Rockwool in between the cavities
of the new timber frame.
- Fit acoustic resilient bars to joist to minimise contact to the frame
- Fix 1st layer of 19mm acoustic sound plank to resilient bars.
- All joints, gaps and perimeter sealed with acoustic mastic sealant.
- Fix 2nd layer of 12.5mm acoustic sound shield plasterboards as final layer
to resilient bar.
- All plugs will be refitted as per original fitting.
- Wall ready for plastering. (See upgrades section for more information)
Most common installation
Were excessive airborne and impact noises are found .i.e loud TV’s,
music, shouting, heavy footsteps from stairway walls and slamming doors
Space impact
5 inch to 6.5 inch wall space require for installation (depending on additional
upgrades)
or
125mm to 160mm space require (depending on additional upgrades)
Improvement in noise reduction
50% to 70% improvement in noise reduction
or
25db+ to 30db+ improvement in noise reduction
Weight per kg/m² addition
Upgrades and Extras available for this system
Rockwool upgrade to RW5 – This would increase the density and weight
of the Rockwool from RW3 - 60kg/m³ to RW5 – 100kg/m³. Around
10% to 15% improvement in noise reduction
Barrier Matting extra – Fit a 5kg/m² or 10kg/m² barrier matt
to new frame after wool installation, this will increase the density and weight
applied to the area. Around 10% to 15% improvement in noise reduction
Plastering – We have independent plastering contractors we use and we
guarantee their work.
Acoustic Resilient Bar Wall System
Our acoustic resilient bar system is ideal where space is an issue. The resilient
bar wall system very popular for airborne and impact noise reduction.
Installation
- Remove current plaster board wall or install new 50mm Batons
- If wall removed - Compact fit RW3 100mm thick Rockwool in between the cavities
of the frame; or
- New Batons are installed Compact fit RW3 50mm thick Rockwool in between
the batons
- Fit acoustic resilient bars to frame to minimise contact of the new / existing
frame
- Fix 1st layer of 19mm acoustic sound plank to resilient bars.
- All joints, gaps and perimeter sealed with acoustic mastic sealant.
- Fix 2nd layer of 12.5mm acoustic sound shield plasterboards as final layer
to resilient bar.
- All plugs will be refitted as per original fitting.
- Wall ready for plastering. (See upgrades section for more information)
Most common installation
Were airborne and impact noises are found with space constraints.i.e loud
TV’s, music, shouting, heavy footsteps from stairway walls and slamming
doors, light “switching” noises, loud talking.
Space impact
2 inch to 4 inch wall space require for installation (depending on additional
upgrades)
or
50mm to 100mm space require (depending on additional upgrades)
Improvement in noise reduction
40% to 60% improvement in noise reduction
or
16db+ to 22db+ improvement in noise reduction
Weight per kg/m² addition
Upgrades and Extras available for this system
Rockwool upgrade to RW5 – This would increase the density and weight
of the Rockwool from 50mm RW3 - 60kg/m³ to RW5 – 100kg/m³ and/or
from 100mm RW3 - 60kg/m³ to RW5 – 100kg/m³. Around 10%
to 15% improvement in noise reduction
Barrier Matting extra – Fit a 5kg/m² or 10kg/m² barrier matt
to new frame after wool installation, this will increase the density and weight
applied to the area. Around 10% to 15% improvement in noise reduction
Plastering – We have independent plastering contractors we use and we
guarantee their work.
M20 Rubber Panel Wall System
Our M20 rubber Panel Wall system is ideal where space is an issue. The M20
rubber panel wall system very popular for airborne noise reduction.
Installation
- Prepare affected wall area for installation
- M20 rubber panels are fitted to the wall
- All joints, gaps and perimeter sealed with acoustic mastic sealant.
- Fix 1st layer of 15mm acoustic sound shield to wall panels UPGRADE
for acoustic adhesive available
- All joints, gaps and perimeter sealed with acoustic mastic sealant.
- Fix 2nd layer of 15mm acoustic sound shield to 1st layer of sound shield
plaster board UPGRADE for acoustic adhesive available
- All plugs will be refitted as per original fitting.
- Wall ready for plastering. (See upgrades section for more information)
Most common installation
Were airborne noises are found with space constraints.i.e loud TV’s,
music, shouting, light “switching” noises, loud talking.
Space impact
2 inch to 2 ½ inch wall space require for installation (depending on
additional upgrades)
or
50mm to 65mm space require (depending on additional upgrades)
Improvement in sound
45% to 65% improvement in noise reduction
or
19db+ to 27db+ improvement in noise reduction
Weight per kg/m² addition
Upgrades and Extras available for this system
Acoustic Sound barrier Adhesive – This state of the art adhesive is specifically
designed to breakdown sound waves and improve noise reduction., working similar
to an acoustic resilient bar. Around 5% to 15% improvement in noise
reduction for Adhesive Upgrade
Plastering – We have independent plastering contractors we use and we
guarantee their work.
