Sound Proofing
Acoustic Performance
With acoustic design in schools becoming increasingly stringent, the integration of glass and rock mineral wool within plasterboard partitions is critical for enhanced sound absorption, improving acoustic performance at a broader range of frequencies.
The rationale for using Mineral Wool for noise control
The sound absorption characteristics of mineral wool make it ideal for use in modern buildings to comply with sound insulation regulations. In addition, the thermal properties of mineral wool provide a secondary benefit of minimising heat loss either between adjoining rooms or between floors within a building.
A further benefit is to minimise the overall mass of the building, easing the construction processes.
Buildings with built -up metal roofs may need to incorporate noise control measures covering both sound insulation & sound absorption not only to meet building regulation requirements, but also Health and Safety and Environmental Health Regulations.
Our Technical Advisory Centre team are able to offer technical support and specific acoustic solutions. Please contact tech@knaufinsulation.com for assistance and advice on how we can add value to your project needs.
