ACOUSTIC MINERAL WOOL

 sound proofing acoustic noise insulation

  

For effective acoustic insulation of airborne noise through stud walls and floors!

 

 

Introduction

The density of Acoustic Mineral Wool is specifically produced to give maximum sound absorption of airborne noise through partition walls and timber suspended floors.  Acoustic Mineral Wool (AMW) is used extensively in buildings and throughout industry to give acoustic, thermal and fire insulation.  It is particularly useful as a  sound absorbing infill for the reduction of airborne sound between flooring joists, suspended ceilings, studwall partitioning and if used with our Resilient Bars the acoustic performance is enhanced.

General Description

AMW consists mainly of silicon oxide together with a number of other metallic oxides.  It is non-flammable, chemically inert and is not adversely affected by any substance it may come into contact with.  Random arrangement of fibres ensures no water penetration in any direction.  It is rot-proof, non-hygroscopic, does not sustain vermin and will not encourage the growth of fungi, moulds or bacteria.  It will not react with wired plastic or metal wall ties, brickwork or masonry and so is the preferred choice of architects and specifiers for good acoustic control.

     Building Regulations Class O

                           In some situations, there is a requirement for party/compartment floors to   

                           achieve a one hour fire rating.  If AMW100 is supported by 25mm chicken wire

                           mesh stapled to joist sides, the insulation will provide a one hour fire rating.
     Acoustic Performance AMW typically provides a reduction in reverberant noise levels of up to 10dB when fitted under roof constructions
