testimonial
"We could not afford to lose 75 mm using mineral wool on our wall. The Acoustic Quilt was the product for us as it only took up 30mm and performs far better."
Gloria Turner – Blackpool
Our Acoustic Quilt consists of a laminate of 25mm Acoustic Fibreglass, 2Kg acoustic membrane and 25mm Acoustic Fibreglass.
It performs approx 4 times better than our Acoustic Mineral Wool as it has a barrier layer sandwiched in the middle which blocks airborne sound better than lead.
The Acoustic Quilt exceeds the new Document E Resistance to the Passage of Sound' making it an attractive product for modern building techniques.
Acoustic Quilt can up rate a typical 12.5mm partition by up to 16dB!
Acoustic Quilt can up rate a typical floor section by up to 13dB!

FIXING:
Acoustic Quilt is installed in a similar way to standard glass fibre rolls.
When installing between floor joists its best to fold the quilt around a piece of wooden battening and screw the battening into the sides of the joists. This will compress the Acoustic quilt tight against the joists for the very best performance. If installing within a stud frame do the same fixing method to the header plate and the sides of the studs.
(This product is ideal for providing a soundproofing layer above lightweight suspended ceiling grids.)
Please Note: this product is made with 25mm fibreglass either side of the membrane but due to being shipped in roll form will come compressed overall to around 25mm.
