Typical Applications
Suitable for non – Loadbearing separating wall applications, for new build or to upgrade existing masonry walls with confidence.
Offers very effective remedial solution where sound flanking down cavity walls has resulted in failure on site.
Can assist with meeting external walls thermal requirements by allowing the use of lighter block work and offering an added U-value performance.
A timber stud application is also acceptable and easily used although the test results were obtained using steel stud.

Information on our Acoustic Quilt
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!
Environmental Information.
The quilting used in this product is a glass mineral wool product,
manufactured from silica sand, the Earth's most abundant naturally
occurring mineral. Glass mineral wool is one of the most
environmentally friendly insulation materials. Inorganic and completely
inert, over 70% of the raw material used in the production cycle are
recycled. This process does not include the use of CFC's, HCFC's or
other environmentally damaging gases.
Roll Size: 5m x 0.6m or 5m x 1.2m
Coverage: 3m² or 6m²
Thermal Resistance (R Value): 1.43 m2K/W
