overview
This thinner Part E system for separating walls complies with the Building Regulations for noise control through any separating wall. The preferred choice for all construction companies looking for an acoustic solution that will not take up too much space. Ideal for soundproofing party walls from stairs and halls where space may be at a premium.The system uses 20mm thick M20AD, a recycled rubber high density sound absorbing product combined with two layers of Acoustic Plasterboard.The entire system takes up less than 2 inches (50mm) of space so is also ideal for all domestic noise issues through walls.

M20AD Information
M20AD is designed to absorb and reduce the amount of airborne noise which penetrates poorly insulated party walls. This due to its unique combination of high mass without losing its sound absorbing properties. Easy to fit, this 20mm thick insulation is simply glued to any wall using our Sta-Put special adhesive and with two layers of 12.5mm Acoustic Plasterboard bonded on top and is an easy solution if you are disturbed by moderate noise from your neighbours.
It is ideal for insulating walls separating stairs and hallways where space is at a premium. Particularly useful for meeting Part E building regulations for airborne noise control through most walls.
The soundproofed wall shown in the detail below had a sound insulation value of 48dB DnT,W+Ctr which is approx. an 87% reduction in sound transmission and complies with the requirements of the latest Approved Document E Building Regulations. It is therefore, ideal for sound proofing walls separating stairs and hallways where space is limited.

This system is designed to comply with Part E of the building regulations to control noise through separating walls. The type of noise these regulations are addressing is normal household noise that would not normally expect to be heard. Loud noise or low frequency thump such as from stereo systems is more difficult to address and can only be treated with a much thicker sound insulation system such as can be achieved with our independent soundproofed stud system.

PLEASE BE AWARE THESE PANELS WEIGH 15kg EACH SO YOU MAY REQUIRE HELP LIFTING.
