Acoustic Quilt Information
Acoustic Quilt consists of a laminate of 25mm Acoustic Fibreglass, 2Kg acoustic membrane sound blocker and 25mm Acoustic Fibreglass.
Combined, these products give a superior level of sound absorption and also act as a very effective sound barrier stopping noise and reducing the amount of noise that passes through it.
It performs approx 4 times better than normal acoustic mineral wool and has a sound stopping barrier layer comparable to lead sandwiched in the middle which effectively blocks airborne sound.
Acoustic Quilt exceeds Part E Resistance to the Passage of Sound making it an attractive product for both new build and conversion of existing buildings into flats.
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!
