Acoustic insulation

Do right by your walls - Sound proofing for your walls

Call this music? Your walls are fed up with the same old tune from next door. An acoustic plasterboard will help cut out the noise >

Sound proof your home with the right plasterboard

Build acoustic insulation into your walls or ceilings by using our specialist acoustic plasterboard. Installed with components which prevent the transfer of airborne sound, it is denser than a standard plasterboard and can control noise disturbance caused by TV's, home sound systems or just general day-to-day life.

In older properties, it is ideal as a ceiling between flats or as a wall lining for party walls. For any type of project it is used to control excessive noise from rooms such as home cinemas, music rooms or music studios.

Solving acoustic problems with plasterboard

Sound proofing solutions with plasterboard

1. Control noise from above

Modern flats need to reach strict sound transfer levels. However, in older properties, the sound barrier can be as little as the floorboards in the room above and the Standard plasterboard on your ceiling.

Our simple retrofit solution can be easily installed to provide a significant improvement in the level of noise coming from the room above. It requires:

dB Board, a specialist acoustic plasterboard
Glass mineral wool
A simple Resilient Bar component to provide an acoustic break between two surfaces
An acoustic sealant

2. Control internal noise

A simple internal/dividing partition can drastically improve acoustic insulation in rooms within homes and between dwellings in multi-residential properties. It simply requires:

dB Board, an specialist acoustic plasterboard U-track and C-studs
25mm glass mineral wool
An acoustic sealant

3. Control noise from neighbours

Upgrading the acoustic performance of an existing masonry or block wall can be done using the Dryliner Channel System, creating a 50mm cavity filled with 25mm glass mineral wool and two layers of 12.5mm dB Board.

It is a cost-effective solution on any external or dividing wall between dwellings, and will cut out noise from audio systems, traffic and loud conversation.

GTEC dB Board

Our acoustic plasterboard is called GTEC dB Board, identified by its distinctive blue colour. The board is stronger and harder than Standard plasterboard and due to its density, is 30% heavier.

GTEC dB Plasterboard

The level of noise created is measured in decibels (or dB). At 30 RwdB, normal conversation can be distinguished. At 45 RwdB, loud conversation cannot be heard and at 50 RwdB, shouting can be heard but not distinguished. A single layer system of our 15mm board will:

Cut-out noise 49 Rw dB sound insulation
Achieve 30 minutes fire resistance from a single layer partition system
Meets and exceeds Part E Building Regulations

Siniat Solutions Residential Case Study James Lea

James Lea
Homeowner, Camberwell, London

“Our house is next door to a taxi rank. The previous owner had said they’d invested in sound insulation but it wasn’t enough to keep out the high frequency radio noise and loud talking.

We met Siniat at the Homebuilding and Renovating Show and they explained that their products – a sound insulating plasterboard used with a special acoustic bracket – would prevent the reverberation between our wall and next door. It's made a real difference to our lives.”
