Acoustic Insulation
Mineral wool insulation helps absorb airborne sound within wall cavities.
Resilient Bars
Separates plasterboard from the frame to reduce sound transfer.
Double Board Systems
Additional board layers increase mass and improve performance.
Twin Frame Systems
Provides some of the highest levels of sound reduction available.

Important Information
Acoustic performance depends on complete system construction, including stud size, insulation, plasterboard specification, fixing methods and service penetrations. The systems shown are intended as guidance only.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is an acoustic partition?
An acoustic partition is designed to reduce sound transmission between adjacent spaces.
How do resilient bars work?
Resilient bars help isolate plasterboard from the frame, reducing vibration transfer and improving acoustic performance.
Can fire rated systems also provide acoustic performance?
Yes. Many modern drylining systems are designed to provide both fire and acoustic performance.
