WINDOWS
Acrylic Insulating Window
SoundblockTM Insulating Window System works very simply by installing a PVC sub frame on the inside of your window.
Acoustic Aluminium Window
Reduces the transfer of noise from one room to another, and from outside to inside. These windows can be specially manufactured to meet specific size requirements.
Noise can be reduced by up to 70% or 41dB using these products as an add-on glazing system.
DOORS
Acoustic Aluminium Doors
Reduce the transfer of noise from one room to another, and from outside to inside. These doors can be specially manufactured to meet specific size requirements. Noise can be reduced by up to 70% using these products as an add-on glazing system.
Acoustic Doors and Seals
All aluminium seals are easy to install and are adjustable by concealed fixing slots. These multiblade seals considerably reduce the leakage of any noise and air movement and are primarily used with solid timber doors.
The timber seal when installed on a timber jamb can be painted to blend in with the door opening.
WALLS
If noise from your neighbours is intrusive, it is probably coming through the wall. Improving walls acoustically is relatively a simple job.
One solution is to batten the wall, and install Barrierboad to the battens.
This method will reduce the room size by approx. 60mm on each wall insulated but after matching cornice is installed and painting complete, it will be hard to detect that anything has changed.
The reduction of noise through the insulated walls will be in the vicinity of 70%.
FLOORS
Impact noise is a major problem with floors where carpet is not installed. This can be a problem in residential units as overhead footsteps are transmitted as noise to the unit below.
There are various methods to significantly reduce this impact noise and the selection of materials depends on the type of floor - slate, timber, tiles etc.
Acoustic underlay can be installed as part of a staged noise reduction procedure. The underlay acts as an absorber and can be placed between concrete and a timber floor surface. The underlay comes in 2mm and 5mm thick foam or under carpet use our rubber and flexible bonded vinyl sheet.
The reduction of noise through the insulated floor will be in the vicinity of 70%.
PIPES
Pipe noise is commonly the noise breaking out through the surface of a pipe. This may be a problem from toilets and floor waste systems.
Wrapping pipes with a flexible barrier material reduces the noise. The material is made of hydrolysis-resistant foam and flexible loaded vinyl and protected by tough reinforced foil.
Soundblock pipe wrap meets the requirements of the Building Code of Australia.
CEILING
The main concern with ceilings is loud noise from above. Acoustic control methods are very similar to those for walls.
One method of control is to install a supplementary ceiling by adding insulation and battening out and installing Barrierboard.
If walls are adequately insulated but the ceiling is not, cross-talk can be an issue. Cross-talk is the noise that travels over the wall through the ceiling, which is the weakest link. Soundblock barrier material can be used to address this common problem. It is also suitable for ceiling voids in offices.
MACHINERY
Noise from machinery, plant rooms and air-conditioning units can be reduced using custom-built noise control enclosures. Noise control enclosures provide high levels of noise reduction and can be adapted to most situations.
The enclosure is usually made of sheet metal with internal insulation. Care is taken to ensure airflow is adequate for good function of the enclosed equipment.
Enclosures are designed and built to meet all legal requirements.
RESTAURANTS
Noise reverberation is a concern in many of today's modern restaurants where hard surfaces prevail.
Methods of reducing this intrusive noise can be as simple as adding acoustic-absorbent panels to the walls and/or ceilings.
These panels consists of a moisture resistant absorptive foam and can be covered with a decorative material which blends into the decore.
