Insulco insulation, acoustics & more
Recent acoustic testing has proven what was always suspected - Insulco Acousti-Therm batts provide an equivalent performance
to acoustic Rockwool batts.
In some pockets of Australia there has been a belief that rockwool, with its higher density, will provide a greater acoustic
performance when used in wall partitions than glasswool insulation products. Recent field testing conducted by Insulco suggests
this is not the case when specially formulated Acousti-Therm is used.
This means that Architects and Acoustic Consultants can specify Insulco Acousti-Therm with confidence. Acousti-Therm features
significant benefits over traditional rockwool products - it is more cost effective to use, is lighter in weight, easier to
handle and more compact to transport. Further, Acousti-Therm is labeled with the product's thermal performance (R value) which
allows it to be used to meet the BCA insulation requirements when used in external walls or ceilings.
Acousti-Therm batts can be used in external walls and ceilings insulate against noise while effectively combating heat gain in
summer and heat loss in winter. They are also very effective at controlling noise transfer within the home, allowing rooms which
are likely to generate noise to be isolated. This is gaining favour with homeowners installing home theatre systems or wanting to
control the noise emanating from ensuites, laundries or teenage bedrooms! Acousti-Therm can also be used to control transmission
noise between the floors of a two storey house.
Insulco also have the ability to provide an acoustic prediction on almost any wall or floor/ceiling system with its unique
software program, Acousti-Max. Insulco Acousti-Max is the most sophisticated program for the prediction of noise transmission
loss in walls and floor/ceiling systems. An essential tool for estimating the Transmission Loss (TL) over a range of frequencies,
as well as Weighted Sound Reduction Indices of STC and Rw, as required by the Building Code of Australia (BCA).
