Acoustic Pipe Lagging for Residential Noise Control by Pyrotek

Acoustic Pipe Lagging for Residential Noise Control by Pyrotek.

Unwanted plumbing noise can significantly impact comfort in high-density residential buildings. At a recent installation in Surfers Paradise, Pyrotek's Soundlag® acoustic pipe lagging was used to address intrusive noise from an inbound cold water pipe that had been disturbing apartment residents. Following installation, the unwanted noise was virtually eliminated, restoring a quieter living environment.

Soundlag is a high-performance composite acoustic lagging system developed to reduce wastewater noise from pipes, fan housings, and ducting in building and industrial environments. It combines a reinforced foil-faced mass-loaded vinyl (MLV) barrier with a decoupling layer of foam or glass wool. The dense MLV layer delivers substantial sound reduction, while the decoupling layer breaks the vibration path between substrate and barrier, minimising flanking noise through overlaps and penetrations.

Independently tested and Australian-made, Soundlag can reduce noise by up to 25 dB(A) and has demonstrated performance exceeding low-noise pipe systems by 4-5 dB(A). Soundlag 4525C meets BCA Section F5.6 requirements for both habitable and non-habitable rooms when installed in accordance with the specification. Its flexibility allows it to be easily cut and formed around complex pipework without cracking, delaminating, or compromising acoustic integrity.
