Barrier: QuietWave® – Acoustic Barrier

Description

subh

QuietWave® assists in noise control and dampens sound vibration, which decreases the amount of sound transmission between the affected areas. QuietWave® acoustic plasterboard barrier is the most economic acoustic wall system available. The thinnest and lightest way to achieve the highest acoustic performance, QuietWave® is a class above minimum NCC requirements.

Scores & Test Results

subh

Acoustic Performance Index – the cost of the wall compared to acoustic performance, wall thickness and floor space cost. When Acoustica Projects’ concept of Acoustic Performance Index is applied to the QuietWave® wall system, the score is extremely high. The QuietWave® wall system is only 148mm wide and has an acoustic performance that can ONLY be matched by the best wall system at 280-300mm wide.

System 1 = QuietWave® sandwiched with 6.5mm plasterboard on both sides of a stud wall + 14kg/m3 insulation. Rw + Ctr = 41dB

System 2 = QuietWave® sandwiched with 13mm standard plasterboard on both sides of a stud wall + 14kg/m3 insulation. Rw + Ctr = 46dB

System 3 = QuietWave® sandwiched with 13mm Fyrchek plasterboard on both sides of a stud wall + 14kg/m3 insulation. Rw + Ctr = 51dB

Tests show that when sandwiched between two layers of 13mm Fire-check plasterboard the sound transmission loss achieved is equivalent to 5 layers of the same plasterboard.

The development of QuietWave® noise barrier has been achieved with a matching acoustic performance of R1,cw 27 for the 2.5kg/m2 (Wilkinson & Murray test results above). QuietWave® has been certified by the CSIRO Division of Materials Science and Engineering as Group 1 Fire Rated.
Our tests show that when QuietWave® is sandwiched between two layers of 13mm Fyrchek plasterboard, the Sound Transmission Loss (STL) achieves is equivalent to 5 layers of the same plasterboard.
