QuietWave® acoustic membrane

QuietWave acoustic plasterboard barrier is the most economic 6-star acoustic wall system available. The thinnest and lightest way to achieve the highest acoustic performance, QuietWave is a class above minimum NCC requirements.

Effective for low frequencies to counter everyday noise from home audio and theatre systems, QuietWave® consists of a flexible visco-elastic membrane and patented constrained layer membrane, combined with vibration damping material. Easily penetrated without compromising performance, a finished QuietWave® wall is solid and has similar resonance to masonry.

At just 1.2 mm thick QuietWave® provides a saving of 50% in the width of the wall against a comparable 6-star wall system and can be easily installed by just one person.

Acoustica’s QuietWave® noise barrier isolates noise and dampens sound vibration increasing the sound transmission loss. QuietWave® viscoelastic noise barrier parallels the theoretical performance of the ideal limp mass barrier.

The development of QuietWave® noise barrier has been achieved with a matching acoustic performance of R1,cw 27 for the 2.5kg/m2. 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. QuietWave® technology is incorporated into Acoustica’s range of acoustic products for walls, partitions, floors, ceilings and pipe lagging.
