QUIETWAVE DRYWALL BARRIER
QuietWave® is a high performance drywall noise barrier that uses a 100% organic rubberised material to dampen the transfer of sound through a wall, floor, ceiling or door.
QuietWave® delivers six star acoustic performance, a class above BCA and NZBC requirements, from the thinnest possible wall system.
At just 1.2 mm thick QuietWave® is easily handled and can be installed by just one person. The acoustic 'fabric' is sandwiched between sheets of standard plasterboard at the time of lining the framework.
The QuietWave® flexible visco-elastic membrane can be penetrated without any degradation in performance.
The finished wall system has a solid feel and when impacted upon, sound resonates similar to a masonry wall.
QuietWave® has been certified by the CSIRO Division of Materials Science and Engineering as Group 1 Fire Rated
Tests are showing that when QuietWave® is sandwiched between two layers of 13mm Firecheck plasterboard, the Sound Transmission Loss (STL) achieves equivalent to 5 layers of the same plasterboard.
QuietWave® exceeds BCA and NZBC G6 minimum requirements for airborne sound insulation for a wall between attached dwellings meeting the highest possible AAAC acoustic rating of 6 stars Rw62 and Rw + Ctr=55 dB with the thinnest possible wall section of 148 mm.
QuietWave® increases the low frequency performance of the wall system to counter noise from entertainment sources such as home theatres and any other electronic entertainment noise.
QuietWave® also controls the large coincidence dip in the upper-mid frequency region of 2500 - 4000 Hz, which typically occurs in plasterboard walls.
QuietWave® wall system provides a saving of 50% in the width of the wall against a comparable 6 star rated wall system.
Gain 1 m² of floor-space for every 6.6 m length of wall, or reduce the overall footprint of the apartment block.
Save money with the industry’s lowest cost 6 star rated wall system.
Step up a class with the highest performance AAAC rating at a cost comparable to a 4 star wall system.
Exceeds BCA minimum requirements for airborne sound insulation for a wall between attached dwellings
