Quietwave® reduces noise between rooms or spaces

Acoustica’s QuietWall system incorporating QuietWave^® delivers six star acoustic performance, a class above the BCA requirements, from the thinnest possible wall section of 148 mm.

Pictured on below are three types of wall construction to stop sound from transfering between rooms or spaces. The wall containing Quietwave^®, pictured in the middle, is both the thinnest and the most effective. The wall is constructed from a single Quietwave acoustic membrane between two layers of 16mm plasterboard attached to each side of a staggered 90mm stud partition wall. 32kg 50mm acoustic batts fill also each cavity.

Technical Information

The design exceeds BCA minimum requirements for airborne sound proofing insulation for a wall between attached dwellings. This wall design meets the highest possible AAAC acoustic rating of 6 stars . Rw62 and Rw + Ctr = 55 dB. It's also the most economic 6 star rating wall system available.

The building code of Australia (BCA 2004) acoustic requirements introduced new and more onerous acoustic standards of Rw + Ctr = 50 dB for party walls between apartments, townhouses and other attached dwellings. Acoustica’s QuietWave^® wall system not only meets the minimum requirements of the new BCA code (equivalent to AAAC 5 star rating) but is a class ahead at AAAC 6 stars.

Acoustica’s QuietWave^® flexible visco-elastic membrane consists of a patented constrained layer membrane, combined with vibration damping material ‘floating’ elements. At just 1.2 mm thick it is easily handled and can be installed by just one person.

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^® 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.
