Acoustic Insulation
Help reduce the movement of sound through walls, floors and ceilings with acoustic insulation
Controlling how sound moves through a residential building or commercial property can help to improve wellbeing and comfort for those inside. Isover insulation can contribute to acoustic performance in applications from partition and party walls to metal and timber framed walls, as well as cladding.

The benefits of acoustic insulation
Whether it’s for commercial or residential applications, mineral wool insulation with acoustic properties can help reduce sound transmission between adjoining spaces when used in a well-designed system. Let’s look at the core elements.
The non-continuous structure of the glass fibres that make up glass mineral wool impede the passage of sound. This can be used in systems to reduce airborne sound transmission and improve acoustic insulation when installed in accordance with the manufacturer’s system installation guidance. For our system information, please refer to the British Gypsum White Book specification selector.
The tightly packed fibres in mineral wool helps to absorb sound energy and low-frequency sounds, ideal for noisy places such as multioccupancy flats, busy public spaces and schools.
By reducing the movement of noise through walls, floors and ceilings, acoustic insulation can help create a more comfortable environment for occupants.
