Description

Acoustic Partition Roll is a flexible, resilient, unfaced roll of glass mineral wool. It is supplied in dimensions to suit studs at standard 600mm centres.

Application

Acoustic Partition Roll is designed specifically for the sound insulation of metal and timber stud partitions.

Using mineral wool as a sound absorbent layer in partitions will significantly improve their acoustic performance, whilst only adding minimally to the overall mass of the structure.

The mineral wool complements the plasterboard by absorbing airborne sound in the cavity and reducing reverberation. It also has the effect of reducing the hollow sound that can occur in partitions with unfilled cavities.

Metal stud partitions faced with standard 12.5mm plasterboard and infilled with Acoustic Partition Roll can meet the requirement for a 40 Rw dB sound reduction in accordance with Approved Document E of the Building Regulations

Standards

Knauf Acoustic Partition Roll is a noncombustible, inorganic glass wool, defined as mineral wool in BS 3533: 1981 and is manufactured in accordance with BSI Quality Assurance Standard BS EN ISO 9001: 2000
