QuietWave® Drywall Acoustic Barriers
QuietWave® is a high performance plasterboard noise barrier that delivers exceptional performance due to it’s patented constrained layer membrane.
Acoustica’s QuietWall system incorporating QuietWave® delivers six star acoustic performance, a class above the BCA requirements, from the thinnest possible wall.
- Exceeds BCA minimum requirements for airborne sound proofing insulation for a wall between attached dwellings
- Meets the highest possible AAAC acoustic rating of 6 stars
- Rw62 and Rw + Ctr = 55 dB
- With the thinnest possible wall section of 148 mm
- 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.
QuietWave® also controls the large coincidence dip in the upper-mid frequency region of 2500 - 4000 Hz, which typically occurs in plasterboard walls.
