Acoustic Performance
With acoustic design in schools
becoming increasingly stringent, the integration of glass and rock
mineral wool within plasterboard partitions is critical for
enhanced sound absorption, improving acoustic performance at a
broader range of frequencies.
The rationale for using Mineral Wool
for noise control
The sound absorption characteristics
of mineral wool make it ideal for use in modern buildings to comply
with sound insulation regulations. In addition, the thermal
properties of mineral wool provide a secondary benefit of
minimising heat loss either between adjoining rooms or between
floors within a building.
A further benefit is to minimise the
overall mass of the building, easing the construction
processes.
Buildings with built -up metal roofs
may need to incorporate noise control measures covering both sound
insulation & sound absorption not only to meet building
regulation requirements, but also Health and Safety and
Environmental Health Regulations.
