How Does the Isover APR 1200 Acoustic Partition Roll Work?
The Isover APR 1200 roll works by absorbing airborne sound waves and reducing their transmission through walls, partitions, and floors. Its fibrous structure traps and dampens sound energy, significantly lowering noise levels within a space.
-
Sound Absorption: The dense, fibrous composition of the roll captures sound energy, effectively dampening vibrations and reducing reverberation.
-
Barrier to Airborne Noise: Its non-porous structure prevents sound from passing through voids in walls or floors.
-
Enhanced Acoustic Integrity: The roll's friction-fit design ensures a snug, secure fit, eliminating gaps that could compromise performance.
How Effective is the Isover APR 1200 Low Density Acoustic Roll at Stopping Nuisance Noise?
The Isover APR 1200 is highly effective at reducing noise levels across various frequencies, making it ideal for managing both airborne and impact noise:
-
Airborne Noise Reduction: Provides a measurable reduction in sound transmission through internal stud walls and timber joist separating floors. It can reduce noise levels by up to 3-4 dB when correctly installed.
-
Reverberation Control: Helps reduce echo and reverberation in open spaces, ensuring a quieter and more comfortable environment.
Although lighter than some high-density mineral wool products, Isover APR 1200 is ideal for applications where weight and flexibility are priorities. For maximum soundproofing, it can be combined with other acoustic materials.
Where Can the Isover APR 1200 Acoustic Roll Be Used?
Isover APR 1200 is a versatile solution suitable for a wide range of applications, including:
-
Internal Stud Walls: For both timber and metal-framed partitions.
-
Floors: Effective in separating timber joist floors or internal floor structures.
-
Ceilings: Can be installed to improve acoustic performance in ceiling constructions.
-
Residential Properties: Ideal for soundproofing bedrooms, home offices, and shared walls.
-
Commercial Spaces: Suitable for offices, retail spaces, and meeting rooms.
-
Educational Buildings: Reduces noise transmission in classrooms and study areas.
