New Building Material - Soundlite

Acoustic barriers

“Living next to a noisy neighbor could influence your comfort level, it could literally make life unbearable but what do we do?”

This was a question posted to me by email from an architect Rey, and the answer is … !

I have taken some time to ask architectural professionals for their advice and even did some research myself. The product market has such a big variety to choose from but what has been used and did it work?

A good product I came across is ‘Soundlite’. 

This is in the same range as the ‘Aerolite’ I discussed previously as a thermal barrier in roofs.

Surprisingly enough this product is:

• ·         Light weight
• ·         Good acoustic properties
• ·         Safe material to use
• ·         Good thermal resistance

…and the list goes on…

This is also a non-combustible base board and therefore it is a “Fire happy Product”

It is used in all applications such as commercial, domestic and industrial.

For those interested in specifying the product:

Install (25/40)mm thick "Soundlite" acoustic suspended ceiling tiles in (Coral/Ripple) vinyl facing complete with T sections, hangers, hold down clips etc. Installation strictly in accordance with manufacturer's detail & specification.

This is the product when installed, acting as a thermal as well as acoustic barrier within a building.
