Quiet Zone
Itís happened to all of us. Coming home exhausted and longing for sleep only to be kept awake by loud music or a party of people in the next room. And no matter how hard you try, you just canít reduce the sound!
Thatís why noise control products like Pink® Batts® Silencer® and GIB® Noiseline® are such lifesavers. Acoustic insulation helps maintain peace and quiet: two key factors in creating a comfortable home.
Strategic use of acoustic insulation is an essential part of modern living. As the best chance to insulate correctly against sound is at the building stage, it is important to choose materials, such as Pink® Batts® Silencer® and Pink® Batts® Silencer® Midfloor, that will perform well, not just initially, but in the long term. People are now thinking less about cutting costs and more about creating a comfortable home.
How Sound Absorption Works
Pink® Batts® Silencer® and Pink® Batts® Silencer® Midfloor work by forcing sound waves that travel through it to bounce off the millions of fibres the insulation is made up of. The sound is forced to change directions millions of times and travel a much greater distance than if it travelled straight through the wall. *Every disruption to the sound wave courses it to loose energy and the sound becomes quieter.
Pink® Batts® Silencer® is a specialist acoustic insulation product. It is more dense to give it higher sound absorption proprieties. Pink® Batts® Silencer® also provides thermal insulation for internal walls.
Installed in interior wall cavities, Pink® Batts® Silencer® reduces noise transmission between rooms helping reduce unwanted noise within your home. Good effective sound insulation is an essential part of modern design and now means the babyís room can share a wall with a dining room.
Another specialist product, Pink® Batts® Silencer® Midfloor, is designed to decrease sound transmission between upstairs and downstairs in multi-story buildings.
