Pink Batts Silencer® deliver excellent acoustic performance for commercial and domestic applications. They are ideal for insulation in metal and timber stud wall systems, and as infill between floors and ceilings.
The building industry uses a 'Sound Reduction Index' or Rw, to measure the effectiveness of wall and floor acoustic insulation systems in reducing the transfer of noise. Basically, an Rw is the difference in the level of airborne sound measured in decibles (dB) from one side of a wall, floor or ceiling to the other. The higher the Rw, the less noise you'll hear from upstairs, downstairs or the next room. An un-insulated stud wall with core plasterboard has an Rw of 33, while the same wall insulated by Pink Batts Silencer has an Rw of 38.
Pink Batts Silencer are best installed when you are building a new home or extension as they are installed behind wall lining, between floors and above ceilings.
Pink Batts Silencer come in a range of sizes to suit various applications. The ceiling and upper floor joist or wall stud spacings will determine which batt you will need.
