By laminating an acoustic barrier membrane between two layers of acoustic grade mineral wool, the sound reduction performance is boosted significantly. The mineral wool absorbs sound, while the acoustic membrane blocks it.

The incorporation of an acoustic membrane gives this premium acoustic quilt up to four times the effectiveness of normal acoustic mineral wool, making it a superb product for reducing and blocking airborne sound.

A highly versatile product, it is designed to be suspended and friction fitted between the studs in metal or timber partitioning systems, suspended between the joists of a timber floor or laid over ceilings.

High acoustic performance, combined with an overall thickness of 52mm means effective sound suppression with economic use of available cavity space

JCW Silent Board Build Up

We call this high performance system our JCW Home Studio Wall System because the sound reduction experienced is similar to recording studio quality.

It uses a range of highly effective acoustic products in combination to massively upgrade the acoustic performance of walls in every type of domestic dwelling, making it great for creating a music room.

The system involves creating a new separating wall on top of the existing wall.

Firstly timber stud battens are screwed to the existing wall. Then the newly created cavity is in-filled with JCW Easy Fit Acoustic Slab, then a layer of JCW Acoustic Silent Board is added and over this a finishing layer of JCW Acoustic Plasterboard applied.

Anyone with an average level of DIY experience should be able to complete the work involved.
