    DESCRIPTION

    Our 12.5 mm thick sound plasterboard sheet is engineered to deliver superior acoustic performance for walls and ceilings. With a high-density core and robust construction, this acoustic plasterboard is ideal for residential and commercial applications where noise control and sound insulation are critical.

    Why Choose Acoustic Plasterboard / Sound Plasterboard?

    Acoustic plasterboard (sound plasterboard) offers enhanced sound insulation compared to standard plasterboard. It reduces airborne noise transfer through partitions, ceilings, and walls—perfect for media rooms, offices, multi-storey buildings, and any environment where acoustic comfort matters.

    Key Features & Acoustic Highlights

    • Thickness: 12.5 mm (standard sheet size) for acoustic applications.
    • Dimensions: 2400 mm × 1200 mm sheet size for large surface coverage.
    • High density core: Enhanced mass for superior sound reduction compared to regular plasterboard.
    • Acoustic performance: Engineered to improve sound insulation in partitions and ceilings.
    • Fire performance: Suitable for applications where fire protection is required alongside acoustic control.
    • Finish ready: Smooth surface ready for jointing, plastering, or direct decoration.

    Typical Applications

    • Internal partition walls in offices, flats, duplexes, and hotels.
    • Ceilings in multi-storey buildings and between floors.
    • Media rooms, home cinemas, or rooms requiring acoustic isolation.
    • Stud wall constructions where improved sound insulation is needed.
    • Refurbishment projects to upgrade noise control and comfort.

    Performance in Practice

    Acoustic plasterboard improves the mass and density of walls and ceilings, reducing sound transmission. This leads to quieter spaces, especially beneficial in shared or multi-occupancy environments.

    The 12.5 mm 2400 × 1200 sheet size reduces the number of joints and speeds installation while maintaining acoustic integrity.

    Installation Tips & Considerations

    • Fix sheets using recommended acoustic fixings to walls or ceiling frameworks.
    • Stagger sheet joints and seal perimeters with acoustic sealant to avoid noise flanking.
    • Ensure secure and continuous attachment to the framework to prevent vibration or squeaks.
    • Use insulation or resilient channels in conjunction with the boards for maximum acoustic performance.

    Sound Plasterboard / Acoustic Plasterboard — Frequently Asked Questions

    1. What is the difference between acoustic plasterboard and standard plasterboard?

    Acoustic plasterboard (sound plasterboard) has a denser core and higher mass, helping block airborne sound and improve insulation.

    2. When should I choose sound plasterboard?

    Choose sound plasterboard when noise control is a priority—such as in party walls, media rooms, shared flats, hotels, and commercial offices.

    3. Can acoustic plasterboard be used in ceilings as well as walls?

    Yes. Its sheet size (2400 × 1200 mm) and high density make it ideal for both walls and ceilings requiring sound insulation.

    4. How should I install sound plasterboard for best results?

    Install with minimal joints, stagger sheets, seal all perimeters, and use acoustic fixings or isolation elements as needed to maintain acoustic performance.

    5. Does acoustic plasterboard replace insulation?

    While acoustic plasterboard improves airborne sound insulation, insulation in cavities or resilient channels is recommended for maximum sound reduction.

    6. Is sound plasterboard fire-rated?

    Many acoustic plasterboards incorporate fire rating features. Check the manufacturer’s datasheet for specific classification.

    7. How does acoustic plasterboard support environmental performance?

    By reducing noise transfer, it improves occupant comfort and helps meet acoustic compliance standards, such as Part E of the Building Regulations.
