Acoustic Plasterboard

Showing all 5 resultsSorted by popularity

Acoustic plasterboard (also called sound board) has a denser core than standard plasterboard, which reduces noise passing through walls and ceilings. It’s cut and installed like regular board, so it won’t slow the job down. Choose Soundshield to block sound between rooms or tenancies, or Createx and Creason perforated boards to absorb echo inside a room. Pair with acoustic insulation batts for best results.

FAQ:

Q: Does acoustic plasterboard work?

A: Yes. Its denser core reduces airborne noise such as voices and TV, and it performs best as part of a full wall system with insulation and sealed joints.

Q: How thick is acoustic plasterboard?

A: In Australia, acoustic plasterboard is most commonly available in 10mm and 13mm thicknesses. The 13mm sheets offer the highest level of sound reduction and are the standard choice for dedicated media rooms, inter-tenancy walls, and quiet zones.

Q: What is the difference between standard plasterboard and acoustic plasterboard?

A: The main difference is core density. Standard plasterboard has a lighter, aerated gypsum core designed for basic wall lining. Acoustic plasterboard features a heavily compacted, high-density gypsum core, often reinforced with fiberglass, specifically engineered to absorb and deflect sound energy.

Q: What’s the difference between sound-blocking and sound-absorbing plasterboard?

A: Sound-blocking plasterboard has a dense core that reduces noise passing between rooms. Sound-absorbing plasterboard is perforated to reduce echo inside a room. Use blocking board for privacy and absorbing board for room acoustics.
