Akoestikon Acoustic Studs

What it is and does:
Akoestikon Acoustic Studs are resilient mounting profiles that allow you to mount plasterboard panels against an existing wall or ceiling without a rigid connection. For example, you can shield a dividing wall with the neighbours so that less noise radiates from it. To make a retaining wall using Akoestikon Acoustic Studs, you need the following products:

• Akoestikon Acoustic Studs, made of two MDF slats with a layer of vibration insulation in between, so it is one whole. The rear slat has 5 small screw holes (pitch 5 mm). The front slat also has 5 holes, 10mm, for the screw bit.
• Akoestikon Insulation Wool, made of skin-friendly polyester wool. This material absorbs sound and also provides thermal insulation.
• Polypress Strips, vibration-isolating strips on which the Akoestikon Acoustic Studs rest and connect the plasterboards. These strips ensure that the retaining wall cannot touch the existing construction anywhere.

Applications
Akoestikon Acoustic Studs are very versatile, not only to soundproof against noisy neighbours, but also to insulate and soundproof hotel rooms, rehearsal and music rooms and studio construction. Even in spaces where privacy is important, such as a doctor's surgery or treatment room, you can (additionally) insulate the walls and ceiling with plasterboard mounted on Akoestikon Acoustic Studs. In these situations we also advise to look at the doors, these often turn out to be sound leaks after insulating with Akoestikon Acoustic Studs.

What do I need to soundproof a wall?

Example for a wall 700 cm wide and 274 cm high:

• Calculating Akoestikon Acoustic Studs:
  Line distance centre to centre 60 cm apart, two Intermediate rails above each other = 26 pieces.
  Dimensions of Akoestikon Acoustic Studs: 1370 x 60 x 60 mm or 1370 x 120 x 60 mm
• Calculating acoustic wool:
  Wall surface (width x height) = 19.18 m² = 37 pieces.
  Dimensions of Akoestikon wool: 1000 x 540 x 60 mm.
• Calculating Polypress Strips:
  Circumference of the wall (2 x width, 2 x height) = 19.48 m = 10 pieces.
  Dimensions of Agglomer Strips: 2000 × 50 × 10 mm.

Pay attention

• The Akoestikon Acoustic Studs rules are only suitable for indoor applications.
• The basic construction against which the system is fitted as an attachment system must be a closed construction.
• The supporting structure must be designed for the weight load of the Akoestikon Acoustic Studs.
• As a floating ceiling, mount the Akoestikon Acoustic Studs centre to centre 30 cm apart, as a wall 60 cm centre-to-centre.
