noise insulation acoustic
Sound Service (Oxford) Ltd have been supplying soundproofing
products and sound insulation materials since 1969. During this time
they continue to add to and develop their range of soundproofing
materials, resulting in an extensive range of soundproofing products.
Their acoustic insulating materials are suitable for soundproofing a
room, floors (Acousticel
R10), soundproofing walls (Acousticel
M20AD), as well as sound insulating machinery, sound insulating
motor vehicles and many more potential applications. Sound Service
(Oxford) give soundproofing advice for any type of noise problem from
noisy neighbours to noisy machinery.
Sound insulating acoustic
insulation is available for noisy shower pumps and domestic appliances.
No matter what type of noise nuisance you have, we will have the sound
insulation solution. We stock and supply acoustic sound absorbing foams,
sound barrier mats, soundproofing mats, resilient insulation for
floating floors, acoustic insulation for walls including partitioning
walls and separating walls. Sound absorbing bass traps, sound absorbing
diffusers, anti-vibration materials,
soundproofing, sound absorbers, sound screens, acoustic screens,
acoustic absorbers, sound insulation for floors and acoustic insulation
for floors. Resilient bars for ceilings, acoustic tiles for ceilings and
walls, sound absorbing panels for walls, class c sound absorbers for
common areas of flats.
Ideal for insulating walls separating stairs and
hallways where space is a priority. Particularly useful for meeting Part
E building regulations for airborne noise control through a wall. A
great soundproofing for walls solution.
Acousticel M20 AD is designed to absorb and reduce
the amount of airborne noise that penetrate poorly insulated party
walls. Easy to fit, this 20mm thick insulation is simply glued to the
existing wall coupled with two layers of 12.5mm plasterboard bonded on
top and is an easy solution if you are disturbed by noise from your
neighbours.
Wallsorption sound absorbing acoustic wall panels
are a high specification acoustic panel system designed to extensively
transform open plan offices, conference suites, studios and interview
rooms into workable environments. Supplied with a fabric cover, they are
durable, fire resistant, visually pleasing and their sound absorbing
qualities offer excellent acoustic performance. We cover these in a
recycled fabric.
The
Wallsorption panels are finished in a high quality acoustically
transparent fabric available in 20 standard colours. We are proud to say
this fabric is recycled and is further testament to our commitment to
the environment. If required, the panels can also be used for displaying
posters as they easily take pins.
The
soundproofing mat is equal to lead of the same mass in effectiveness
and acts as a thin de-coupling sound barrier in stud walls, ceilings and
timber floors. More effective sound insulation can be achieved when it
is used as one layer between two sheets of plasterboard. SBM5
soundproofing mat is a heavy layer mineral loaded soundproofing mat
nominally 2mm thick with excellent sound insulating qualities which will
give significant sound loss improvements to lightweight structures when
used as an acoustic membrane. Also known as
sound barrier mat or acoustiblock.
Made from a recycled rubber, this sound proofing
isolator is engineered to reduce impact noise through a timber separated
floor and specifically designed to help bring a timber suspended floor
into Part E compliance for separating floors between new flats.
Independently tested, this acoustic insulation is the popular choice for
all flat conversions and complies with the latest Building Regulation
requirements. This unique resilient mat is ideal for soundproofing
flooring in existing flats, homes as well as a wide variety of other
domestic uses. It can be used to create an independent floating floor to
reduce impact and airborne noise nuisance. Made by Isolgomma, Italy it
is 100 % recycled.
This superb acoustic solution is designed to
improve both the impact and airborne noise transfer through floors. The
laminated composition provides maximum performance for minimum thickness
and combines excellent sound insulation with all the qualities of a good
carpet underlay. Quick and easy to install, it is easily cut and shaped.
Overall thickness is just 12mm so it minimises the increase in floor
level. This is a comparable product to
Acoustilay and is often known referred to as
Acousticlay.
This product is comprised of an 8mm layer of sound
absorbing chip foam bonded to a top layer of 5kg mineral loaded
soundproofing mat and a base layer of 3Kg mineral loaded soundproofing
mat. The base layer of barrier mat is designed to seal and dampen the
sound coming through the floor, the isolated top layer of barrier mat
reduces the sound penetration both ways and the sound absorbing chip
foam core dramatically absorbs and reduces impact noise transfer.
QuietFloor can be bonded to concrete floors to meet the new Approved
Document E Building Regulations for impact noise and is ideally glued
down using our special spray adhesive. We also advise incorporating it
with the steps and risers of communal stairs to comply with the latest
Document E requirements for noise control.
QuietBoard Acoustic Flooring is constructed from two
well-established building materials - wood particles and cement. A
revolutionary, waterproof, cement impregnated high-density acoustic
floor panel designed to improve the absorption of airborne noise
transfer through separating floors.
QuietBoard installed over the top of
Acousticel R10 resilient insulation provides a very efficient and
stable floating floor. Cement impregnated chipboard is now specified as
the best material for this application in the Approved Document E . It
is quick to install and is easily cut to size,
QuietBoard is a very dense product, light grey in colour and both
faces have a hard smooth flat surface. They are non-toxic, contain no
flammable materials and generate no toxic fumes during combustion.
Our white Acoustic Sealant is a one-part Fire
Retardant Water-based Acrylic Sealant. Exhibiting a good adhesion to a
wide variety of common building substrates without the need for a
primer. It can be painted with emulsion paints three hours after
application. When subject to flame our sealant will intumesce (expand
and char), thus blocking the passage of fire and smoke. Our
Acoustic Sealant is recommended for the perimeter sealing of floors
and in between the joists before installing our flooring products. This
seal makes the floor more airtight thus helping the main soundproofing
products being installed on top.
Melamine’s low density and flexibility provide a practical material,
convenient to handle, easy to cut and install, either to original
equipment or on-site projects. This outstanding versatility, coupled
with choice of complimentary acoustic materials, e.g. damping sheets,
barriers and facings, allows Melamine foam to be used in a wide range of
industrial and commercial applications where superior reverberation
control is required. For more info on this product click

Since wood is a natural product, our
Woodsorption range of acoustic wood panels creates a naturally
aesthetic solution to noise control. The unique features of these sound
absorbing wood panels give a warm organic appearance offering a finish
to compliment any area. Surface choices include real wood veneers, wood
print laminates and paint finished timber sound absorbing panels.
Woodsorption panels are suitable for almost every application
including use in schools, studios, reception areas, lecture theatres,
offices and commercial buildings.
Woodsorption panels are exceptionally durable and abuse resistant
making them particularly appropriate for areas that may require a high
degree of impact resistance such as sports and recreation halls, police
interview rooms, court rooms, offices, reception areas, factories and
workshops.
Woodsorption sound absorbing panels consist of a finishing surface,
base core board and black acoustic fleece backing. The base core board
is 18mm thick MDF sheet with a finish laminated to its front face and
black acoustic fleece adhered to its rear face. Woodsorption panels are
manufactured with tongue and groove joints. Thanks to the precision of
the tongue and grooves a perfect finish is achieved when Woodsorption
panels are installed.
Echosorption Plus also referred to, as
Echosorption II are stick-on acoustic tiles, which are extremely
lightweight and easy to install.
These sound absorbing tiles provide
a higher sound absorption performance.
Echosorption Plus acoustic tiles are particularly effective at
reducing reverberated noise. Their ease of application and durability
make them a popular choice for schools, offices, sports halls, music
studios, lecture theatres, multi-purpose halls, interview rooms and
shooting ranges. At only 30mm thick, these improved sound absorbing
Class 0 non-flammable sound absorbing tiles are ideal for fitting to
ceilings with minimum loss of height.
The panels are made up with a sound absorbing
acoustic mineral wool core faced with a highly efficient sound absorbing
painted surface. The tile is laminated to an aluminium foil backing to
enhance stability. The edges of each tile are chamfered so no jointing
strips are necessary.
Acoustic Plasterboard is high in mass and this
helps absorb sound energy, giving enhanced acoustic performance to the
wall & ceiling. Click the link above to see the product and it's
benefits.
PART E Compliant
As they are also a Class 'C' absorber they are
also suitable for the ceilings of stairways and other common ceiling
areas within flats to comply with the latest Building Regulation
requirements for sound absorption and for reduced reverberated noise.
Legislation has now been introduced to control
noise and reverberated sound in schools and other public buildings as
described in Building Bulletin 93 (BB93) as Part E of the Building
Regulations.
The Approved Document E also contains guidance on
the installation of sound absorbing insulation to common areas of
buildings such as found in flats. The easiest way to comply with these
new rules is to fit a Class C performance sound absorber on the ceilings
of these areas. The requirement is to fit a Class C sound absorber to
cover an area of not less than 50% of the ceiling area in the common
area of all floors including stairways.
Our Acoustic Quilt consists of a laminate of 25mm
Acoustic Fibreglass, 2Kg acoustic membrane and 25mm Acoustic Fibreglass.
The
Acoustic Quilt performs approx 4 times better than our Acoustic
Mineral Wool as it has a barrier layer sandwiched in the middle which
blocks airborne sound better than lead. The
Acoustic Quilt exceeds the new Document E Resistance to the Passage
of Sound' making it an attractive product for modern building
techniques.
Acoustic Quilt can up rate a typical 12.5mm partition by up to 16dB!
Acoustic Quilt can up rate a typical floor section by up to 13dB!
Environmental Information.
The quilting used in this product is a glass
mineral wool product, manufactured from silica sand, the Earth's most
abundant naturally occurring mineral. Glass mineral wool is one of the
most environmentally friendly insulation materials. Inorganic and
completely inert, over 70% of the raw material used in the production
cycle are recycled. This process does not include the use of CFC's,
HCFC's or other environmentally damaging gases.
Acoustic Membrane, an innovative material utilises
nano vacuum technology, synthetic rubber and special fillers producing a
revolutionary acoustic membrane. The
Acoustic Membrane is only 1.2mm thick and provides minimum loss of
room space for maximum noise reduction.
This award winning product is only 2Kg/ m² and
it’s easy to handle and carry. Work on soundproofing a ceiling can now
be carried out by a single person as the roll is simple to work with
making for a quick, easy, home improvement product.
The
Acoustic Membrane easily folds and bends round corners and edges to
protect against flanking sound. Not only is it versatile it boasts a
very high Performance noise reduction of (22dB Rw) for minimal thickness
and is well in excess of Part E of the Building Sound Regulations when
used in conjunction with other materials. The
Acoustic Membrane Complies with BSEN ISO 140.
Our Acoustic Laminate Underlay is designed
specifically to reduce the impact noise (walking/footfall) creating when
walking on a laminate, engineered wood and solid timber floors. When you
walk on these surfaces a large amount of impact as well as airborne
noise is created (due to the hard surface) this can often be a nuisance
to the people living below.
The
Laminate Underlay is made up of a 4.2mm layer of high density
resilient rubber sponge with a foil faced moisture barrier laminated to
one side. It can be easily cut with a knife or scissors and if used in
conjunction with our soundproofing mats it will provide both impact AND
airborne noise reduction through the floor with minimal height rise.
Down lighters in ceilings are widely used in
commercial buildings. Each ceiling is subject to fire regulations and
where applicable the ceiling construction needs to be fire rated.
However, once a hole has been made in the ceiling
for a down lighter, the integrity of the construction along with it's
ability to perform in the event of a fire can be reduced significantly.
To combat this we have introduced an
Acoustic Fire Hood to maximum protection for holes created by the
introduction of a down lighter and to allow for maximum ease of fitting.
In the event of a fire, the
Acoustic Fire Hood cover expands internally to fill all the
available space with a highly insulating fire resistant char. Thus, the
fire is unable to penetrate the hole and the cover is able to give
additional insulation protection to the ceiling void, reducing the
chance of heat build up and ignition of flammable materials such as
accumulated dust and other insulation methods. These
Acoustic Fire Hoods are available in many sizes to suit the varying
cut out space.

This is a substantial improvement in impact noise transfer
over not having an acoustic underlay and if soundproofing mats are used
in conjunction as well then this figure would increase.

Sound Service (Oxford) Ltd sells a range of simple
to install door kits.
This seal kit is designed to increase the rating
(up-rate) of a fire door using a range of non rebated seals that are
fitted around the head, jam and threshold of the door. A soundproofing
mat is then adhered to the door and the client then wood panels over it.
The seal kit should up rate the door by approx 35 db.
This seal kit is almost identical to seal kit 1
and is designed to up-rate a fire door using a range of non rebated
seals that are fitted around the head, jam and threshold of the door. An
additional seal is used to run down the meeting area where the two doors
meet allowing a tight seal to be made. A soundproofing mat is then
adhered to the door and the client then wood panels over it. The seal
kit should up rate the door by approx 35 db.
