45KG DENSITY INSULATION SLABS

45kg/m³ acoustic insulation slabs are the low level insulation density slabs. Although, those slabs still have higher density than other forms of insulation unlike thermal insulation which is lower in density and supplied in rolls. When you normally use rolls for floors, slabs are normally for walls. In fact, it’s the density that marks out this type of soundproof insulation from other slabs of insulation. 45kg/m³ density slabs are ideal for use in residential buildings such as home offices, studies, bedrooms, bathrooms, media and gaming rooms. The solution is suitable for application in walls, floors and lofts to control home acoustics. It is important to remember that doubling up on thicknesses will not offer double the level of soundproofing. 

DENSITY EXPLANATION

In the context of insulation materials, density—measured in kilograms per cubic metre (kg/m³)—refers to how much the material weighs if shaped into a cube one metre wide, high, and deep (1m³). This measurement is used to classify different insulation products and gives a good indication of their performance characteristics.

Acoustic slabs come in a wide range of densities, typically from 45kg/m³ to 100kg/m³. The denser the slab, the more mass it contains, which makes it more resistant to sound waves and vibrations. As a result, greater density directly translates into improved soundproofing performance.
