British Gypsum - Sound solution for corridors
British Gypsum has introduced a 900mm wide
addition to its Gyptone perforated acoustic ceiling board range,
which makes it far easier to meet Part E acoustic requirements
in narrower common area corridors of modern apartment
developments.
Developed following consultation with house builders, the new
board is designed for the growing number of typically 900mm –
1000mm wide corridors, where current installation practice
involves cutting down standard 1200mm wide boards. Because of
the all-over perforation pattern of these specialist acoustic
boards, making-good and jointing the cut-to-width boards is a
time consuming and expensive process, which can leave a
less-than-perfect finish.
The new Gyptone board has an attractive QUATTRO 45 pattern of
full-depth perforations which, combined with an acoustic tissue
backing, provides a very high level of acoustic performance
meeting Class C absorption standards. The surface pattern has
been designed to co-ordinate with the standard Gyptone QUATTRO
41 pattern, which is popular in larger open areas.
For corridors over 900mm wide, strips of solid board can be
added at each side of the new board, to meet any width
requirement.
New Gyptone QUATTRO 45 board, which can also be used anywhere
that a Class C absorber is required, is part of a range of
Gyptone tiles, planks and boards, which combine a wide choice of
modern geometric patterns with high levels of acoustic
performance for prestige applications where appearance and
aesthetics are key.
