Fire safety

Fire safety is critical for any high-rise development.

Acoustics

Acoustic comfort

Residential developments, offices, and high-rise hotels all have a common purpose – to create a comfortable space for occupants.

Knauf acoustic wall and ceiling solutions offer high sound attenuation to minimise unwanted noise between rooms.

Some of our products also deliver enhanced acoustic performance, helping to provide the best possible sound isolation and privacy in residential or commercial construction.

Our rock mineral wool insulation also allows more sound waves to be absorbed, thanks to the random orientation of its fibres. Mineral wool is the most effective insulant for reducing sound transmission and reverberation.
