Acoustic Absorbation
Acoustic Absorption
Principle
Acoustic absorption is fundamental in designing interior spaces, whether for new constructions or renovations. It aims to limit the propagation of unwanted sounds by blocking external noise while addressing internal reverberations. Traditionally, acoustic insulation relied on the law of mass: the heavier and thicker a material, the better it insulated against noise. However, modern Knauf systems go beyond this approach by optimizing both insulation and acoustic correction with lightweight, effective solutions.
Knauf offers innovative solutions that meet both these challenges through the "mass-spring-mass" principle for insulation and acoustic correction systems to improve the sound quality of spaces.
Acoustic Insulation: Protecting Spaces
Our plasterboard partition systems are designed to offer optimal sound insulation, with performance ranging from 39 dB to 70 dB. They also reduce the structural load with a maximum thickness of 30 cm and a weight of only 70 kg/m². These systems ensure significant reduction of external and internal noise, guaranteeing comfort and tranquility for occupants, even in noisy environments.
Acoustic Correction: Optimizing Sound Quality
Once acoustic insulation is in place, it's crucial to treat the internal acoustics to prevent reverberation effects. Without adequate correction, sounds can bounce off hard surfaces, leading to unpleasant echoes and poor intelligibility of conversations and performances.
To address this need, Knauf offers a comprehensive range of acoustic ceilings, providing aesthetic and high-performance solutions adapted to every type of space:
- Perforated plasterboard ceilings:
- Designed to effectively absorb sounds while maintaining a clean, modern design.
- Modular perforated plasterboard ceilings:
- Flexible and high-performing, these systems adapt to a wide variety of projects, combining functionality and aesthetics.
- Wood wool panel ceilings:
- Natural and ecological, these panels offer a sustainable solution for acoustic correction, while adding a touch of warmth and style to spaces.
- Modular mineral fiber panel ceilings:
- Ideal for maximizing acoustic absorption while offering a wide range of finishes to seamlessly integrate into any environment.
