Acoustic insulation solutions for dry construction

Lightweight, high-performance solutions that are quick to install, designed to improve acoustic comfort in floors, suspended ceilings and walls without the need for traditional wet construction methods.

Dry construction systems use layered assemblies that enable faster installation, lower structural loads and greater design flexibility in both new-build and refurbishment projects.

Where we provide solutions

Dry construction

FLOOR STRUCTURE

We reduce impact noise transmission between different floors of a building

Dry construction

SUSPENDED CEILING

We enhance acoustic insulation by treating the underside of the floor structure

Dry construction

WALL

We improve acoustic insulation against airborne noise between adjacent rooms.

Why acoustic insulation is essential in dry construction

Dry construction offers fast installation, low weight and considerable design flexibility. However, the reduced mass of these layered assemblies makes careful acoustic design essential.

Integrating resilient and acoustic insulation materials helps reduce the transmission of impact and airborne noise, improving indoor acoustic comfort and helping achieve the performance requirements of each project.

SPEED

Shorter installation times

LIGHTWEIGHT

Reduced structural loads

FLEXIBILITY

Customised building assemblies

COMFORT

Acoustic performance

Where can dry construction acoustic solutions be used?

Timber buildings

Lightweight systems compatible with timber and CLT structures, where keeping permanent loads to a minimum is essential.

Vertical extensions

Ideal for vertical extensions where every kilogram matters and the overall weight of the building assembly needs to be kept to a minimum.

Refurbishment projects

Ideal for upgrading existing buildings quickly while minimising construction time and invasive work.

Projects with structural load restrictions

Solutions that improve acoustic comfort without placing excessive additional loads on the existing structure.

The benefits of acoustic insulation in dry construction

Acoustic comfort

Dry construction systems allow specific materials to be incorporated to improve performance against airborne sound and impact noise.

Quick installation

With no drying time required, dry construction systems can be installed faster than traditional wet methods.

Design flexibility

Building assemblies can be tailored to acoustic requirements, even during refurbishment projects, using lightweight, non-invasive solutions.

Greater sustainability

Combining these systems with recycled or recyclable acoustic insulation materials helps reduce the building’s environmental impact.

Acoustic insulation solutions for dry floor structures

Our dry floor solutions improve acoustic insulation against impact and airborne noise through lightweight, high-performance systems suitable for both new-build and refurbishment projects.

By combining dry floor assemblies with resilient impact noise insulation materials, we can achieve high acoustic performance with minimal build-up thickness and reduced structural loads, even in challenging applications such as timber buildings, vertical extensions and renovation projects.

Our acoustic insulation solutions for dry screed systems are designed to provide effective noise reduction, even where installation thickness is limited, while ensuring high mechanical stability.
