Acoustic Dry Walling
Babcock contacted us to assist with acoustic dry walling, sound proof door and window installation at Babcock in Nigel as part of their preparation for an expensive CNC installation.
Plans has already been drawn up and we were expected to do the installation as per their specifications provided. We had to adhere to their strict Health and Safety standards.
We firstly had to install a dual structure galvanized grid as the foundation for the acoustic dry walling.
Secondly we had to install the insulation and board the dry walling. The structure was then boarded with 2 x 12mm boards each side. Acoustic windows was then installed into the walls. A custom made roller door cladded with 0.5mm galvanized sheet and filled with noise reduction material and fitted with brush seals was fitted to the acoustic dry walling.
As can be seen the final product was not only functional but also rugged and perfectly suitable fr the industrial environment it was installed in.
The structure the was created from galvanized floor track which was fixed to the floor with nail in screws, aluminium natural anodized wall channel fitted to the ceilings and walls where required and galvanized studs as per supplier recommendation. Corner sections done with galvanized angle and all secured with drywall screws. Aluminium channels was used to trim the acoustic dry walling.
It needs to be noted that accuracy when constructing the structure is of utmost importance. If the structure is poorly constructed the end product will be of poor visual quality.After the acoustic dry walling structure was completed 12.5mm Gypsum board cladding was used.
Joint was then fiber taped and two coats Rhinoglide applied. Once dry, the joints was sanded to a smooth finish in preparation for painting.
Well done to the team for their achievement!!!
