Product Review - Knauf Drywall
Knauf beats airbourne sound - Knauf Drywall
Knauf Drywall is lending its expertise to developers seeking to optimise accommodation and quality in buildings where ground space is at a premium.
One example of this is its work at a landmark residential tower on Liverpool's waterfront. In this case a slim 130mm separating wall was used to save valuable space while also meeting fire resistance and acoustic requirements.
Alexandra Tower at Princess Dock has separating walls that provide 120 minutes' fire resistance and 60dB RW airborne sound reduction between apartments. Contracts Director for dryline contractor, Mansell Finishes, Phil Bartley, said the 130mm construction exceeded requirements in on-site acoustic testing.
