Improving a room's acoustics without losing space, with R'Acoustic 10

Where ten millimetres are enough

A moderate nuisance, a room already furnished and carpeted, a need to correct reverberation rather than block noise coming from elsewhere: in those three cases ten millimetres do the job. They also suffice when the constraint is not acoustic but dimensional, under a floating floor or behind a skirting.

When to move up to twenty

As soon as the job is to treat noise crossing a wall, and not only to correct the acoustics inside a room. Mass counts for that, and twenty millimetres bring twice as much. A music room, a bedroom adjoining a living room, an office next to a family space all belong to the thicker version.

What the small thickness allows elsewhere

Ten millimetres pass where twenty do not: under an existing door nobody wants to plane, within the depth of a casing, behind a frame, or as a second layer on a ceiling from which nothing can be given up. It is often the only product compatible with the awkward point that caused the problem.

The question of fitting

Like its thicker version, R'Acoustic 10 performs better uncompressed. Under a floor covering it is therefore worth checking compatibility with the intended load and the type of laying, floating or bonded, before ordering.

The material

The R'Acoustic range is made from recycled textile. It is the one place in our catalogue where that statement applies: our reflective references are polyethylene faced with aluminium, and we would rather say so than maintain a convenient confusion.

The twenty millimetre version is presented on the R'Acoustic 20 page, and the aluminium faced version on the R'Acoustic Alu page.
