These slabs are particularly suitable for acoustic infills in partitions and ceilings, providing a high level of control of both airborne and structure-borne sound. They are also suitable for acoustic absorption in the linings of buildings.
Mineral slabs of a density of 45 kg/m³ have now become the de-facto standard for normal domestic insulation purposes.
Densities above this level are particularly good for use in sound studios and commercial and industrial areas where, for example, machine noise is prevalent. .
