What is Baswa?
The BASWA acoustical plaster systems consist of microscopically porous surfaces applied onto a mineral wool panel designed to capture heat energy generated by high and low frequency sound energy colliding with the panel’s surface.
Can Baswaphon be painted?
Can they be painted? Will it affect the acoustical performance? BASWA acoustic does not believe owners and designers should be limited in choices of finish colors. BASWA Systems can be finished to match any color or multiple color gradients, tying the finished surfaces into the overall design aesthetic of the space.
What is Baswa Phon?
BASWA Phon is an acoustical plaster system that seamlessly integrates into any ceiling or wall to absorb sound and create an acoustically comfortable space that promotes wellbeing.
How do you make an acoustic plaster?
Acoustic plasters consist of a base layer of absorptive substrate panels, which are typically mineral wool, or a non-combustible inorganic blow-glass granulate. A first finishing layer is then applied on top of the substrate panels and when dried, produces a first layer of sound attenuation.
Does plaster absorb sound?
By absorbing sound waves, acoustical plaster makes conversation clearer, even in harsh situations, by reducing reverberation time.
What is acoustical drywall?
Acoustical gypsum board is for any application that requires enhanced soundproofing and sound control. Whether protecting an inside room from an outside noise, or noiseproofing an inside space, acoustic drywall is for wall assemblies and spaces requiring high sound transmission class (STC) performance.
What is an acoustic ceiling?
Acoustic ceilings are an easy fix to unappealing rooms. This type of suspended ceiling is made up of the stick-built grid system and acoustic ceiling tiles. It’s also called a lay-in ceiling, which is versatile, durable and cost-effective. Most ceiling tiles are made from mineral fiber, to aid in noise reduction.
What is acoustic plaster ceiling?
Sound absorbing plaster is a seamless and subtle noise control solution that can be applied to the walls and ceiling of practically any structure. It’s an excellent acoustical solution for curved surfaces such as vaults and domes.
What are the advantages of acoustic plaster?
Advantages of acoustic plaster Improves acoustics and thus speech intelligibility. Is suitable for a wide variety of substrates, such as walls and ceilings in many conceivable forms. Increases productivity and ensures a pleasant working and living environment.
How does acoustical plaster differ from standard gypsum plaster?
If you are looking to soundproof your walls, acoustic plasterboard, as the name suggests, is the better option when compared to normal plasterboard. The difference lies in the fact that acoustic plasterboard is thicker, has more mass(may even be reinforced with special additives) and hence, stops more noise.
Why is QuietRock not recommended for ceilings?
Because of the design of the QuietRock 510 to achieve its acoustical performance, this product is not suitable for installation on ceilings as it may sag over time. One work-around solution is to install a layer of 5/8″ standard drywall over the QuietRock 510 and stagger the seams to prevent the product from sagging.
Does QuietRock really work?
QuietRock can improve the soundproofing by 15 to 20 points on the STC scale, while it will take up to four sheets of drywall to have the same effect. If you’re doing both sides of a partition wall, that’s 2 sheets of QuietRock for 8 of the gypsum.
