The selection of a particular acoustic wall system is usually determined by BCA (Building Code of Australia) requirements and the required Rw rating. While any given stud and board combination will have an Rw rating, products selected for acoustic walls are typically selected based on the acoustic performance of the entire system once Fire Rating has been allowed for. There are many ways to enhance the acoustic performance of a wall system, including selection of the Siniat Acoustic Stud or a discontinuous construction.
The Siniat Acoustic Stud has a special profile that can provide the acoustic performance of a staggered stud wall with the ease of construction of a standard stud wall. Use Siniat Acoustic Studs to create robust walls with a minimal footprint that easily achieve great acoustic separation. Refer to the Siniat Blueprint Technical Manual for wall systems including a range that efficiently meets the acoustic requirements of the BCA (Building Code of Australia).
The Siniat Acoustic Stud System is designed for the fixing of Siniat plasterboard to both sides of the stud as opposed to a staggered stud system where plasterboard is fixed to only one side of the stud, the benefit being the increased wall heights which are achievable with a system where the studs are sheeted directly to both sides.
Being simpler to install it has reduced construction costs compared to a staggered stud system providing similar performance while reducing the number of studs required. In comparative tests conducted by the CSIRO, the Rw rating was increased by 5 and the Rw+Ctr improved by the same. The Acoustic Stud was tested with various configurations and plasterboard types and results up to Rw60 were achieved.
