Sound Isolation Wall

These are walls that create an acoustical air gap on the mechanical room’s walls. They are installed with special brackets that include elastomeric elements to provide resilient mounting. Acrefine manufacturers AFR-WS type mounting bracket and AFR-WB type wall brace that are used in installing floating walls. Mounting brackets are attached directly to the main wall of the room, then a support frame is used to mount gypsum boards. The purpose of the floating wall is to create an air gap and not carry loads. Hence any wall mounted equipment should be supported directly through the main walls of the mechanical room. Very high levels of acoustical performance can be achieved when the above systems are used together and constructed properly. It is important to point out that acoustical performance depends on the resilience of the system. Therefore all penetrations and intersections with other surfaces must allow the floating system to float freely and have no rigid connections.
