Acoustic Maxibric - Sustainable Building Solutions

Midland Maxibrick Brand Story
    Boral's new Midland Brick™ Acoustic Maxibrick will change the way you think about double clay construction.

Boral's cutting edge Acoustic Maxibrick leads the market in reducing sound transmission between separating walls, providing a solution for builders who need to comply with BCA standards.

Midland Brick™ developed the Acoustic Maxibrick in response to changes to the Building Code of Australia (BCA). Under the BCA standard, sound insulation is required for separating walls between adjoining dwellings to ensure sufficient protection is provided against airborne and impact generated noise. The Acoustic Maxibrick resolves this common issue without builders dramatically changing their original building plans.
 
 
  An advantage of clay bricks is their inherent mass, providing superior acoustic properties that reduce noise levels both outside and inside a home as well as between rooms.

Midland Brick™ Acoustic Maxibrick effectively outperforms other available wall systems in Western Australia as well as several other products on the market for sound reduction in construction. Testing carried out by Acoustic Laboratories Australia reveal that the Acoustic Maxibrick not only complies with but also exceeds the BCA standards, with the new wall system particularly useful in multi-story and multi-unit developments where a separating wall is required.

Major commercial builder Diploma Construction successfully used the Acoustic Maxibrick in a residential project at Ocean Keys Boulevard in Clarkson, WA. Geoff Simpson, Manager Residential was satisfied with the product - the building was independently tested by an acoustic consultant - and the results showed that when installed correctly, Acoustic Maxibrick achieved the acoustic levels stated in Midland Brick technical data.

The Acoustic Maxibrick is a cost effective, durable product that offers flexibility of design and straightforward construction and is just one of the ways Midland Brick™ is committed to providing builders, developers and consumers with superior product solutions for today’s building standards and practice.
