The changes in our lifestyle and living habits have meant that today more than ever, noise is intruding in our daily lives. The explosion in home cinema and digital home entertainment has resulted in noisier homes and increased stress levels of other members of the household not being able to escape it. Noise control in your home is no longer an option. It’s a must.

Boral is proud to offer a simple and cost effective solution to upgrade acoustic isolation within the family home that utilizes 10mm SoundSTOP® plasterboard.

Quiet Living™ systems are recommended for any wall or floor/ceiling that separates a ‘noisy’ area (i.e. kitchen, living room or kid’s bedroom) from a ‘quiet’ area (i.e. main bedroom or home office). In two-storey homes with tiled or bare timber floors, Quiet Living™ ceiling system is recommended to reduce footstep noise from above to the room below.

How much difference will I notice with a Boral Quiet Living™ system?

Boral Quiet Living™ systems have been developed to ensure the reduction in noise through the wall or ceiling will provide a noticeable difference. A practical example of the level of noise reduction you can expect from a Quiet Living™ wall system is provided below.
  A standard internal wall provides a minimal
level of noise insulation making it easy to
hear loud speech on the other side
Standard Internal Wall
 
  This system provides a noticeable improvement is sound
isolation making loud speech heard only as a murmur
on the other side.

For more sensitive rooms, the addition of a second layer
of 10mm SoundStop® plasterboard to one side will improve
the performance such that loud speech will be a strain to
hear on the other side. The added weight will also provide more protection against low frequency sound as commonly produced by small entertainment systems and digital game noise.
