It’s a proven fact that high levels of noise in an office or other work area can severely impact on the productivity and well-being of occupants. Office areas featuring suspended ceilings can particularly suffer through transmission of noise through the ceiling cavities. Control of this noise between offices and other rooms is critical to ensure a productive and stress-free environment.

Autex Insulation has developed ceiling baffle systems that can dramatically reduce sound transmission between rooms. These systems have been designed to allow for easy installation in both new and existing buildings. In new buildings they should be designed and installed in conjunction with a partition system incorporating Autex Sound Blanket (ASB) infill to minimise sound transmission through walls.

QuietStuf^® BaffleBlock^® can provide STC improvements on its own right of between 16 to 20 points dependent on installation particulars and system used. Where a specific improvement is required an acoustic consultant or specialist installer should be consulted.

QuietStuf^® BaffleBlock^® also provides dramatic sound dampening in ceiling cavities through the provision of a highly sound absorbent block. This also reduces ambient noise levels in offices especially where ceiling cavities are of a high volume and must be left relatively open for return air systems. In these circumstances, reverberation times are substantially reduced, improving the ambience of the working environment.

QuietStuf^® BaffleBlock^® is easy to install, even in existing buildings. Individual layers are rolled out and moulded around inter-office service systems, such as ducting and wiring. QuietStuf^® BaffleBlock^® tears straight across the width of the roll allowing for quick installation with a minimum of tools, and because it’s QuietStuf^® there is no irritation or need for protective equipment.
