Acousteel Facts

Fact: Acousteel will reduce unwanted noise and vibration by over 1000%

Fact: Acousteel is cost effective compared to traditional solutions

Fact: Acousteel is invisible simply replacing existing parts

Fact: The difference in our hand bell example is an incredible reduction of 30dB(A) which is a thousand fold decrease in sound energy

The range of gauges is from 1mm (0.5mm +0.5mm) to 4mm (2mm + 2mm). The sound absorbing viscoe-elastic polymer thickness is a negligible thickness 0.06mm.

Grades

Acousteel is available in most grades of steel including mild steel, Zintec, Galvanised, Precoat, Stainless 304 & 316 etc. In addition to steel, aluminium, copper and brass plate can also be laminated.

Acousteel is available in both symmetrical and asymmetrical formats, for example 2mm + 2mm (symmetrical ) or 1mm + 3mm (asymmetrical).

Different materials can be mixed if required, for example Stainless Steel is often bonded to a thicker and cheaper mild steel substrate for decorative architectural panels or when only one face of a panel requires the corrosion resistance of Stainless Steel. This often leads to an actual cost reduction when compared to using monolithic Stainless Steel, with the bonus of sound deadening!

Sizes

The standard sheet size is 2500mm x 1250mm (1mm-4mm thick). However, the following sizes are readily available.

What is ACOUSTEEL?

Acoustic offers an effective and straight forward way to remove unwanted noise and vibration from any steel or aluminium sheets, panels, pressings etc. which have inherent noise problems. Acousteel offers many benefits over traditional noise control products.

Acousteel is constructed like a sandwich with a thin (0.05mm) energy-absorbing layer of viscoe-elastic polymer in the center of two metal skins. The result of this is an audibly dead panel.

Materials can be mixed, for example a veneer of Stainless Steel can be bonded to a thicker less expensive mild steel substrate, giving both an acoustic solution and cost effective alternative to monolithic Stainless sheet, when anticorrosive properties are required on only one face of the panel.
