Part E Building Regulations specify the minimum standards for airborne sound insulation and acoustic ceiling systems play a key role in meeting these requirements. 

Beyond simply meeting the required standards for new builds, our acoustics systems:

• Reduce airborne and impact noise, creating a quieter, more comfortable environment.
• Control the passage of sound between living spaces.
• Improve productivity and wellbeing in workspaces where excessive noise through dividing floors can cause distractions or challenges.

Our range includes four high-quality systems designed to meet different project requirements, spaces, and budgets.

Genie 80 Ceiling Systems (Concrete/Timber Joist)

Available for either concrete or timber joists, the Genie 80 ceiling system is designed for spaces with restricted headroom height. 

Using a combination of GenieClip, Rockwool acoustic insulation, Siniat db plasterboard, Tecsound self-adhesive, and Siniat Fireline in 15mm, these systems are low-profile and provide high-performance acoustic insulation in just 80mm depth from your ceiling’s underside. 

Our Genie 80 systems are suitable for domestic upgrades of existing ceilings.

Opti 60 Acoustic Ceiling Systems (Concrete/Timber Joist)

Also available for either concrete or timber joists, our Opti 60 ceiling systems provide multiple layers of acoustic mass at 60mm depth off the underside of your joists.

This system includes high-performance Maxi Resilient Bars, which can be fixed on both sides and carry a greater load, our very own dBoard product, Rockwool acoustic insulation, and the Siniat Fireline in 15mm.

The system offers a high level of acoustic reduction and relevant fire test data can be provided if required.

Selecting the best sound insulating ceiling system from our range depends on several factors:

• Building Structure: Do you have a concrete or timber joist ceiling grid?
• Noise Type & Source: Is the noise airborne (such as voices or music) or impact (such as footsteps or machinery)?
• Intended Use: Where is the system being installed? Different spaces, like offices, schools, and residential buildings vary in acoustic insulation needs.
• Fire & Safety Regulations: Do you require a system with fire test data?

The Team At SIS Says:

“When looking at improving sound transfer between floors, an acoustic ceiling is the element that will have the most effect on improving the acoustic performance and reducing the level of sound transfer between spaces. 

“The combination of insulation, isolation, and mass within your acoustic ceiling will lead to a high level of sound reduction. The correct installation detail and isolation elements are as, if not more, important than the products being installed.”
