Isowave 23 for Ceilings

Acoustic Ceiling System

The Isowave 23 acoustic ceiling system is used to enhance a ceiling that is found to underperform or to provide a high performance ceiling commonly used in home cinemas/studios. Also in situations where commercial activities adjoin a dwelling above or for upgrading separating floors/ceilings where access to the top of the floor is not possible.

This is a versatile system used in refurbishments or new build with a decoupled ceiling as illustrated or otherwise approved by Isomass (on application to technical@isomass.co.uk for our free acoustic detail design service).

Isowave 23 consists of a10mm Isowave acoustic foam measured to BS 4443 and BS EN ISO 845:2009 bonded to 12.5mm high density, square edged fibre-reinforced gypsum board. Isowave 23 system incorporates acoustic foam which is semi rigid and is an excellent absorber with high damping characteristics when bonded to an acoustically reflective stiff surface. Isowave foam is manufactured using water as a blowing agent and is free of CFCs, HFCs or HCFCs. Isowave 23 acoustic ceiling system complies with requirements of EU Regulation No 2037/2000 for ozone depletion and offers good thermal properties.
