Sound Proofing and Acoustic Treatment in Electronic city, Bangalore.

Acoustic Treatment, Soundproofing and False Ceiling was carried out for a Conference room in Electronic city, Bangalore. The Process involved creating a Conference room in an open space. We had to address two aspects while designing and fabricating the conference room i.e. Soundproofing and Acoustic Treatment.

Project Specifications:
Soundproofing Area: 1900 Sft
Acoustic Treatment Area: 1600 Sft
False Ceiling Area: 1320 Sft
Size of the room: 55 ft x 24 ft

Height: 10 ft

The Soundproofing of walls involved building a 116mm thick Dry wall Partition consisting of 2 layers of 50mm thick JITEX G.I partition Channel (Floor and Stud) with an insulation infill of 50mm thick Mineral Rock wool slab of 96 kg density per m3. Two layers of 8mm thick Soundproof Magnesium Oxide Boards (mgO board) were installed on both sides of the channel and finished with Jointing tape and jointing Compound. The overall process helped in Soundproofing the conference room up to 80 dBs.

After the completion of Soundproofing the room ,the second step involved in the treatment of wall Acoustics. With a heavy rise in the echo and noise due to Soundproofing, we had to make sure the Room Acoustics were treated efficiently. The process involved in the installation of 25mm thick JITEX Wood wool Board (Acoustic Panel) on to the internal side of the partition. Further, these boards were then finished with a 12mm thick PVC Fabric gripper track system, 12mm PU foam and Polyester fabric. Thus helping us achieving an N.R.C of 0.95.

 

The design of the Acoustic walls consisted of two levels. The lengthier Acoustic panels were projected outside from the smaller Acoustic panels by 2 inches. The colors of the fabric chosen were Grey and Navy Blue. A perfect match to add a contrast effect. Overall, the final finish of the Acoustic wall gave a modern, stylish and corporate look to the conference room.

After the completion of Soundproofing and Acoustic Treatment of walls, the next process involved the Treatment of Ceiling. The False ceiling comprised of a combination of Gypsum Boards False Ceiling and Grid Ceiling.

The sides and Center Portion of the Conference room had Gypsum Board false ceiling mainly comprising of fixing 12.5 mm thick Saint Gobain Gyproc Gypsum Board suspended on a G.I framework of Make JITEX. The G.I framework consisted of Ceiling Sections, Intermediate Channels, Perimeter sections and Ceiling L – Angles. After the installation of boards, the Joints were covered with a layer of Saint Gobain Gyproc Jointing Tape and Jointing Compound. This not only helped in creating Two levels but also to help us in hiding the A.C Ducts.

The remaining area was covered with T – Grid False Ceiling. The process involved in creating a 600mm x 600mm modular structure comprising of 24mm T – Grid suspension system of make JITEX. The components involved 10ft Main T, 2ft Cross T section, 4ft Cross T section and Perimeter Wall angle. After the channels were installed, 12mm Thick JITEX Mineral Fiber Acoustic ceiling tile of size 595mm x 595mm were layed on to the channel. Thus, helping us achieve an N.R.C of 0.60 from the False Ceiling.
