ACOUSTICS

When installed in a 50mm gap above a partition and where an imperforate 12.5mm plasterboard ceiling is installed to abut the partition below on both sides, the room-to-room sound reduction, on the path of the Fire Stop Strip, will be at least 47dB average sound reduction index.

INSTALLATION

AIM Fire Stop Strip must be compressed by about 5%, when installed. It is push fitted into place and must fit tightly and completely; all butt joints also must be tight. Where rough masonry surfaces cause problems a small piece of metal or plastic sheet may be temporarily inserted as a slip plate. If the gap to be filled is between two components which might separate in a fire, the two components must be mechanically linked so that separation cannot occur.
