Noise reduction in heritage listed building in Rockdale

We are contracted by the NSW Heritage works to come in and do a particular job for a heritage listed building.

The air-conditioning ducts were too noisy and detracting from the experience of being in the building. Heritage buildings have more stringent roles and regulations around upgraded, fixes and modifications. So we had to be careful to make the soundproofing solution as subtle as possible.

This turned out to be an excellent solution, and once finished, achieves a plain and clean result.

Garvan Institute gets its own treatment

One of Australia’s leading medical research facilities was having problems with too much reverberation.

This can be common in buildings where the architect and builder have not taken acoustics into account sufficiently for the type of tenant that will be using a building.

We solved their problems with our acoustically enhanced fabric wall upholstery system.
The result was very successful.

Here’s a snippet:”Katherine Gleason, a writer in New York, was suffering from lack of sleep because of her upstairs neighbors. It wasn’t just the shooting noises and sirens from what she assumed were epic XBox tournaments, or the arguments or even the 4 a.m. Bee Gees singalongs that were the most disconcerting.

“I could hear their dogs breathing,” she said. …

“About 380 square feet of ceiling was treated with mass-loaded vinyl and hung on springs. Radiator pipes were placed in sound-isolating mounts. … “It’s incredibly worth it. I sleep through the night,” Ms. Gleason said. “It was either that or move.”
