When it comes to creating peaceful and quiet environments, Dr.J Autoklav AAC stands out as a superior material choice. Its unique porous structure, a result of the advanced autoclaving process, provides inherent sound insulation that surpasses traditional building materials.

Understanding AAC’s Soundproofing Power:

Dr.J Autoklav AAC achieves impressive Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings, a measure of how well a material blocks airborne sound. For example, an 8-inch thick AAC block wall with plaster finishes can achieve an STC rating of 50-55. This means it effectively blocks most speech and everyday noises, creating a tranquil atmosphere.

Why AAC Excels in Soundproofing:

• Porous Structure: The millions of tiny air pores within AAC act as natural sound dampeners, absorbing and dissipating sound waves. This inherent porosity is key to its soundproofing capabilities.
• Mass and Damping: AAC combines moderate mass with excellent damping properties, outperforming traditional concrete or CMU blocks of similar thickness. This combination is crucial for effectively reducing sound transmission.
• Minimal Assembly: Unlike multi-layered drywall systems, AAC blocks offer a single-product solution. With just plaster or thin-set finishes, you can achieve remarkable sound insulation without complex assemblies.
• Reduced Flanking Noise: The closed-cell microstructure of AAC minimizes flanking noise, which is the transmission of sound through indirect pathways.

Achieving Optimal Soundproofing:

• Thickness Matters: While 8-inch AAC blocks deliver exceptional soundproofing, even 4-inch blocks offer significant sound reduction, achieving STC ratings of 40-45. Adding plaster and ensuring proper sealing can further enhance these ratings.
• Joint Sealing: Proper sealing of joints with acoustic mortar or flexible sealant is essential to prevent sound leaks and maximize soundproofing performance.
• Finishings: Applying gypsum plaster or cementitious skim coat on both sides of the AAC wall adds mass and further enhances its ability to block airborne noise.

Dr.J Autoklav AAC vs. Other Materials:

Compared to drywall systems that require complex assemblies, or poured concrete walls that are heavy and costly, Dr.J Autoklav AAC offers a streamlined and effective soundproofing solution. Its combination of inherent sound insulation, ease of installation, and additional benefits like fire resistance and thermal insulation makes it the ideal choice for architects and contractors seeking superior soundproofing performance.

Choose Dr.J Autoklav AAC for your next project and experience the difference in soundproofing excellence.
