Bradford Fireseal Party Wall Rockwool Insulation Batts is designed for installation in Party Wall vertical joints applications only, it is not appropriate to be used to seal areas at the top of either a masonry or lightweight wall system. Fireseal Party Wall Batts may also be stacked to fill cavities up to 255mm in height. Multiple layers must be stacked neatly and should be installed as one unit.

Bradford Fireseal Party Wall Batts are made from non-combustible Rockwool, which is specifically designed to meet the fire protection requirements for inter-tenancy walls in multi residential applications.

Fireseal Party wall Batts are designed to reduce fire hazards by separating one dwelling from another to provide the building occupants with the maximum time to escape safely by maintaining sufficient structural adequacy, integrity and insulation. There are principally 3 key areas for reducing fire hazards:

• Controlling fire within a compartment
• Controlling the spread of fire between compartments through openings in external walls
• Providing early warning to building occupants

The incorporation of the correct insulation products in the design of passive fire protection systems can save lives and also complement the installation of active fire protection equipment (i.e. sprinkler systems and fire alarms).

BCA provisions

Party Wall Sealer applications for wall perimeter and cavity junctions in Class 1 Buildings need to meet the relevant Deemed to Satisfy requirements of Clause 3.7.1.8 of Volume 2 of the Building Code of Australia (BCA). Inclusion of fire rated building products such as insulation are covered by the BCA.

BCA specifies required levels of fire resistance for walls that separate one dwelling from another, expressed as the Fire Resistance Level (FRL) of the wall in minutes. The fire rated walls must maintain sufficient:

• Structural adequacy – ability of a structure to maintain its stability and ability to hold up other parts of the structure.
• Integrity – ability of a structure to resist the passage of flames and hot gases.
• Insulation – ability of a structure to maintain a temperature below specified limits on the surface on the other side of the wall.

Typical party wall and common wall applications

Insulation products

Party Wall insulation products need to have remarkable resistance to shrinkage at temperatures encountered in fire conditions. One of the most common materials for party wall insulation is Rockwool, such as Bradford’s Fireseal Party Wall insulation products, which are made from non-combustible Rockwool.

Party Wall insulation products should be assessed in accordance with the general principles of AS1530.4, and need to be suitable for the stated FRL when designed in accordance with the relevant building and structural considerations, and installed in accordance with the manufacture’s details.

Features and Benefits

• Highly durable and cost effective fire insulation
• Remarkable resistance to shrinkage at high temperatures encountered in fire conditions
• Suitable for all standard party wall applications – easy-to-cut for constricted applications
• Performance is not adversely affected by contact with water
• Non-combustible (when tested to AS1530.1)

Thermotec Australia developed an extra HEAVY-DUTY, high performance, flexible soundproofing barrier called NuWave Base, or Mass Loaded Vinyl Insulation. The Mass loaded vinyl range of high performance acoustic sound/noise barrier fence insulation is based on high density, limp mass polmers to take the energy out of sound waves right across the hearing frequency spectrum. NuWave barriers are flexible, inexpensive and will control unwanted noise from home theatre systems, aircraft noise, machinery noise, unwanted noise through walls and floors, office ceilings and other types or airborne noise. When noise and sound transmission needs to be effectively controlled, NuWave Noise Barriers provide the solution to ensure that building standards are complied with, and that noise levels are effectively reduced. NuWave noise barriers are also manufactured in various composite products such as high performance carpet underlays, heavy transport cabin insulation, plant room noise control, and waste pipe.

With an ultra-thin profile of 4 mm (approximately) and high acoustic performance of Rw 30*, Mass Loaded Vinyl is an excellent product to soundproof walls, timber floors and ceiling spaces in residential homes & is particularly suitable for office partitions in commercial buildings.

Mass loaded vinyl (MLV) in Australia is commonly used in a wide variety of other applications such as soundproofing cars, boats, pump housings, machinery rooms, or other industrial applications.

MLV is dark grey or black in color and Supplied in a roll.

Mass Loaded Vinyl – Treated for UV Radiation – Fence Insulation

• Mass loaded vinyl barriers – 4kg, 6kg & 8kg
• Other densities available on request
• Low profile – High Performance – long life
• Industry acceptance and proven performer
• Available as 4-Zero fire rated & outdoors variants
• No ozone depleting substances (ODP-EMI 4)
• Available in composite products – NuWrap 5 & Cabmat
• Easy to cut and install as curtains, inside walls and ceilings
• Low VOC – meets Green Building Council requirements
• Maximum transmission loss across the range of frequencies

Installation:

MLV  is very easy to cut and install. The product contains a fabric scrim with an embossed face increasing tear resistance whilst maintaining high flexibility.

Walls/ceilings/underfloors – We propose the product be tacked to studs/joists using tacks with large heads or incorporating a washer to minimize tear. Gluing is also beneficial.

To increase the mass and reduce sound transmission, glue the Mass Loaded Vinyl to a machinery housing, pump housing, boat, or car structures.

We recommend the sheets butted up against each other, or overlapped and taped using strong industrial tape.

MLV Composition:

Mass Loaded Vinyl Australia comprises of 3 elements.

First, vinyl employed to provide the product with a high level of flexibility for ease of use.

Second, the Vinyl impregnated with naturally occurring Barium Sulphate, a nontoxic nature, and high relative density substance. It is this high relative density (mass) that gives Mass Loaded Vinyl such effective soundproofing capabilities.

Lastly, the vinyl and barium mixture added to a reinforcing scrim to increase the product’s tensile strength.

How does Bradford SoundScreen Acoustic Insulation work?

As standard internal walls are hollow with a thin layer of plasterboard on each side, even moderate noise can transfer through. Bradford SoundScreen high-density acoustic insulation fills this empty space, effectively absorbing unwanted noise transfer between rooms for greater acoustic comfort.

How much does it cost?

SoundScreen is surprisingly inexpensive. Many builders offer SoundScreen upgrades from as little as $400 a room, which is a reasonable price to pay for long term peace in your new home.

As SoundScreen acoustic insulation can only really be installed during construction, it’s important to talk to your builder well before construction commences.
