Acoustic Walls, Floors & Ceilings — Acoustic Subcontractor, North West

Acoustic walls, floating floors and independently hung ceilings delivered as one package — for music teaching rooms, studios and offices where sound transfer costs you the handover. Built exactly to the acoustic drawings: isolators, hangers and straps positioned per design.

What's included

Three layers of
an acoustic room

Wall, floor and ceiling built as one system — each decoupled from the structure around it. Build-ups from our music college packages.

  • Twin-frame acoustic partitions (independent studs, no bridging)
  • Soundblock and multi-layer boarding with staggered joints
  • Resilient bars and acoustic hangers
  • Floating floors on rubber isolators (timber frame, Fermacell, Soundblock, rubber sheet, ply)
  • Independently suspended acoustic ceilings with acoustic straps
  • Solid insulation packed to the drawing, not to the merchant's delivery
  • Acoustic sealing of perimeters, services and penetrations
  • Tape & joint finish ready for acoustic-rated doors and glazing

Questions about acoustic solutions

We build exactly to the acoustic engineer's drawings and specification — isolators, hangers and straps positioned as designed — and record it. Performance testing is the engineer's scope; our job is to make sure the build-up on site matches the build-up on paper.
Three Access Creative College sites (Whitechapel, Bristol, Manchester) — music teaching rooms and studios — plus acoustic media pods in an office fit-out in Knutsford.
All three as one package. That's the point: one subcontractor, one programme, no gap between trades where the sound gets through.
