The new acoustic protection covers are made from 15mm thick acoustic sponge and are designed to encase electrical outlet boxes in the wall cavity and insulate against airborne sound. The covers are available in single-gang, double-gang, and twin-gang versions.
Tested 19-20/1/2004 at Building Test Centre (Ref: BTC13224A) in
accordance with BS EN ISO 140-3 (1995) and rated in accordance with BS EN ISO 717/1 (1997) in a Gyproc twin-frame high- performance wall measuring 3.6m x2.4m with 214mm internal depth.
Acoustic covers comply with the requirements of ‘Robust Details’.
Dry lining boxes are the perfect escape route for flames in a fire, because the front plate will sag and allow flames to travel along the path of the cables and into the cavity, to adjoining rooms and the floor above, increasing the risk to life and property.
