Scottish Widows creates acoustic comfort for employees
Scottish Widows needed to provide absolute sound integrity for their new office space. GypWall Twin Frame Audio was installed to keep the distinct areas separate at the insurance company's headquarters.
Specifying for sound integrity
The core focus of the project was to provide drylining systems suitable for this magnificent development, which can house 1,500 staff within 350,000 square feet of office accommodation. In keeping with the specification team’s performance requirements, it was crucial that the proposed solution provided absolute sound integrity to most areas. In particular, a separating wall was required between the noisy plant room and the main auditorium.
We specified a GypWall Twin Frame Audio high performance separating wall, lined with one layer of 19mm Gyproc Plank, and one layer of 15mm Gyproc SoundBloc, to achieve the level of sound reduction needed for the project. The system also incorporated 100mm Isover General Purpose Roll insulation.
This solution, along with other systems that were specified to meet a complicated mix of aesthetic and practical performance requirements, was extensively tested and approved by the architectural team.
We care about building better.
