Excel ‘Soundcel’
Cellulose acoustic insulation for newbuild timber frame structures
‘Soundcel acoustic insulation is a highly effective sound insulation for new build applications. Developed for installation into timber frame structures (floors and walls), Soundcel offers a simple and cost-effective solution to airborne sounds from adjacent rooms or properties.
One of the main applications for Soundcel is in intermediate floors in residential or commercial buildings, for example, separating apartments or offices, with internal and party walls also being principal users of the material.’
