Bradford knows how to filter out noise, that’s what makes Bradford the smart sound choice.
With Bradford SoundScreen Insulation, your home will be peaceful and comfortable – all year round.  

How does Sound Insulation work?

Doctors and psychologists agree that noise has the ability to raise stress, disrupt sleep and generally reduce your quality of life.

When sound waves reach a solid surface, they cause vibrations that transmit sound to the other side.

In this way, external noise is easily transmitted through walls and ceilings to the inside of your home.
Additionally, noise generated from within your home can be transmitted through internal walls to adjacent
rooms.

Today, many factors contribute to a higher level of external noise:

  • Increased road traffic
  • Increased aircraft noise           
  • Increased housing density

And today’s modern houses also have factors affecting internal noise:

  • The trend toward lighter construction materials
  • More open plan living and timber flooring
  • Less absorptive window coverings
  • More powerful entertainment systems
  • Kids living at home for longer

Measuring Sound

Sound pressure is measured in decibels (dB) which is a logarithmic scale. A 10dB increase in sound level
roughly doubles the loudness of the original sound to the ear. Between 35dB - 45dB is generally
considered comfortable.

Weighted Sound Reduction (Rw) is a single number acoustic rating that is used to simplify and
conveniently compare different types of construction.

How SoundScreen can help create your home sanctuary.

Bradford SoundScreenTM helps to reduce noise by up to 75%. The millions of interconnected air pockets
that make up the composition of Bradford insulation help absorb sound.

This combined with the more dense nature of Rockwool gives Bradford SoundScreenTM superior sound
absorption qualities, which is why Bradford Insulation has long been regarded by architects and builders as
the industry standard for acoustic insulation in ceilings, internal walls and mid floors.
