    Room Sound Proofing Cover

    Reduce the impact of sound transmission

    As apartment living has become more practical, the need to reduce sound transmission in 2-story dwellings has become increasingly important to inhabitants. Consideration for creating spaces conducive to working from home is important for new builds along with easily achieved retro-fit options for existing dwellings.

    Room soundproofing solutions involve using building products with mass to reduce the effects of impact sound such as footsteps and airborne sound – music, talking and television travelling through floors and walls.

    PhoneStar is a room-soundproofing solution, proven in Europe that Woodland Lifestyle have brought to New Zealand.

    PhoneStar Tri is a versatile high-performance acoustic insulation panel. Made from a combination of sand and cardboard, it is designed to reduce both impact and airborne sound while adding thermal mass to structures.

    EASY INSTALLATION

    It can be fitted onto new studs, or fixed over existing walls or under floor coverings. For optimal performance it can be decoupled from the existing wall (becomes a wall within a wall).

    It is ideal for noisy neighbour problems, rumpus rooms, boardrooms, offices and noise proofing air bnbs.
