Make your home pleasing to the ears as well as the eyes

When people consider building a custom home theatre room or designing a new kitchen or entertaining area, it is easy to focus on the accessories, appliances and the aesthetics. While all these things are important, none of them are as essential as the room acoustics.

When considering the acoustics of your home, there are two main characteristics to focus on:

• Sound Absorption – Prevent a room becoming an echo chamber. Very important for rooms with hard surface floors.
• Sound Transmission – Make sure you can’t hear what’s going on in every other room of the house. Crucial for bedrooms next to one another.

Gyprock’s Superchek™ plasterboard is the premium choice for noise control, allowing you to reduce noise transfer within your home as well as effectively resisting damage caused by soft and hard impact.

Quiet down in there!

Superchek has a reinforced core and is designed to reduce the damage caused by rough play as well as delivering better sound absorption for a quieter, more peaceful home.

“Home theatres, entertainment rooms or other special purpose rooms with high noise levels, such as music and rumpus rooms, are typical areas that need to be considered for noise transfer,” says Therese Tarlinton, Gyprock Marketing Communications Manager.

“With some basic understanding of building acoustics and careful consideration of the room use and layout of your home or extension, you can create quiet zones where you need them and keep noise contained.”
