โœฆ Synopsis

A BSTRA CT

Wall linings are often used in dwellings to improve the thermal insulation of external walls and also to provide a dry finish. These linings are usually made from plasterboard, and some types are composites, having a thermal insulating material such as foamed plastic or mineral fibre bonded to the plasterboard.

Wall linings can affect sound insulation, and experiments have been conducted to compare the effect of different types of lining and different fixing methods. The main conclusions are that composite linings should be mounted on spacers, rather than flat against the wall, and that plasterboard/mineral fibre types can provide a reasonably simple way of improving sound insulation.

Some types of lining used on internal wall surfaces of buildings have been found to influence sound insulation. This effect is due to the excitation of mechanical resonances in the lining.

National and international standards for the measurement of sound insulation allow the user considerable flexibility in his technique. Concerned that this could lead to systematic differences in results, seven leading test organisations in the UK formed a working group to devise a detailed procedure
