Why choose Farrat for Acoustic Isolation of Lightweight Partitions? Using Farrat materials to isolate a high-performance acoustic wall directly off the structural slab is a cost-effective way of achieving the ideal of a 'box-in-box' scenario without needing to support the wall off a floating floor. This significantly reduces the cost and complexity of a floating floor system and is much simpler and faster to install (no concrete formwork is required), all without providing any limiting factors to the acoustic performance of the partition.

1. Ensure floor is free of debris. Set out edge of FAVIM strip to internal edge of wall. (For double skin walls, or when using oversize FAVIM strips, excess material can be cut back after). 3. Secure SFS channel onto FAVIM and concrete by fastening mechanical anchor through AWTH06 washer. (The bush element of the washer should be inserted into the oversize hole in the SFS channel 4. Install plasterboard so it is resting on the protruding FAVIM. Cut back excess material if necessary. If fire sealing is necessary, flexible (non-setting) intumescent mastic must be used. 2. Place SFS channel...
