Discover how PhoneStrip was applied to reduce noise transfer underneath timber frame walls at this commercial project.
At the Mascot Street Apartments, all areas of the development featured hard flooring with a combination of SPC and tiles; this made a quality acoustic system essential for tenant comfort and building code compliance.
The timber midfloor, paired with a GBDFA 60b ceiling system, formed the structural backdrop for the acoustic solution. Woodland Acoustics supplied 500m² of Phonestar Lite to achieve G6 compliance across the development, delivering impressive results in an exceptionally slim profile.
In SPC areas, the total acoustic build-up measured just 16mm. Tiled areas came in at 20mm. Both are remarkably thin for a system carrying the performance demands of a fully hard-floored residential development.
The numbers at completion spoke for themselves. On-site acoustic testing recorded IIC ratings of 57dB and above, and STC ratings exceeding 60dB - comfortably surpassing the minimum on-site requirements of IIC/STC 50dB and demonstrating just how much headroom Phonestar Lite delivers beyond compliance.
