DFM 100 (100kg/m³)

DFM products are manufactured to a higher density than other mineral wool slabs and provide improved Soundproofing acoustic control across a wide range of frequencies. Effective sound proofing insulation is an essential requirement for modern life styles. Excessive noise maybe from noisy neighbours can increase stress, hinder speech and can cause its own form of environmental pollution.

DFM has been proven over many years to be the ideal Soundproofing insulation material for all applications where noise attenuation or noise absorption is needed - in Soundproofing in the home / domestic, commercial, manufacturing, industrial and environmental situations. In addition to its acoustic properties, its well known thermal insulation and fire protection performance are inherent benefits. Thicknesses of 25, 50, 75, and 100 are available.

2. Place Dense Fibre Matting (DFM 100mm / 100kg) into the void between joists. Cut to fit, making sure that there are no gaps.
3. Build another layer of joist going horizontally to the original joist, with 2x2 timbers.
4. Place Dense Fibre Matting (DFM 50mm / 100kg) into the void between joists. Cut to fit, making sure that there are no gaps.
5. Attach SoundBreaker bars across new joist, by screwing it into the joist. The SoundBreaker Bars have pre-drill holes.
