4 7.1 Product data: Glass Mineral Wool Crown Acoustic Joist Roll Crown Acoustic Joist Roll is a glass mineral wool roll which is lightweight, flexible, resilient and non-combustible. The rolls are 1200mm wide and partially perforated to produce 3 rolls 400mm wide or 2 rolls 600mm wide. Excellent sound absorption properties Lightweight and easy to install Crown Acoustic Joist Roll is specifically designed for friction fitting between joists at 400 or 600mm centres to improve the sound insulation of timber joisted floors. Crown Acoustic Joist Roll provides a high level of acoustic absorption, as well as improving the thermal and fire performance of the floor. Crown Acoustic Joist Roll is free from CFCs, HCFCs and any other material with ozone depletion potential in its manufacture and content and represents no known threat to the environment.

5 Product data: Glass Mineral Wool 7.1 Crown Acoustic Partition Roll Crown Acoustic Partition Roll is a flexible, resilient roll of glass mineral wool. It is supplied in dimensions to suit studs at standard 600mm centres. Excellent sound absorption Dimensioned to suit 600mm stud centres Quick, economic installation Can be used with standard plasterboard to achieve a sound reduction of 40 Rw db Friction fits between studs, ensuring continuity of the absorbent layer with no gaps Crown Acoustic Partition Roll is designed specifically for the sound insulation of metal and timber stud partitions. Using mineral wool as a sound absorbent layer in partitions will significantly improve their acoustic performance, whilst only adding minimally to the overall mass of the structure. The mineral wool complements the plasterboard by absorbing airborne sound in the cavity and reducing reverberation. It also has the effect of reducing the hollow sound that can occur in partitions with unfilled cavities. Timber and metal stud partitions faced with standard 12.5mm plasterboard and infilled with Crown Acoustic Partition Roll can meet the requirement for a 40 Rw db sound reduction in accordance with Approved Document E of the Building Regulations. Crown Acoustic Partition Roll is free from CFCs, HCFCs and any other material with ozone depletion potential in its manufacture and content and represents no known threat to the environment.

6 7.1 Product data: Glass Mineral Wool Crown Acoustic Party Wall Slab Crown Acoustic Party Wall Slab is a foil-faced semi-rigid non-combustible, glass mineral wool slab with a water repellent additive. It is 455mm wide to suit standard vertical wall tie spacings, ensuring a closed joint with adjacent slabs. Removes the requirement for parge coat on masonry separating walls Water repellent Slabs "knit" together, thus eliminating air gaps between adjacent slabs Non-combustible Crown Acoustic Party Wall Slab has been developed as an acoustic insulant in masonry party walls aimed at removing the need for a wet-applied parge coat. The normal internal lining of plasterboard on dabs, applied directly to the bare block face is then the internal finish. Crown Acoustic Party Wall Slabs are installed partially filling the cavity in the separating wall. The slabs are held in place with retaining discs in the same manner as a partially filled external cavity wall. They must be installed with the foil facing the minimum residual 40mm cavity with the slabs tightly butted together. The junction of the party wall cavity and external wall cavity must be closed to prevent flanking sound transmission. This is usually achieved by installing Crown DriTherm Cavity Slab or Crown Cavity Barriers. Normal practice is to continue the installation of the Crown Acoustic Party Wall Slab to the full height of the separating wall up to the underside of the roof. Thickness Slabs per Length Width Area per (mm) pack (mm) (mm) pack (m 2 ) Crown Acoustic Party Wall Slab is free from CFC's, HCFC'S and any other material with ozone depletion potential in their manufacture and content and represents no known threat to the environment.

8 7.1 Product data: Glass Mineral Wool Crown Cavity Barriers Crown Cavity Barriers are manufactured from a continuous length of non-combustible glass mineral wool which is compressed within a resilient polythene sleeve incorporating two flanges designed for ease of fixing. The polythene sleeve is colour-coded to suit a variety of cavity widths from 50mm to 100mm and eliminates the need for weather protection during installation. Meets Building Regulation requirements for both fire and acoustics Simple to install and fix due to flanges on all thicknesses Easy identification for stockists and contractors by coloured sleeving Dimensionally stable and robust Crown Cavity Barriers are engineered to prevent the spread of smoke and fire through walls, floors and cavities in timber frame, metal frame and masonry buildings. They are also suitable for reducing flanking sound transmission in these concealed cavities. The use of the correct size of Crown Cavity Barrier is essential. Crown Cavity Barriers are designed to compression fit in cavities. In the event of fire breaking into the cavity, Crown Cavity Barriers do not rely on the polythene flanges to hold them in place, but on their compression between the inner and outer leafs. It is, therefore, essential to specify the Crown Cavity Barrier by reference to the actual constructed cavity width. In vertical applications, both flanges of the Crown Cavity Barrier should be fixed to the inner leaf. In horizontal applications the top flange of the polythene sleeve should be fixed to the inner leaf. All joints and intersections of Crown Cavity Barriers should be closely butted. 100mm barriers are used for normal fire stopping and noise reduction applications. 300mm barriers are used where higher performance levels are specified and at party wall/external wall cavity junctions. Cavity width Nominal Depth Barriers Sleeve (mm) length (mm) (m) per pack colour yellow blue white yellow blue white Crown Cavity Barriers are free from CFC s, HCFC s and any other material with ozone depletion potential in its manufacture and content and represents no known threat to the environment. Crown glass mineral wool s manufacture has a low impact on the environment and is classified as Zero ODP and Zero GWP. Acoustic performance Building Regulations require the use of a cavity closer to reduce flanking noise transmission along party wall cavities and external wall cavities in masonry and timber frame constructions. Crown Cavity Barriers meet the generic description for cavity closers and will therefore ensure compliance with Approved Document E and Robust Details in timber frame and masonry constructions. Crown Cavity Barriers are manufactured from glass mineral wool which has a Euroclass A1 fire rating when classified in accordance with BS EN Crown Cavity Barriers have been tested for fire resistance in accordance with BS 476: Part 8: 1972 and will provide 60 minutes stability, integrity and insulation. 732
