Aggregate industries have supplied their Masterblock Masterlite Pro Acoustic medium dense blocks to add additional soundproofing to the new Somerhill School music block.

Layers of insulation were added and soundproof metal sheeting to cavity walls to ensure maximum soundproofing.

Each room within the music block was constructed with material separating adjoining walls to ensure sound transfer is kept to a minimum.

Masterblock’s Masterlite Pro Acoustic meets the acoustic requirements of BB93 and has a low air permeability ensuring good sound reduction values, as well as thermal properties.

Reaction to fire is A1 in compliance with BB100.
