Gyprock Soundcheck
In addition to the R2.5 insulation, Gyprock Soundcheck will also be used to minimise noise impacts.
Gyprock Soundcheck is a high density gypsum plasterboard typically used within commercial or
residential buildings. The plasterboard has improved sound transmission is utilised as a noise reduction
technique.
Soundchek provides effective airborne noise and impact noise insulation.
Gyprock states that Higher levels of noise control can be achieved by including bulk acoustic insulation
in the Soundchek wall cavity (Gyprock).
