Learning About Bradford SoundScreen Insulation
Learning about Bradford SoundScreen insulation gives you a smart way to reduce noise while improving your home’s energy efficiency. Its sound-absorbing properties make it different from regular insulation. Like other types, you install it inside walls and ceilings—but with SoundScreen, you also reduce unwanted noise.
You’ll often use Bradford SoundScreen in rooms that need extra quiet, like a home theatre, nursery, or study. While it doesn’t block sound completely, it provides both acoustic and thermal performance. In contrast, dedicated soundproofing products only block sound and don’t insulate.
What Makes Up Bradford SoundScreen
Bradford manufactures SoundScreen using mineral wool made from recycled glass, sand, and other raw materials. They spin these components using advanced fiberizing technology. All production takes place in Australia.
How Bradford SoundScreen Works
The dense glasswool in SoundScreen absorbs sound waves and cuts down noise by up to 10 decibels compared to standard insulation. It doesn’t completely block all sound, but it significantly limits how much noise moves between rooms.
It also helps maintain indoor temperatures. You’ll stay warmer in winter and cooler in summer. Bradford offers SoundScreen batts in R-values from 1.7 to 3.1. If you use the 3.1 batts, adding two layers ensures your home meets energy codes.
Builders usually install SoundScreen during construction or renovations. Retrofitting it into existing homes works too, but you’ll need to remove plasterboard, which makes the process more complex. The batts come in widths of 430mm and 580mm to fit most wall frames.
Noise Reduction for a Quieter Life
Unwanted noise affects sleep, focus, and overall well-being. Depending on the R-value and correct installation, SoundScreen can absorb up to 75% of noise. Whether you’re blocking out noisy neighbours or quieting a movie room, you’ll notice a calmer atmosphere.
In double-storey homes, placing insulation between floors helps stop noise from traveling. External walls also benefit—especially in homes near busy roads or train lines.
Experts recommend living room noise levels stay under 40 decibels. Bradford SoundScreen helps you hit that target while keeping your home more comfortable.
Health and Environmental Benefits
Bradford designed SoundScreen as a safe, healthy option. It holds the Sensitive Choice endorsement from the National Asthma Council, making it ideal for asthma and allergy sufferers. It also doesn’t attract pests or vermin like some other insulation types.
Boost Property Value
Homes with acoustic insulation like SoundScreen often sell for more, especially near high-traffic areas. Buyers value a peaceful indoor space and better energy efficiency.
