WHY CHOOSE US?
WHAT IS AN ACOUSTIC CEILING?
An acoustic ceiling is a specially designed acoustic plaster ceiling installed in your home or office space that will significantly reduce sound movement between rooms and floors.
Acoustic ceilings are best suited for homes, apartments, offices and commercial buildings such as shops and cinemas where the slightest sound disturbance can distract from an otherwise peaceful living or working environment.
We install two main types of acoustic ceilings: acoustic tile grid systems and acoustic plasterboard/Gyprock acoustic ceilings.
A standard acoustic plasterboard ceiling installation is commonly referred to as an 'acoustic drop ceiling' due to the way it hangs from a suspended system from the floor or structure above. However, the most common technique is where the plasterboard is fixed to metal ceiling battens at regular intervals secured directly to the ceiling structure.
An acoustic tile grid ceiling is a suspended ceiling constructed using numerous acoustic plasterboard tiles (square or rectangular in shape) that are fastened to or sit within a tile grid structure above.
Whether you choose a standard acoustic plasterboard ceiling or acoustic tile grid ceiling will depend on the auditory specification required for your needs and building structure, and your desired aesthetics. Contact us today for a free quote on acoustic ceiling installation in Cairns and discuss which method will be best for your needs.
WHAT IS AN ACOUSTIC CEILING MADE FROM?
An acoustic ceiling is a type of acoustic product designed to reduce the amount of noise that reverberates in a space. It is made up of acoustic Gyprock/plasterboard or large acoustic tiles secured to battens or held in place in a metal suspended ceiling grid. The material for acoustic tiles can be made from dense plasterboard, fibreglass, foam, wood, polyester, and other substrates. Each material has properties that make it great for specific applications and not so good for others.
The acoustic Gyprock sheeting is plasterboard made up of a dense, heavy gypsum core with sandwiched paper liners on each side. One popular product used in the industry is Gyprock Soundchek, and it's the material we use and recommend.

WHAT ARE THE BENEFITS OF ACOUSTIC CEILINGS IN YOUR HOME OR OFFICE SPACE?
Acoustic ceilings reduce noise and sound distortion. They have been designed to reduce the noise which reverberates throughout a space. Noise is reduced by acoustic ceiling panels or sheeting acting as a barrier between the source of noise and the room, resulting in the absorption of sound waves. This will ultimately improve comfort and create a peaceful living and working environment for you and anyone around you.
An acoustic ceiling provides acoustic insulation in a building. It reduces acoustic noise from being transferred between rooms, floors and adjacent spaces within a home or office.
The benefits of this are evident in homes, where you want to not only keep sound inside but also reduce any external noise from passing through the acoustic ceiling into your home.
For office spaces, acoustic ceilings can help minimise the noise caused by the sound from adjacent workspaces or rooms, noisy machinery or neighbouring businesses, or even construction outside. They can also limit the amount of noise escaping a boardroom where sensitive conversations occur.
In industries requiring patient privacy, such as consultation rooms, acoustic ceilings are perfect for client confidentiality.
An acoustic ceiling can also define a space. Acoustical ceilings are both functional and aesthetically pleasing in creating an ambient environment by controlling the amount of sound within a room or building.
In multi-level residential and commercial areas or any other space where sound transmits between rooms or floors, you'll benefit from an acoustic ceiling by reducing noise and acoustic impact coming from people above and below.
Acoustic ceilings can also help improve the comfort and usability in space through acoustic absorption and acoustic isolation, which is why you must contact an acoustic specialist for your soundproof ceiling installation needs in Cairns and the surrounding areas.
How can we help? Cairns Plaster Professionals install acoustic ceilings to improve the auditory properties of your space. We can reduce acoustic noise between rooms and floors, provide acoustic insulation in walls around noisy machinery, build acoustic barriers for privacy in hospital consulting rooms or boardrooms where there is a need for soundproofing, enhance the acoustics of auditoriums, reduce the acoustic impact of sound in floor areas above or below, and absorb the acoustic noise from the surrounding area.

AN ACOUSTIC CEILING IS A GREAT WAY TO LIMIT NOISE ENTERING A ROOM, BUT ALSO LIMIT THE NOISE LEAVING IT
Many of our clients choose an acoustic ceiling to limit the noise entering their space. But not many people realise that an acoustic ceiling is also beneficial in stifling the noise leaving the area. This is particularly useful for applications such as a boardroom or consultation room where sensitive conversations occur.
DOES AN ACOUSTIC CEILING MAKE THE ROOM COMPLETELY SOUNDPROOF?
An acoustic ceiling can be an effective way to minimise the amount of acoustic noise entering or exiting a room. It is important to note that sound insulation is not 100% noise proof, though, so acoustic ceilings are used in conjunction with other acoustic barriers where needed for acoustic isolation, acoustic absorption and industrial soundproofing. Talk to our local Cairns plasterers today to discuss additional steps you can take to limit sound transmission even further.
ADD ACOUSTIC INSULATION ABOVE YOUR CEILING FOR IMPROVED SOUND DEADENING PERFORMANCE
An acoustic plasterboard or ceiling tile does most of the heavy lifting to reduce sound transmission. However, we can improve upon this by supplementing the installation with acoustic insulation. Acoustic insulation provides an additional layer of acoustic absorption that can reduce noise transfer even further.
To stop noise from passing so effortlessly through a structure, you must first add mass. Acoustic insulation adds an additional mass layer, reducing vibration energy and further limiting the sound waves passing through the form. When installing an acoustic ceiling, we recommend adding acoustic insulation simultaneously for the very best performance.

HOW THICK SHOULD ACOUSTIC PLASTERBOARD BE?
Acoustic plasterboard is available in different thicknesses, but how thick it should depend on the acoustic insulation performance required. The thicker the acoustic plasterboard, the more acoustic insulation it provides.
Gyprock Soundchek is available in two thicknesses, 10mm and 13mm. The 10mm Soundchek product is typically used in residential applications to reduce disturbance between noisy rooms such as lounge rooms, dining rooms and laundries and quiet areas such as nurseries, home offices, studies and media rooms.
The 13mm Gyprock Soundchek is an exceptional choice for use in commercial projects where noise transfer can be an issue, such as; meeting rooms, inter tenancy walls in multiple residential developments, bedrooms in motels and hotels and between shops in a retail environment. It's also excellent at blocking sound from getting through acoustic bulkheads/shafts!
The thickness of the acoustic plasterboard also dictates its weight, so it's essential to be aware of this when examining and assessing the fixing methods and supporting structures.
In some instances, multiple layers of acoustic plasterboard are installed to enhance its performance further.
DO HOLES FOR DOWNLIGHTS AND OTHER CEILING PENETRATIONS REDUCE THE EFFECT OF AN ACOUSTIC CEILING?
Yes, any acoustic plasterboard or tile penetration will reduce its acoustic performance. Try to avoid any holes or gaps occurring in the acoustical ceiling as these create weak points where acoustic sound waves can travel more quickly through the structure.
Specific light fittings and sealing products reduce acoustic leakage at downlight and ceiling penetrations, but these can be expensive.
Where optimum sound deadening is crucial to the living or working environment, our recommendation is to limit, if at all possible, any penetration through the ceiling and instead use surface mounted light fittings and the like
Talk to your acoustic specialists at Cairns Plaster Professionals today to help reduce acoustic sound leakage while maintaining a cosmetically appealing finish.
CAN YOU INSTALL AN ACOUSTIC CEILING OVER AN EXISTING CEILING?
Yes, you can install acoustic plasterboard or tiles under your existing ceiling. However, it's imperative that we check the adequacy of your current ceiling support system and whether it is strong enough to support the weight of the additional ceiling. Contact us today to arrange a free on-site inspection, consultation and quote.
HOW MUCH DOES AN ACOUSTIC CEILING COST?
The cost to install an acoustic ceiling varies depending on whether acoustic plasterboard or tiles are chosen, whether you're looking to install acoustic insulation at the same time, as well as the size and location of the area. Even if you're only planning and budgeting for now, contact us today for a free and no-obligation quote.
