Description
Acoustic Foam 12mm (Standard, 1m wide) is a flexible, flame-retardant, open-cell polyether foam with a carefully controlled cell structure that provides excellent sound absorption and noise reduction. Its robust, durable design offers good mechanical strength, making it suitable for application on flat, curved, or complex surfaces without losing performance.
This high-quality impregnated acoustic foam is compliant with UK Building Regulations BS476 Parts 6 & 7, achieving both Class 0 and Class 1 fire ratings. It reduces airborne sound waves by increasing air resistance, which lowers wave amplitude and dissipates sound energy as heat, resulting in effective noise control and enhanced acoustic quality.
