Product Information

Full details

The IKoustic MuteBoard 3 is designed for homeowners and contractors seeking a high-performance soundproofing solution that minimizes space loss in residential or commercial renovations. By providing substantial airborne noise reduction through a slim 25mm profile, it allows for effective acoustic treatment in tight spaces; however, due to its significant weight of 31kg per panel, it requires careful handling and robust mounting surfaces for proper installation.

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of MuteBoard 3?

It is designed to reduce airborne noise transmission through walls while maintaining a thin profile.

Can I install MuteBoard 3 by myself?

Due to the 31kg weight per panel, it is strongly recommended that at least two people handle the installation for safety.

Is this board effective against impact noise?

MuteBoard 3 is specifically optimized for airborne sound; while it provides some benefit, impact noise usually requires a decoupled floor or wall system.

Does this product meet UK building regulations?

Yes, it is compliant with Part E Building Regulations for the UK and Ireland when installed correctly as part of an acoustic specification.

What is the dimensions of the board?

Each panel measures 1200mm x 1200mm x 25mm.

Can I paint directly onto the MuteBoard 3?

The board typically requires a finish such as plasterboard or a skim coat to achieve a paintable surface.

Troubleshooting

Noise reduction is not meeting expectations after installation.

Check all perimeter edges and around sockets or switches for gaps; seal any identified air paths with high-density acoustic sealant.

Difficulty securing the board to the wall.

Ensure the wall surface is flat and use appropriately rated fixings for the specific wall substrate (brick or timber stud).

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent acoustic insulation for a thin profile
  • Meets rigorous Part E building regulation standards
  • Versatile mounting options for brick or stud walls
  • Large panel size reduces the number of seams

Cons

  • High individual panel weight (31kg) requires two-person handling
  • Requires professional-grade installation techniques for optimal acoustic sealing
  • Less effective against impact vibration compared to airborne noise

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Before installation, ensure the substrate wall is level, clean, and structurally sound enough to support the weight of the panels. If applying to stud frames, ensure the frames are spaced according to local building codes to handle the load. For direct-to-wall applications, mechanical fasteners must be used to penetrate the surface and anchor the board securely. Once installed, the board can be finished with standard drywall techniques, such as taping and skimming, to provide a seamless appearance. Maintenance involves periodic inspection of the perimeter seals to ensure no cracks have formed that could allow sound leakage over time.
