In the EN 13950 standard, which is a European standard, the requirements for determining the properties and performance of thermal / acoustic insulation composite panels made of an insulation material laminated to gypsum boards, the main use of which is internal insulation of walls (heat and acoustic insulation), are explained and test methods are defined.
These panels are attached with adhesives or mechanical fastenings to vertical solid backgrounds and mechanical fastenings to wooden or metal frames with the drywall face exposed. The fixing and joining method has to ensure that the insulation material is not exposed in its normal application.
The EN 13950 standard covers the following performance features:
The performance of the products is ensured by the evaluation and verification of their stability according to the standard in question. In short, this standard includes additional technical features that are important for the use and acceptance of the product by the construction industry.
Gypsum board, a combination of plasterboard and steel layers, is both heat and soundproof. Each layer increases mass and density, which are key aspects of good sound insulation materials . These make it an excellent choice for wall and ceiling sound insulation. While thermal insulation restricts heat transfer, acoustic insulation restricts sound transfer or reverberation. The combined product is thermal acoustic insulation, which is effective in reducing both heat and noise transfer. Thermal insulation acts as a barrier against heat transfer and retains heat in the environment. The type of exterior wall insulation generally depends on the amount of noise pollution from outside. All thermal insulation also reduces noise transmission to some extent, but acoustic insulation is specifically designed for soundproofing purposes.
Our organization also provides testing services for gypsum board thermal / acoustic insulation composite panels within the scope of EN 13950 standard, with its trained and expert staff and advanced technological equipment, among the numerous test, measurement, analysis and evaluation studies it provides for businesses in various sectors.
