superb acoustic thermal insulation

Sonatherm is a seamless, acoustic thermal insulation system for basement car parks, cantilever buildings, balconies, soffits of walkways and underpasses. Sonatherm acoustic thermal insulation consists of foil-faced mineral wool slabs over-sprayed with a choice of SonaSpray acoustic spray finishes (see separate SonaSpray fc, SonaSpray K-13 special and SonaSpray K-13 standard products for details) to achieve a fire rating and aesthetic appearance.

By varying the thickness of the mineral wool slabs all permutations of acoustic thermal insulation are achieved. The layer of SonaSpray also means that any sound is absorbed rather than being reflected, considerably reducing reverberation times and therefore reducing overall noise levels within the space.

recyclable, low embodied energy & good for the environment

Sonatherm is perfect for thermal acoustic sound insulation. Reconstruction of a building may necessitate removal of the SonaSpray and EPS components of Sonatherm. The SonaSpray component can be recycled or disposed of as a non-special waste to landfill.

what our customers say

“I’d just like to convey my utter delight and relief at being able to use the new large hall. It was literally visible this evening, how our Beaver Scouts calmed as they moved from the small hall to the larger, more peaceful room. Thanks to you we had one of our best ever indoor activities. It was calm, fun and enjoyable for all. Thank you so much, I am only vaguely aware how much work you have put into this project, and want to make sure you know how much we appreciate it.

Well worth the money!”

The Beaver Scout Team and Wye Village Hall committee

“I am writing to congratulate your company for the success achieved in the reduction of the noise level in our school dining room when 200+ children are having their lunch.

Prior to the application of SonaSpray, the noise level was deafening, and now it is possible to talk to ones neighbour in a normal voice when lunching at the staff table…”

D.K.Emmett, Bursar, Fulham Prep School – SonaSpray fcx

“Magical stuff! Well worth it – a huge improvement to one of our high ceilinged classrooms. The feedback is that there is a massive difference and it is definitely a more productive acoustic environment for the children and staff.

Thank you very much for improving things for us.”

Abigail Hercules, Bursar, Dallington School

“Once again thank you for your prompt response with processing our order for the additional Iso-Mounts. The owners took us by surprise when they asked for the additional area to be done, but they have been so impressed with the results of all the acoustic ceilings that they felt they just had to have it done.”

Derrick Murphy, D&M Murphy Plastering Contractors – Oscar Iso-Mount Type 1 Soundproof Ceiling

“The architect’s solution of fitting high level ‘sound absorbing’ panels produced a negligible improvement. We continued to ‘battle’ with intolerable ‘echo’ making the room unfit for its-purpose.

Following an independent sound monitoring exercise an alternative acoustic dampening application was recommended. Sonaspray was selected. My caretaking staff were greatly impressed by the attention to detail paid by your engineers in the installation procedure. Every surface was carefully covered and the procedure was very professionally completed.

The effect of the application has been tremendous! The hall is a different room and PE, assemblies and lunch-times have become pleasurable occasions compared to the sonic battleground we experienced previously.”

Headteacher, Meadowside School, Gloucester – SonaSpray

“We are pleased to confirm that we have used SonaSpray to good effect in a large sixth form college dining hall in Leicester.

Previously, the hall with its hard, highly reflective surfaces, was an uncomfortable space with high noise levels and poor speech quality/intelligibility. The Introduction of SonaSpray to the ceiling and certain wall panels has reduced the reverberation times, significantly reducing noise levels and improving speech quality. The nature of the material and its application have enabled us to follow and retain the existing plaster moulded features of the ceiling and walls.”

M. Strangeway, Strangeway Partnership – SonaSpray
