Applications
Quietstone is available as two separate products: Quietstone Light and Quietstone Standard.
Quietstone Light is a rigid, durable absorber made from recycled and expanded glass beads. The material is suitable for external use, indoor use and settings which require high impact resistance. It can be worked on site, pigmented or treated with a range of finishes and is non combustible, chemically inert and non fibrous. Panels can be either mechanically fixed or bonded and a range of sizes are available including custom options. Ideal for adding an absorbent facing to noise barriers and many other areas requiring a durable and weather resistant solution. Installation is simple as panels can be cut on site and mechanically fixed or bonded to the substrate. Many build up options can be used to suit acoustic requirements and budget. When an aesthetically neutral finish is needed, Quietstone Light is the base panel of our Quietspray system. The system applied to a ceiling gives a perfect, plaster-like finish whilst providing high sound absorption. One of the main advantages of Quietstone Light is the ease of installation. Panels can be worked using normal
woodwork equipment and a dust mask. We can adjust the adhesive to create very flexible panels. Likewise, if you
want an even surface on flat walls, our standard panels are ideal. Bonding can be achieved using either adhesive or mechanical fixing depending on substrate and setting.
We can provide Ceresit CM18 thin-bed adhesive mortal which will adhere to all solid, loadbearing surfaces. This
allows for very rapid, economical installation. Alternatively, Mechanical fixing is suitable and allows for frameworks
and air gaps which improve acoustic performance. Contact us for guidance and technical details.Quietstone Light

Quietstone Standard
Quietstone Standard is a rigid hard-wearing natural stone with a crisp granulated surface that can provide both a high acoustic performance and practical solution to a wide range of internal and industrial applications. It has been developed for use where traditional soft solutions will quickly exhibit damage or performance reduction, from either physical or airborne impairment.
The use of Quietstone Standard is recommended in areas where strength and damage resistance is an important consideration, and for all external applications. Quietstone Standard has been installed and tested in many environments, for guidance on any aspect of Quietstone Standard and its performance, please contact us.
Quietstone Standard is offered in 3 formats which recognize the varying degrees of technical input required in industrial situations.
- Quietstone panels, for installation onto existing structures, Quietstone panels can be cut and fixed on site without the need for specialist tools.
- Quietstone screens, for simple noise enclosures and screens. Quietstone can be supplied complete with support framework for installation and assembly on site.
- Quietstone design, for larger projects where the application requires specialist technical input, Sound Absorption UK Ltd. offers custom made solutions to meet specific acoustic requirements, which together with a network of specialist installers can provide a complete design, supply and install package.
