GIB Noiseline®, A Component Of GIB® Noise Control Systems

GIB Noiseline® is the primary plasterboard used in GIB® Noise Control Systems. GIB Noiseline® is a specially developed lining with an extremely dense core offering more mass than standard plasterboard for more effective reduction of noise through building elements. GIB® wall and floor/ceiling noise control systems offer excellent performance for both airborne and impact sound in dwellings and Intertenancy structures. The range offered consists of timber and steel framed wall systems, and timber floor joist with metal ceiling batten floor/ceiling systems. GIB® Noise Control Systems also include constructions for external environmental noise reduction in walls and ceilings.

Application/Purpose

Mass is an integral component of noise most control systems. Additional mass can make a significant difference to the reduction of sound transmission through building elements. The GIB Noiseline® high density offers extra mass while maintaining standard wallboard thickness, providing all other desirable attributes of plasterboard and offers superior fire resistance. When included in GIB® Noise Control Systems along with other components, such as cavity insulation, GIB Noiseline® will contribute to a significant improvement in noise transmission loss

Benefits/Advantages

- Provides effective solutions to reduce noise transmission between habitable spaces in single and multi story dwellings.
- GIB® Noise Control Systems have been extensively independently tested and appraised and can be depended on to perform.
- They represent state of the art in noise control materials and cost effective design.
- GIB® Noise Control Systems, including linings and their fixings have a serviceable life of at least 50 years.
- GIB® Noise Control Systems provide excellent passive fire and smoke protection.
- GIB® Noise Control Systems will not present a health hazard to people.

Composition

GIB® Plasterboard is made up of naturally occurring gypsum, 100% recycled paper, and a small quantity of other ingredients (which includes approved glues and additives required to improve the quality of the finished board). Gypsum or, to use its scientific name, calcium sulphate dihydrate (CaSO4.2H2O) is a naturally occurring mineral and most deposits are considered to be precipitates formed during the evaporation of sea waters saturated with soluble salts. GIB Noiseline® is a specially developed lining with an extremely dense core making it more effective to reduce noise.

Technical Properties

GIB Noiseline®:
1. Is a high-density fibreglass reinforced paper-bound gypsum-plaster core sheet lining material.
2. Available in 10mm and 13mm sheet thicknesses, sheet width of 1200mm and lengths of 2400mm, 2700mm and 3000mm.
3. Sheets have a taper on the two long sheet edges.
4. Nominal weights are 9kg/m² and 12.4kg/m² for 10mm and 13mm thick sheets respectively.
5. GIB Noiseline face paper is light buff in colour.

GIB® Noise Control Systems:
1. Are a range of intertenancy and sub-intertenancy building element constructions based on the use of GIB® Standard Plasterboard, GIB Noiseline® and GIB Fyreline®.
2. Include systems that meet the provisions of NZBC Clause G6 for the insulation of airborne and structure-borne sound through wall and floor/ceiling elements between occupancies.
3. Must be used in dry internal situations and must not be used where likely to be exposed to liquid water or where extended exposure to humidity above 90% RH is expected.

Installation and Maintenance Summary

- Lining systems must be protected from internal and external moisture.
- GIB® Plasterboard, GIB Noiseline® and GIB Fyreline® can be ordered in many standard sizes allowing builders to order the most efficient lengths.
- GIB® Plasterboard, GIB Noiseline® and GIB Fyreline® are completely recyclable.
- Depending on the size of the project, the waste plasterboard can either be blended with compost and returned to soils or ground up and spread around the building site reducing the volumes of construction waste going to landfills.
