System | Material to be sound-insulated | Efficiency, dB | Total thickness, mm | Noises to be reduced | Super power and its application |
ZIPS Vector | Foam concrete, brick, tongue-and-groove block | ΔRw up to 12-14 dB | 53 | Talking, TV, radio | The thinnest panel of the ZIPS family. More often is used for sound-insulation of walls and partitions. |
ZIPS Modul | Brick, concrete | ΔRw = 16-18 dB | 83 | Loud talking, shouting, TV, dog barking, water noise | Effective system, suitable for solution of 80% of all household noise issues |
ZIPS Cinema | Concrete, brick | ΔRw = 19-20 dB | 133 | Loud talking, shouting, TV, dog barking, water noise, noise from a loud audio system or a home theater | The most effective sound-insulating system in the entire ZIPS range. When you use this system, it means that everything that can be done has been done. |
ZIPS III-Ultra | Foam concrete, brick, concrete | ΔRw = 16-18 dB | 55 | Loud talking, shouting, TV, dog barking, water noise | The ultimate system in terms of the thickness/efficiency ratio. Despite being thin, it ensures great additional sound insulation and is suitable for 80% of tasks. |
ZIPS-4 | Foam concrete, brick, concrete | ΔRw = 16-19 dB | 55-105 | Loud talking, shouting, TV, dog barking, water noise | Family flagship . This system is for those who value their time and money. It not only ensures top efficiency despite its lesser thickness, but also allows to level the surface using adjusting supports, thus avoiding wet processes. |
ZIPS Slim | Foam concrete, aerated concrete, tongue-and-groove block | ΔRw = 11 dB | 37.5 | Conversations, TV, radio | The thinnest panel of ZIPS family. It is used for sound insulation of inter-flat walls made of foam concrete with a thickness of < 200 mm |
Installation of the panel system ZIPS must be carried out in strict accordance with the installation manual.
Composition and description
ZIPS Slim sound insulation panel system consists of 25 mm (1 in) thick ZIPS Slim sandwich panels and special 12.5 mm (0.5 in) thick finishing gypsum boards. The total thickness of the system is 37,5 mm (1.5 in).
ZIPS Slim sandwich panels are a combination of tongue-and-groove gypsum fiber block and elastic multilayer glass felt. Each sandwich panel contains eight VIBRID vibration insulating joints created using the latest patented technology for installation on the surface.
Eight special adjustable supports made from Sylomer material are provided to mount the system onto a wall or floor slab. In their initial position, these supports protrude by more than 6 mm (0.2 in) above the sandwich panel plane, but during installation they are pressed in and the minimum system thickness together with finishing layer of plasterboard does not exceed 37,5 mm (1.5 in).
Storage
ZIPS Slim panels should be stored in dry enclosed premises on padding materials to avoid sagging.
