Acara Concepts distribute natural and ecological thermal and acoustic insulation materials. We supply PhoneStar soundproofing boards for reducing both airborne sound (e.g. talking, music noise) and impact sound (e.g. footsteps noise overhead) through walls, floors and ceilings. We also supply Hofatex wood fibre thermal insulation which can be used to very effectively insulate walls, roofs, floors and attics. These natural boards are breathable so allow water vapour to pass through the insulation without damage. They also add thermal mass to buildings which means that the insulation will store excess heat during the summer and release it at night-time as it cools. This is very effective in timber frame buildings and in converted attics. Lignotrend absorption panels absorb background noise and reduce reverberation so that speech is much clearer. These contemporary and finished panels are made from engineered timber slats with a wood fibre backing so are totally natural.
PhoneStar Soundproofing Board
PhoneStar is a 15mm thick soundproofing board which significantly reduces noise coming through walls, floors or ceilings. It greatly reduces both airborne sound (e.g. talking, music or traffic noise) as well as impact sound (e.g. footstep noise from above). The boards are totally natural and ecological. The PhoneStar system can be fitted as a DIY project or we can recommend builders to install the system for you. Please see www.acaraconcepts.com
Pavatex Wood Fibre Thermal Insulation
Pavatex is a totally natural and ecological insulation which is used to insulate walls (both internally and externally), roofs, walls and attics. The wood fibre generally comes in rigid boards for most applications but is also available in a flexible batt for snugly fitting between studs and rafters. Pavatex wood fibre is particularly beneficial on older houses with solid walls due to its breathability. It also adds thermal mass to timber frame buildings and converted attics so helps to prevent overheating in the warm summer months and keeps the building warmer in winter. Pavatex wood fibre also adds sound insulation to the property.
Lignotrend Room Acoustics Panels
Lignotrend panels are fitted to walls and ceilings to reduce echo and reverberation within a room so that speech clarity is much improved. The NaturePlus certified boards are made from natural timber slats with a wood fibre backing to absorb noise. This significantly improves the acoustics in the room. The LIGNO acoustic panels are a finished product and are very contemporary looking.
