Professional Level Sound Insulation Panel System
ZIPS-Cinema system is installed directly onto the surface of walls and ceilings without using a frame. Improves sound insulation by 19-21 dB.
ZIPS Cinema has the widest range of isolated frequencies and the highest level of noise reduction of the entire line of ZIPS sandwich panels.
Eight Special Vibration Mounts
ZIPS Cinema panels are attached to walls and ceiling by special vibration compensator mounts that prevent transmission of noise from insulated surface to external surface of the structure.
Unique design of vibration compensator mounts and the method to attach panels through these mounts are patented.
Additional Sound Insulation for Walls and Ceilings up to 21 dB
The use of lightweight sound-absorbing and heavy sound-reflecting layers in the panels, as well as the absence of rigid connections in the form of framework, ensures efficient reduction of transmitted sound waves.
Additional airborne sound isolation value for ZIPS Cinema is from 19 to 21 dB.
Features
ZIPS Cinema sandwich panels are used for professional sound insulation of premises.
They can be used in premises with high sound insulation requirements. ZIPS Cinema panels have proven their efficiency in offices located close to production facilities, cinemas, clubs, and sound recording studios.

Which ZIPS is Best for Myself? Comparison Table
| 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 |
Maintenance info
Composition and description
ZIPS Cinema sound-insulating panel system consists of 120 mm (4.8 in) thick ZIPS Cinema sandwich panels and special 12.5 mm (0.5 in) thick finishing plasterboard sheets. Total thickness of the system is 133 mm (5.2 in).
ZIPS Cinema sandwich panels are a combination of moisture-resistant backer board layers and a basalt fiber slab. Each sandwich panel includes eight vibration insulating mounts for installation on the surface.
Storage
ZIPS Cinema panels must be stored in dry, enclosed premises, away from any precipitation.
The panels should be stacked horizontally on wooden pallets, boards or other padding materials to avoid sagging.
Features of the material usage
ZIPS Cinema sound-insulating panel system is used for additional sound insulation of single-layer construction structures such as walls and ceilings. Installed without a frame.
Do not use the system for partitions and ceilings less than 80 mm (3 in) thick.

Popular questions
Yes, you can. However, you should take into account that maximum load on ZIPS Cinema wall panels is 35 kg (77 lbs) per linear meter and the load may be fixed at any point with drywall screws or any other fixing attachments designed for gypsum plasterboard (the load limit for ZIPS Cinema is 35 kg (77 lbs) per linear meter)
Ceiling panels can bear a load up to 6 kg (13 lbs) per square meter foxed at any point. Attachment of higher loads onto the ZIPS Cinema panels installed on the ceiling is not allowed.
By adding a finishing layer of specialized gypsum plasterboard to the ZIPS system, you can preserve the system's sound insulation efficiency, boost its bearing capacity, and facilitate further finishing.
For a better effect, we recommend using a weighted gypsum plasterboard with a surface mass (about 12 kg/m2 (2.4 lb/ft2)).

Yes, you can install ZIPS Cinema panel system even if your renovation has already been finished. You can install insulation directly onto the wall. No need to remove wallpaper; two layers of Ultrakustik 150 tape shall be laid along the perimeter.
The sound-insulating lining should be brought up to the ceiling overlap and rest on the floor screed (the finish coating should be cut off).
We recommend using surface mounted outlets and switches, while the hole for wires, if laid behind the sound-insulating structure, should be insulated with Ultrakustik VS sealant. If a built-in option is required, then Ultrakustik Box outlet boxes can be used to preserve the efficiency of the design.
We recommend that you fill cracks and holes with cement mortar or sealant.
