- Frameless wall cladding ZIPS STS
Frameless wall cladding ZIPS STS
Thickness: 23 mm
ΔRw ≈ 10 dB
When applied?
- To increase the sound insulation of interior partitions made of tongue-and-groove gypsum boards and aerated concrete with a thickness of not more than 100 mm.
Overview
The partition is sheathed with ZIPS-STS material on one side only. Sheathing on both sides is devoid of practical meaning - the effect of additional soundproofing is significantly manifested after one side sheathing and does not increase when a layer is added on the back side of the partition!

You can calculate the approximate estimate of sound insulation in your case. To do this, it is enough to enter the surface area that is supposed to be isolated. The estimate is calculated with a 5% margin, as well as taking into account rounding to whole packages. Please note that the estimate is approximate, since it does not take into account the individual characteristics of your premises.

General construction materials:
ZIPS-STS panels are mounted only on one side of a thin partition 80-100 mm thick.
Each panel has 8 attachment points to secure it to the surface. It’s more convenient to install panels from the bottom-upwards, from left to right. For the first panel, the ridges are cut along the short and long sides, for the next panels of the first row - only along the long side.
Panels are joined together by means of a tongue-and-groove connection. Tongue-andgroove joints are additionally tightened together with self-tapping screws for gypsum plasterboards 3x25 mm with a pitch of 150 mm.
If the panel is completely placed on the wall surface, its installation is carried out using only six fasteners (central attachment points are not used). If the panel is to be cut, all available attachment points are used.
