Knauf Insulation Highlights Friction-fit with 610mm Partition Batt

Acoustic performance in internal partitions is influenced by multiple factors, including system designs, construction quality, and installation. Among these, continuous cavity fill plays an important role in enabling insulation to absorb and dampen sound energy within the wall assembly.

When insulation shifts or sags, even partially, the resulting reduction in contact can affect how sound travels through the partition. Over time, this can lead to acoustic outcomes that no longer reflect the design intent.

Recognising the importance of this design consideration, Knauf Insulation has introduced the 610mm partition batt, engineered to achieve reliable friction-fit within metal stud framing. The batt is designed to remain within the metal studs over time, helping to support consistent acoustic performance throughout the building’s service life.

Beyond performance, friction-fit insulation also delivers a more efficient installation on site. When insulation remain friction-fit in place, the need for fixing pins can be reduced or eliminated, installation becomes faster and more predictable, on-site labour and material use can be optimised, and cutting or trimming requirement can be minimised. The 610mm partition batt is also available in folded batts and supported by compression technology, addressing transport efficiency, storage volume, and site space optimisation.

Tested and certified in accordance with Malaysian requirements, including CIDB, SIRIM, and BOMBA certification, Knauf Insulation 610mm Glasswool partition batts provides architects and specifier with greater confidence in specifying a consistent performance project!
