Bradford R3.1 – Soundscreen Insulation
Bradford SoundScreen insulation batts, when installed in your home, can effectively reduce noise transfer by up to 75%, creating a quiet and peaceful living environment. Ideal for installation in internal walls or the intermediate floor of double-story homes, Bradford SoundScreen insulation is specifically designed to stop unwanted noise. For optimal results, it is recommended to install this insulation during the construction or renovation phase. While it is possible to retrofit insulation later in the life of the building, it often involves the costly exercise of removing floorboards or ceiling plaster to access the required cavities. Bradford SoundScreen batts offer versatility and make a great addition to any room in the house. With exceptional soundproofing qualities, they are ideally suited for use around home theaters, bedrooms, ensuites, and laundries.
CSR Bradford’s R3.1 Insulation, as the name suggests, is specifically designed and manufactured to effectively reduce and minimize the transmission of unwanted noise throughout the home. While the “R-3.1” represents the insulation’s thermal protective value and is not directly linked to its sound-blocking effectiveness, there is often a close correlation between the R-Value and the insulation’s thickness, which contributes to its sound-blocking properties. With its 110mm thickness, the R3.1 insulation Soundscreen batt stands out as one of the highest performing acoustic wall batts available. However, it’s crucial to ensure that your wall cavities have sufficient space before placing an order. It is important to note that attempting to fit a 110mm insulation batt into a 90mm wall cavity is not recommended.

Installing Tips from No Gap Insulation
When it comes to installing glasswool insulation, it is relatively straightforward as long as you follow the necessary precautions. To cut the insulation batt, a long-bladed sharp knife is sufficient, and the timber studs and joists often serve as suitable backing for the cutting process. However, it is crucial to exercise caution and ensure you stay far away from any wiring. Never slice towards your hand or body to avoid any potential injuries. A retractable blade knife with a snap-off blade is an excellent tool for this purpose. After using the knife for some time, you may notice the blade becoming dull. Installers often utilize the intersecting wall studs and noggins to secure the blunted end of the knife and snap off the worn-out portion of the blade.
