Akustak® - Acoustic Modular Wall System

Akustak®, by Mute Group®, is a British made, acoustic modular wall system; granted a UK patent in 2020. Specified on numerous high-profile music production and podcast studio builds; clients include Steven Bartlett and the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama.

Designed for materials optimisation and off-site construction, Akustak® radically reduces waste, during manufacture and installation, whilst its unique demountable form facilitates recovery and reuse.

In recognition of its sustainability credentials, Akustak® has been selected for membership by the Alliance for Sustainable Building Products (ASBP) and the UK Green Building Council (UKGBC). It has also been chosen for growth and scale support by the UK Government's Innovate UK EDGE.

Prefabricated and portable, Akustak® accelerates construction timescales, with configurations installed from 15 m2 / per hour.

Akustak® has been laboratory tested for fire safety (BS EN ISO 1364-1) and resistance to sound (BS EN ISO 10140-2 & 717-1), guaranteeing Building Regulations – Part B and E compliance. 

Akustak® CONFIGURATIONS:

Aku125: Independent twin-faced, acoustic modular wall system; typically installed to form new spaces and separations, where high levels of sound insulation are required, for example, interview rooms, meeting rooms and private offices.  

• Laboratory tested to *Rw 49 dB airborne sound insulation (in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-2 & 717-1)
• Laboratory tested to *79 minutes fire resistance (in accordance with BS EN ISO 1364-1)

Aku133: Independent single-faced, acoustic modular wall system; typically installed in front of existing walls, where a significant increase in sound insulation is required, for example, party walls between dwelling-houses and flats.

• Laboratory tested to *Rw 43 dB airborne sound insulation (in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-2 & 717-1)

AkuStudio: Twin independent frame, acoustic modular wall system; typically installed to form new spaces and separations, where very high levels of sound insulation are required, for example, recording studios and test chambers.  

AkuStudio can also be used to form party walls between purpose-built dwelling-houses & flats and dwelling-houses & flats formed by material change of use; guaranteeing Building Regulations – Part B (fire safety) and E (resistance to sound) compliance.

• Laboratory tested to *Rw 62 dB airborne sound insulation (in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-2 & 717-1)
