Soundblocker Acoustic Lighting Kit - Modular Fittings

Modular side strips are fixed around all sides of the fitting. These are 1200 x 100mm in size and are self adhesive. They are positioned onto the side of the fitting and should return onto the back of the ceiling covering the tee and any gap between the fitting and the ceiling. Two are required for a 600mm x 600mm fitting and three for a 1200mm x 600mm fitting. 600mm x 200mm modular end caps are available for open ended modular fittings.

Modular side strips

Soundblockers can normally be placed on top of the fitting when low brightness or louvre type diffusers are used. Air must be allowed to flow through the louvre, and circulate around the tubes and switch gear. They should not be placed on top if a plastic lens type diffuser is used.

The side strips must cover any gap between the fitting and the ceiling. For open ended fittings, modular side strips are fitted down the side of the fitting, and modular endcaps on the open ends, returning onto the back of the ceiling and covering all gaps.

Sizes:

Modular Side Strips: 1200 x 100mm x 13mm
Modular End Caps: 600 x 200mm

Soundblocker Acoustic Lighting Kit: Recessed Downlighters Acoustic Hoods

Soundblocker Downlighter Acoustic Hoods are placed over the fitting. They reduce sound breakout, whilst allowing air to flow through the fitting. There is one standard size which accommodates most fittings (check with the fitting manufacturer for clearance, as we can make special sizes).

Soundblocker downlighter hood

A hole is cut in the Soundblocker to accommodate the down lighter and the hood is simply positioned over this. The foam of the Soundblocker must not touch the fitting. The hood is manufactured from a non combustible material with ‘Class 0’ internal absorbent lining.

Down Lighter Acoustic Hoods
Height	210mm (140mm internally)
Width	220mm (180mm internally)
Length	210mm (155mm internally)
Weight	2.5kg

Other sizes of hood are available on request.

Air Diffuser Acoustic Hoods

Soundblocker Air Diffuser Acoustic Hoods are for use where air is vented via the ceiling void through grilles within the ceiling. Unless acoustically treated, sound will travel through the void, reducing the acoustic performance of the ceiling. The hood is placed on top of the air grille within the ceiling grid. (The ceiling grid must be suspended in each corner to support the weight of the diffuser.)

Width	595mm

Perimeters

At perimeters or around columns etc. Soundblocker self-adhesive perimeter strips should be used. These are positioned half onto the Soundblocker and half onto the wall forming a tight right angle joint.
