Professional Level Sound Insulation Panel System

ZIPS-Cinema system is installed directly onto the surface of walls and ceilings without using a frame. Improves sound insulation by 19-21 dB.

ZIPS Cinema has the widest range of isolated frequencies and the highest level of noise reduction of the entire line of ZIPS sandwich panels.

Eight Special Vibration Mounts

ZIPS Cinema panels are attached to walls and ceiling by special vibration compensator mounts that prevent transmission of noise from insulated surface to external surface of the structure.

Unique design of vibration compensator mounts and the method to attach panels through these mounts are patented.

Additional Sound Insulation for Walls and Ceilings up to 21 dB

The use of lightweight sound-absorbing and heavy sound-reflecting layers in the panels, as well as the absence of rigid connections in the form of framework, ensures efficient reduction of transmitted sound waves.

Additional airborne sound isolation value for ZIPS Cinema is from 19 to 21 dB.

ZIPS Vector Foam concrete, brick, tongue-and-groove block ΔRw up to 12-14 dB 53 Talking, TV, radio The thinnest panel of the ZIPS family. More often is used for sound-insulation of walls and partitions.
ZIPS Modul Brick, concrete ΔRw = 16-18 dB 83 Loud talking, shouting, TV, dog barking, water noise Effective system, suitable for solution of 80% of all household noise issues
ZIPS Cinema Concrete, brick ΔRw = 19-20 dB 133 Loud talking, shouting, TV, dog barking, water noise, noise from a loud audio system or a home theater The most effective sound-insulating system in the entire ZIPS range. When you use this system, it means that everything that can be done has been done.
ZIPS III-Ultra Foam concrete, brick, concrete ΔRw = 16-18 dB 55 Loud talking, shouting, TV, dog barking, water noise The ultimate system in terms of the thickness/efficiency ratio. Despite being thin, it ensures great additional sound insulation and is suitable for 80% of tasks.
ZIPS-4 Foam concrete, brick, concrete ΔRw = 16-19 dB 55-105 Loud talking, shouting, TV, dog barking, water noise Family flagship . This system is for those who value their time and money. It not only ensures top efficiency despite its lesser thickness, but also allows to level the surface using adjusting supports, thus avoiding wet processes.
ZIPS Slim Foam concrete, aerated concrete, tongue-and-groove block ΔRw = 11 dB 37.5 Conversations, TV, radio The thinnest panel of ZIPS family. It is used for sound insulation of inter-flat walls made of foam concrete with a thickness of < 200 mm

Maintenance info

Composition and description

ZIPS Cinema sound-insulating panel system consists of 120 mm (4.8 in) thick ZIPS Cinema sandwich panels and special 12.5 mm (0.5 in) thick finishing plasterboard sheets. Total thickness of the system is 133 mm (5.2 in).

ZIPS Cinema sandwich panels are a combination of moisture-resistant backer board layers and a basalt fiber slab. Each sandwich panel includes eight vibration insulating mounts for installation on the surface.

Storage

ZIPS Cinema panels must be stored in dry, enclosed premises, away from any precipitation.

The panels should be stacked horizontally on wooden pallets, boards or other padding materials to avoid sagging.

Features of the material usage

ZIPS Cinema sound-insulating panel system is used for additional sound insulation of single-layer construction structures such as walls and ceilings. Installed without a frame.

Do not use the system for partitions and ceilings less than 80 mm (3 in) thick.
