Pink® Soundbreak™ R2.0 Acoustic Wall Insulation (70mm)

A standard insulation batt keeps a room warm. Soundbreak also helps keep it quiet. It’s a high-density glasswool batt made to absorb sound inside the wall cavity, so less noise passes between rooms or in from outside, and it delivers an R2.0 thermal rating at the same time. It’s made in Australia by Fletcher Insulation and backed by a lifetime warranty.

Key benefits

• Designed for exceptional acoustic performance in residential walls
• R2.0 thermal rating in a slim 70mm batt
• High-density batt that’s firm and easy to fit between studs
• Helps reduce noise between rooms and from the outside
• Non-combustible
• Made from up to 80% recycled content
• Made in Australia by Fletcher Insulation

Where to use it

• Bedroom walls, especially next to living areas or a busy street
• Home theatres and media rooms
• Walls between bathrooms and living areas
• Walls between units, or between a home and a garage or workshop
• Ceilings and floors between storeys, where noise carries

Why choose Soundbreak over a standard wall batt?

• Choose Soundbreak if noise is the problem, such as a bedroom beside a living room, a theatre room or a noisy street.
• Choose a standard wall batt if you only need thermal insulation, since it covers more area per pack and costs less per square metre.
• Soundbreak reduces noise, but it doesn’t make a room soundproof. The result also depends on the plasterboard, framing and sealing. Fletcher’s technical team can advise on a full wall system.

Installation tips

• Follow the Pink Batts installation guide for walls and the relevant building requirements. Pink® Batts Wall and Ceiling Installation Guide
• Cut batts slightly oversize so they friction-fit between studs.
• Fill the cavity fully, without compressing the batts, and avoid gaps at the corners and edges.
• Wear gloves, long sleeves and a dust mask when cutting.
• Check the NCC requirements for your climate zone.

Where it’s not for

FAQ

What’s the difference between Soundbreak and a normal wall batt? Soundbreak is a high-density batt designed for acoustic performance. A normal wall batt is designed mainly for thermal insulation.
Will Soundbreak soundproof my room? No. It reduces noise transfer, but results also depend on the whole wall system.
Why is it green? Fletcher now makes Soundbreak in a distinctive “Serene Green” colour to tell it apart from standard Pink Batts. Performance is the same. Older stock may be pink.
What thickness frame does it suit? 70mm, which is common for internal walls.
Is it a thermal insulation too? Yes, it has an R2.0 thermal rating.
How many packs do I need? Measure the wall area, subtract windows and doors, divide by the coverage per pack and allow a little extra.
Can I collect in store? Yes, click-and-collect is available at checkout.
