Pink Soundbreak R2.0 Acoustic Batts (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.

• 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

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

They are not recommended as the main insulation for external walls, roof spaces, ceilings under a roof or subfloors, where a higher R-value is needed to keep your home warm in winter and cool in summer. For these areas, choose our Ceiling Insulation Products, and/or Wall Insulation Products, which offer a significantly higher R-value for their thickness.

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.
