Space-saving party wall

The IW148’s limited thickness (148mm) makes it a space-saving party wall. This solid wall has excellent acoustic insulation (56dB) and very high fire-resistance: at least 90 minutes. The IW148 is a double-layer system. You put the wall together yourself on the building site using two VP54 panels with a 40mm cavity in between them. This anchorless cavity – which will need to filled with mineral wool – – prevents impact noise and guarantees sound insulation.

The IW148 is eminently suitable for use in refurbishments, to separate homes in a space-saving way and to subdivide homes into smaller units. The wall is also frequently used in places where discretion is required, such as hotel rooms, offices, laboratories and hospitals. The IW148 is also very popular in sound studios, for instance.
