Many modern commercial projects include air conditioning units and condensing units mounted on building rooftops. Generally these units are mounted to a structural deck constructed by the builder. Increasingly, development consents require acoustic treatment of condenser decks creating time consuming and expensive co-ordination by the architect, builder and consultants to agree and construct enclosures or screens to mitigate noise for nearby neighbours.

Modular Wall Systems has developed a new modular AcoustiSorb™ condenser deck screen and enclosure system. With superior sound absorption, the AcoustiSorb™ Screen is a pre-engineered, all-weather steel post and panel system enabling quick and easy installation to new or existing rooftop condenser decks.

The AcoustiSorb condenser deck and enclosure system was effectively used as an acoustic mitigation solution at a new Woolworths store at Wolli Creek recently. With the store located in close proximity to a cluster of apartment buildings, it was essential to reduce the sound levels from its rooftop condenser unit.

What is an Acoustic Screen or Enclosure?
An acoustic screen is an acoustic barrier that’s designed to screen the noise right from its source and keep it away from external receivers, either through absorption or reflection.

AcoustiSorb™ Acoustic Performance:
The AcoustiSorb™ panel is an all-in-one composite panel, prefinished and ready to install. With a minimum NRC rating of 0.9 and RW28, the AcoustiSorb™ Screen meets the requirements of 99% of projects.
