Above-Tile Insulation

ProductUseInstallation
Rockwool ProRox SL 930 (100mm)Laid on top of all ceiling tiles — prevents flanking through plenumCut batts to 610x610mm, lay directly on tiles, butt joints, no gaps
Rockwool RW3 (100mm)Alternative — higher density for better low-frequency absorption in plenumSame as above; heavier so verify grid can support combined weight

Plenum Barriers

ProductPurposeInstallation
15mm Knauf Soundshield Plus + acoustic sealantPrevents sound flanking over partition walls through shared plenumGypsum fixed to partition head, sealed to slab above with Tremco sealant
