Products

Acara Concepts specialise in distributing natural and sustainable acoustic insulation and thermal insulation products throughout the UK and Ireland. PhoneStar is a CE marked sound insulation board made from totally natural materials and at only 15mm thick, it offers outstanding soundproofing results - significantly reducing both airborne and impact sound through floors, walls and ceilings.  We also distribute Pavatex wood fibre thermal insulation softboards which are 100% natural and can be used on roofs, walls (both internally and externally) and floors.  These breathable boards can be plastered or rendered to directly or used with cladding on external walls. The high density wood fibre insulation boards also have excellent thermal mass properties so they store heat during the day and release it gradually at night-time as it cools in order to stabilise interior temperatures. This is particularly critical on roofs and on timber frame walls.

We recently formed a new partnership with a leading lime render company. Working alongside them we have created a breathable External Wall Insulation  (EWI) system that incorporates our high quality natural Pavatex Diffutherm wood fibre board being directly coated with their highly breathable and mould resistant lime render and lime plaster.  This concept is entirely environmentally friendly and an excellent ’green’ option and is particularly effective on historic buildings which must be able to breathe throughout their structure.

Sound Proofing Walls

Acara Concepts uses Phonewell Sound Insulation for walls as it is the best way to ensure minimal loss of living space whilst still providing the finest soundproofing solution. Phonewell is extremely thin and easy to install and successfully reduces both impact and airborne noise. It is also completely natural and sustainable.
 
Phonewell offers three types of soundproofing solution, all of which are durable, independently certified and in line with building regulations. The thicker the acoustic wall insulation, the more effective it is at reducing noise. Our sound insulation can be used on masonry walls as well as timber stud walls.

Sound Proofing Floors

Phonewell Flooring Sound Insulation offers various options which can be used on both timber and concrete floors and is also compatible with under floor heating. Acara Concepts can advise on the most appropriate system for your floor, based on the ease of access and how much work is needed. We can also recommend whether any additional soundproofing, such as flanking will be needed.


One of the many benefits of using Phonewell is that as well as being thin and easy to install, all known types of flooring can be laid over it so it won’t compromise on the overall aesthetic of your room. The finished floor is solid, hard wearing and capable of withstanding heavy loads.


Sound Proofing Ceilings

For a complete room soundproofing solution, Acara Concepts also use Phonewell Ceiling Sound Insulation. We will advise on the best type of ceiling soundproofing for your room, depending on whether you have a contrete or timber joist ceiling and if there will need to be any additional walls insulated to prevent flanking noise. 


Both timber and concrete ceilings can be soundproofed either by leaving the ceiling plasterboard or lining undisturbed and fixing optional battens or by having it completely removed. As with all our soundproofing systems, ceiling insulation will reduce both impact and airborne noise and is long lasting.


Insulating Walls and Roofs

Hofatex Kombi is a sarking or sheathing wood fibre rigid board that can be used to externally insulate walls and roofs so that thermal bridging is eliminated.  This is covered with roof tiles or wall cladding with a ventilated cavity. It is particularly effective on timber frame walls and roofs because as well as thermally insulating the building, it provides considerable thermal mass to the structure.  This means that heat is stored in the insulation during the daytime and released at night-time as it cools down. Because the insulation is totally natural and breathable humidity and interstitial condensation won’t be an issue.

Additional Information

Brand & Trade Names

  • Lignotrend Timber Acoustic Absorption Boards The Lignotrend range of sound absorption and reverberation panels are very high quality, sustainable, NaturePlus approved products made from silver fir or spruce timber slats with a wood fibre backing as the absorption layer. The specially engineered structure is excellent at absorbing background noise and reducing echo and reverberation within a room. This means that speech clarity is significantly improved and noise levels are reduced inside a room (co-efficient of absorption aw up to 0.75). These finished boards are aesthetically pleasing and offer a very contemporary look, and are very popular in theatres, sports halls, conference rooms and schools.
  • Pavatex Breathable Wood Fibre Thermal Insulation Pavatex Wood Fibre thermal insulation softboards provide high thermal resistance in roofs, walls, floors and lofts in both masonry and timber frame constructions. These breathable, 100% natural insulation products allow water vapour to transfer through them rather than get trapped between the insulation and the structure as often happens with waterproof insulation. This reduces condensation, mould growth and humidity in buildings, and so reduces the risk of allergies and asthma. Pavatex Wood Fibre thermal insulation products have a higher density than conventional insulation, and this coupled with their high Specific Heat Capacity, means that they add thermal mass to the building. This leads to heat being stored in the roof and walls during the day and being gradually released into the building during the night as it cools. This is particularly important in lightweight structures e.g. timber frame buildings. In addition, airborne and impact sound insulation is enhanced in the building.
  • PhoneStar Sound Proofing Boards PhoneStar Sound Insulation is a 15mm thick board which significantly reduces both airborne sound (e.g. talking, music noise) and impact sound (e.g. footstep noise) through floors, walls and ceilings. This totally natural board makes sound proofing very easy to achieve due to its slim thickness and ease of installation. PhoneStar is a natural, sustainable and breathable acoustic insulation board. PhoneStar is CE marked (13/0411) and it has been tested by Sound Research Laboratory (SRL) on various structures to show that it meets and exceeds Building Regulations for Sound, Document E. The structure can be made of timber, steel or masonry substrates and it is ideal to use on new build, renovation and remedial soundproofing projects. It is an ideal sound insulation product for both domestic and commercial soundproofing projects. It is suitable for reducing noise from noisy neighbours, home entertainment systems, music rooms and traffic noise. In the commercial sector, PhoneStar is excellent for sound reduction in hotels, recording studios, schools, gyms, consulting rooms, offices, factories and apartment blocks.
