KNAUF APERTURA MAKES NEW SCHOOL SOUND EVEN NICER
 More
than 2,500m2 of Cleaneo Apertura perforated plasterboard from Knauf
Drywall makes school sound even nicer in the redeveloped Buttershaw
Business and Enterprise College, Bradford. The high performance
ceiling board helps to control reverberation in the largest spaces
of the college and with its unique seamless and borderless finish,
it looks good too. The Cleaneo Apertura has top billing in a
specification that also sees extensive use of Knauf Soundshield in
metal stud partitions designed to minimise sound transmission
between learning spaces.
Drywall subcontractors CLM Drylining of Halifax installed the
Cleaneo Apertura in the college’s new assembly hall, main dining
room, gymnasium, music rooms and dance/fitness studios. CLM Managing
Director John Houston says as many of these areas had ceilings at
least six metres high, installers used scissor lifts to raise the
Apertura panels to working height and provide a safe platform for
installation. They used Apertura Circular 12/25 (12mm perforations
at 25mm centres) jointed with Knauf Uniflott for the tapeless and
seamless finish that makes Cleaneo Apertura an attractive choice,
especially for large or unusually shaped rooms.
Cleaneo Apertura is a 12.5mm plasterboard, pre-laminated with a
45g/m2 black or white acoustic fleece. It is available with circular
or square perforations in various all-over configurations, and in
square or slotted patterns. All boards in the Cleaneo Apertura range
give a Part E Class D sound absorption performance with a 60mm void
depth; many achieve Class C with an additional insulating quilt.
In another part of its 52 week contract at Buttershaw, CLM also
installed Knauf metal stud partitions designed for excellent
learning and teaching conditions by minimising sound transmission
between rooms, in line with the requirements of Building Bulletin
93.
There are five main types of partition, from 120 to 320mm wide,
giving a range of airborne sound reduction capabilities from 45dB to
61dB. All are based on two layers of 12.5mm Knauf Soundshield on
either side of Knauf ‘C’ or ‘I’ studs, some with Knauf Resilient Bar
on each side for added acoustic performance. Knauf Soundshield was
also used for lining external walls and internal blockwork walls.
Buttershaw BEC is being redeveloped as part of Bradford’s £400
million slice of the Building Schools for the Future initiative. The
main contractor is a consortium of Costain and Ferrovial Agroman.
Bradford is among four pathfinder local authorities pioneering the
BSF programme, and over a 10-year period, it plans to refurbish or
rebuild all its secondary schools. Buttershaw is one of three
schools in the first phase, completed in 2008. Founded as a
comprehensive school for 11 to 18 year-olds in 1956, it became
Buttershaw Upper School (13-18) in 1974. In 2000 it reverted to high
school status (11-18), becoming a specialist Business and Enterprise
College in 2006.
With BB93’s focus on the importance of acoustic excellence to
enhance the learning and teaching experience in schools, Knauf
Drywall has developed a range of simplified drywall constructions to
meet acoustic requirements, as well as providing adequate fire and
impact resistance, for all the most common wall types in modern
schools. Further details can be found in the free Schools brochure,
part of Knauf Drywall’s Design Partner Series. Full details on
Cleaneo Apertura are available in the Apertura brochure, in the same
series.
Knauf Drywall manufactures a full range of plasters, plasterboards,
insulating laminates, dry flooring, drywall accessories, and metal
sections for domestic, commercial and public sector applications.
Knauf Drywall pioneered carbon neutral plasterboard in the UK with
Knauf Futurepanel. Knauf Drywall also actively promotes recycling
from building sites and has a zero waste policy in its energy
efficient factories at Sittingbourne in Kent and Immingham on
Humberside.
