Akustak®, by Mute Group®, is a British made, acoustic modular wall system; granted a UK patent in 2020. Specified on numerous high-profile sound production and podcast studio builds; clients include the London School of Economics and the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama.
Designed for materials optimisation and off-site construction, Akustak® minimises waste, during manufacture and installation, whilst its unique demountable form, facilitates recovery and reuse.
Prefabricated and portable, Akustak® accelerates construction timescales, with configurations installed from 15 sq/m, per hour, per fitter.
UKAS-accredited laboratory tested for resistance to sound (in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-2: 2010 & 717-1: 2013) and resistance to fire (in accordance with BS EN 1364-1: 2015), Akustak® can achieve Building Regulations – Part B and E compliance.
Modules are manufactured to a standardised size (670 mm x 1200mm); formed, entirely, of parts dimensionally coordinated with universal sheet/slab sizes. As such, Akustak® lends itself perfectly to mass production; supported by two fully equipped, UK-based, production hubs.
Licensing opportunities are now available.
What encouraged you to become a member of ASBP?
Akustak® was designed and developed in direct response to the burgeoning levels of waste within the construction industry. Innovate UK published a statistic, claiming that 13% of all materials delivered to construction sites, end up in landfill, without being used. It is well documented, across the construction industry, that off-site construction has the capacity to substantively address this problem.
Becoming a member of the ASBP provides two crucial opportunities:
1. Engaging with and learning from an internationally respected association, that’s driving the sustainability agenda within our sector, and, in so doing, ensuring that Akustak® adapts and develops accordingly.
2. Introducing Akustak® to a potential client base, that’s receptive to updating archaic and innately wasteful construction methodologies.
