Akustak® is a British-made, patented, acoustic modular wall system. Specified on numerous high-profile sound production and podcast studio builds, architectural clients include the London School of Economics and the Royal Central School of Speech & Drama.
Engineered for resource efficiency and off-site manufacturing, Akustak® minimises material waste during production and assembly, whilst its unique demountable form embodies Design for Deconstruction (DfD) principles to facilitate structural recovery and reuse.
Prefabricated and portable, the Akustak® system accelerates construction timescales, with on-site installation rates achieving up to 15 sq/m per hour, per installer. 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), the system achieves full compliance with Building Regulations Part E (Resistance to Sound) and Part B (Fire Safety), subject to site conditions and project design parameters.
Modules are manufactured to a standardised size (670 mm x 1200 mm) and formed entirely of components dimensionally coordinated with universal sheet and slab dimensions to eliminate off-cut waste. As such, Akustak® lends itself perfectly to scalable mass production, supported by two fully equipped, UK-based manufacturing hubs.
Licensing opportunities are now available for strategic partners.
What encouraged the company 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 data indicates that 13% of all materials delivered to construction sites end up in landfill without being used. It is well documented across the sector that off-site construction has the capacity to substantively mitigate this systemic resource inefficiency. Becoming a member of the ASBP provides two crucial opportunities:
1. Engaging with and learning from an internationally respected association that is driving the sustainability agenda within the built environment sector, thereby ensuring that Akustak® technology continuously evolves alongside leading circular economy principles.
2. Introducing the Akustak® system to a network of specifiers, architects, and professionals who are receptive to replacing archaic and innately wasteful construction methodologies.
