Control Noise and Enhance Productivity with PortaFab Sound Enclosures
Excessive noise in industrial and manufacturing environments can create distractions, reduce focus, and even pose safety risks. With PortaFab's modular wall systems, you can quickly and cleanly create soundproof offices and enclosures that effectively control noise levels—offering a cost-effective and efficient alternative to traditional construction.
How PortaFab Sound Enclosures Help
- Create Sound Barriers: Reduce noise across workspaces, enhancing focus and productivity.
- Isolate High-Noise Equipment: Enclose machinery to protect employees and improve workplace safety.
- Minimize Distractions: Maintain a quiet environment for improved efficiency.
Sound Enclosures for Multiple Applications
Soundproof Offices for Quiet, Productive Workspaces
PortaFab systems are ideal for creating soundproof offices within noisy environments. These offices provide employees with a quiet space to focus, conduct meetings, and complete tasks without distractions.
Expand Upwards with Load-Bearing, Two-Story Offices
PortaFab’s load-bearing wall systems enable the creation of two-story offices or storage spaces. Maximize vertical space in your facility while providing soundproof office solutions below and additional storage or work areas above.
Reach New Heights with Extra-Tall Wall Systems
PortaFab’s XTRA-TALL industrial wall partitions can reach heights of 20+ feet, making them ideal for enclosing large machinery or creating sound deadening partitions.
Industrial Acoustical Panel Options
PortaFab offers standard and custom sound deadening wall panels. Standard sound panels include:
Fire & Sound Wall Panels
- Core Material: Polystyrene for excellent thermal insulation and sound deadening.
- Surface Options: Vinyl-faced gypsum or optional steel/FRP surfaces.
| Panel Thickness | STC | R-Value |
|---|---|---|
| 3” | 31 | 11 |
| 4 5/8” | 31 | 16 |
Steel Sound Wall Panels
- Core Material: Mineral wool for sound absorption and thermal insulation.
- Key Benefits: Fire and moisture resistance for durability.
| Panel Thickness | STC | R-Value |
|---|---|---|
| 3” | 42 | 12 |
| 4 5/8” | 42 | 19 |
Why Modular Soundproofing?
Benefits:
- Speed of Installation: Modular soundproofing systems are pre-engineered and pre-fabricated, allowing for faster installation compared to traditional construction.
- Cost-Effectiveness: Modular systems often cost less than traditional soundproofing methods due to reduced labor requirements, quicker installation times, and minimal material waste.
- Flexibility: PortaFab's systems can be reconfigured, expanded, or relocated as needs change, unlike traditional soundproofing which is permanent and harder to modify.
- High-Performance Acoustic Solutions: Modular panels are engineered for optimal soundproofing performance, with options for various Noise Reduction Coefficient (NRC) ratings and Sound Transmission Class (STC) ratings. This ensures precise control over noise levels.
- Clean Installation: Installing a PortaFab system involves minimal on-site construction, resulting in less dust, debris, and disruption.
