CORE PANELS

ENHANCED SOUND ATTENUATION AND THERMAL INSULATION

Shield Wall Systems team member carrying and assembling tool-free modular containment panels, providing fast, durable dust and infection control barriers for a containment construction project.

A smart option for projects that require reusable modular walls that look and feel more like a traditional wall, our SHIELD WALL™ CORE Panels are constructed with an attractive white aluminum exterior, durable galvanized steel interior, and a closed-cell foam core. Our CORE panels blend seamlessly into any setting and provide enhanced sound attenuation and thermal properties over other containment solutions. Tool free panel height adjustment is possible from 7’ - 10’ 3”.

SOUND ATTENUATION

Sound travels through both air and structures, and real-world conditions can significantly affect transmission—factors that lab tests can’t always predict. While reducing noise is especially important in occupied areas like hospitals, no temporary wall system, including SHIELD WALL™, can achieve full soundproofing (STC 60).

STC (Sound Transmission Class) measures how well a wall reduces airborne sound. An STC rating of 50 (per ASTM E90) is the code minimum for new multi-family construction and reflects the performance of a 9" brick wall—only very loud sounds are faintly heard through it.

SHIELD WALL™ CORE is engineered to reduce construction noise, featuring a layered design of aluminum, closed-cell foam, and steel with an STC rating of 23. Foam gaskets, tight panel seams, and proper installation can reduce construction noise by up to 50%, depending on the setup.

SHIELD WALL™ CLASSIC panels are fabricated from polycarbonate and do have some sound-attenuating properties. In third party test results, CLASSIC panels reduced the noise level of an air compressor operating at 90dB at a distance of 8’ from the wall by 17dB.

Poly sheeting around a construction zone does not offer any level of sound reduction.
