Acoustic Partitions

In the dynamic and growing landscape of Oman, from the bustling commercial hubs of Muscat to the serene residential communities in Salalah, the need for controlled, private, and quiet spaces has never been more critical. Unwanted noise is more than a mere annoyance; it’s a barrier to productivity, a compromise on privacy, and a disruption to comfort. AKINCO is Oman’s leading Supplier of advanced Acoustic Partitions, delivering state-of-the-art solutions engineered to create acoustically isolated environments for commercial, residential, and specialized applications.

Our Acoustic Partition walls systems are the culmination of decades of research and development, offering a powerful combination of performance, versatility, and economic value. When you choose AKINCO, you are not just building a wall; you are investing in tranquility, confidentiality, and quality of life.

What Are Acoustic Partitions? 

Sound travels in waves, passing through conventional walls and structures with surprising ease. A standard drywall partition may offer a visual divide, but it does little to stop the transmission of sound, leading to overheard conversations, distracting noise from adjacent rooms, and a general lack of privacy.

Acoustic Partitions are specialized internal wall systems meticulously designed to solve this problem. They function by creating a barrier that significantly reduces the amount of sound energy that can pass from one space to another. This is achieved through a scientifically proven system combining mass, separation, and damping. The AKINCO Partition Wall System utilizes a lightweight steel stud frame with single or multiple layers of high-density gypsum board. This construction effectively blocks airborne sound, creating peaceful and productive spaces.

The effectiveness of these partitions is measured by a rating called the Sound Transmission Class (). A higher  rating indicates better sound insulation. For instance, while normal speech can be audible through a wall with an  of 35, it becomes virtually inaudible through an AKINCO partition designed to achieve an  rating of 55 or higher.

The AKINCO Partition Wall System: Engineered for Excellence

Our trusted system is brilliantly simple and effective. It is formed by fixing single or multiple layers of high-performance gypsum board onto a single-layer galvanized steel stud frame. This creates a robust, lightweight, and high-performance wall.

  • The Frame: A strong yet lightweight steel stud frame provides the structural integrity.

  • The Board: We offer a variety of gypsum boards, including options with enhanced fire resistance and moisture resistance, to meet all performance requirements. The mass of these boards is the first line of defense against sound.

  • The Layers: For higher acoustic performance, multi-layer configurations are used. The air gap within the stud cavity and the separation between board layers work together to damp sound vibrations effectively.

This proven system has been tested and supported for decades, meeting the rigorous demands of modern Omani architecture and construction standards.

Insulation for good building performances

Typically, drywall system comprises of galvanized steel stud frames lined with gypsum, cement or calcium silicate boards on each sides of the frames. However, to provide good performances to the drywall partition such as acoustic, thermal and fire properties, non-combustible stone wool insulation is employed inside the cavity of the wall system. Our range of wool insulation provides the ideal solution as it is designed to give a perfect fit within the wall frames. Drywall partition with AKINCO  is fast and easy to install, helping to reduce the time taken and labor needed for installation work, hence increasing overall speed of construction.

Safe & durable

AKINCO partition is fire rated and achieves the highest European fire classification, A1, according to EN13501-1. Therefore it is able to meet building code requiring drywall insulation to be non-combustible; providing a fire safe environment for buildings and its occupants.

This higher density material provides superior sag resistance and fit. It can be easily cut and trimmed for the best possible fit into the partition wall cavity, assuring there will be no gaps that may compromise the performance of the system.
