Acoustic Engineering

Expert Acoustic Insulation & Soundproofing

Sound insulation between spaces is a critical requirement for many offices. This is especially vital for legal and medical professionals who handle sensitive information and require absolute confidentiality.

At Metro Partitions, we are experts at helping clients select the right level of acoustic separation within their specific budgetary constraints. We don’t just “put up walls”—we engineer acoustic environments.

Our Specialist Acoustic Solutions
Insulated Stud Walls

Standard 64mm or 92mm metal studs with internal insulation and 13mm plasterboard typically achieve a 38–40Rw rating. Upgrading to acoustic studs further reduces vibration and sound transfer.

Acoustic Plasterboard

Using denser acoustic-grade board or adding an extra layer of plasterboard is a cost-effective way to improve sound reduction by an additional 3–5Rw.

Ceiling Barriers

Standard ceiling tiles offer 40dB of proofing. Performance can be boosted to 44dB by installing insulation above the grid or upgrading to certified acoustic mineral fibre tiles.

Single Glazed Walls

Utilising 10.38mm or 12.38mm laminated glass achieves between 35–36Rw. For higher performance, specialised acoustic glass can push this rating up to 40Rw.

Double Glazed Systems

Our premium onsite-built double glazing provides the ultimate separation, achieving up to 49Rw when configured with varied glass thicknesses.

Doors & Acoustic Seals

Both semi-solid MDF and glazed doors provide approximately 30Rw of insulation. Adding perimeter and drop seals is a highly effective way to gain up to an extra 10Rw in performance.

Common Questions

Frequently Asked Questions About Office Partitions & Acoustics

Do I need a building permit for office partitions in Melbourne?

In many cases, yes. If the partitions alter the floor plan, affect fire safety (like sprinkler paths or exit signs), or change the structural nature of the space, a building permit is required. Metro Partitions manages the entire compliance process, ensuring your new layout meets all Victorian building regulations and Australian Standards.

What is the best partition for noise reduction?

For maximum sound privacy, we recommend double-glazed glass walls or staggered-stud plasterboard partitions filled with high-density acoustic insulation. To achieve a specific acoustic rating (Rw), we can also treat the “plenum” (the space above the ceiling) to ensure sound doesn’t travel over the top of the walls.

How long does a typical office partition installation take?

Every project is unique, but a standard office division using glass or solid partitions can often be completed within 5 to 10 business days. We specialise in “live office” installs, meaning we can often work around your team or after hours to minimise downtime for your business.

Can I reconfigure modular partitions if my team grows?

Absolutely. One of the biggest benefits of our demountable partition systems is their flexibility. Unlike traditional stud walls, these systems can be dismantled and reinstalled in a new configuration, making them a sustainable and cost-effective choice for growing Melbourne businesses.

What is the difference between single and double-glazed partitions?
  • Single Glazed: Offers a sleek, minimal look with a slim profile. It provides moderate sound reduction, perfect for general offices and meeting rooms.
  • Double Glazed: Features two panes of glass with an air gap in between. This provides superior acoustic insulation, making it the ideal choice for executive offices and boardrooms where total confidentiality is required.
Do you provide end-to-end office fitout services?

Yes. Beyond just partitions, Metro Partitions provides a full “turnkey” service. This includes initial concept design, furniture selection, floor coverings, electrical and data cabling, and final construction. We act as your single point of contact, taking the stress out of the entire fitout process.
