Acoustic plasterboard is typically manufactured with a higher density core than other types of plasterboard so it makes it more resistant to the transfer of sound. The sound has a denser material to travel through which dissipates the sound as it passes through. This allows acoustic plasterboard to boast the same thickness as non-acoustic plasterboard because it isn’t manufactured to be thicker, just denser.

Acoustic plasterboard is used in many applications. The most common is for use as a material to create a partition wall which will minimise sound transfer between rooms. Acoustic plasterboard can be found as thin as 12.5mm here at Insulation Superstore.
