The five principles above were instrumental in the development of Akustak庐, a 鈥榸ero avoidable waste鈥�, Building Regulations 鈥� Part B and E compliant, acoustic modular wall system.

1. Design for Reuse and Recovery: Akustak庐, through its demountable form, enables reuse and recovery more readily than traditional interior wall building methodologies.
2. Design for Off-Site Construction: Akustak庐 modules are fully manufactured off site, therefore, off-cuts, that would otherwise go to waste, are stored for future fabrications. Off-site manufacturing also enables:
   • Quick & Easy On-Site Access: Due to its size and weight, Akustak庐 can be easily handled by one man (as per HSE guidelines) and its stackable design minimises transport and storage requirements.
   • Rapid Installation: Prefabricated and portable, Akustak庐 transforms interior wall construction into a rapid process of assembly, from 15 m²/ per hour.
   • Meticulous Workmanship: precision engineered in a factory environment, Akustak庐 accurately interconnects to form pre-specified wall sizes, minimising on-site errors and re-work.
   • Minimised Noise, Dust & Disruption On-site: Akustak庐 minimises trades and site activities; requiring just 1 to 2 fitters, a cordless drill and basic hand tools. This too enhances health and safety standards on-site, including Covid-19 infection prevention and control.
3. Design for Material Optimisation: Akustak庐听modules come in standard dimensions and are formed entirely of parts 鈥榙imensionally coordinated鈥� with universal sheet/slab sizes, thereby avoiding/minimising excess cutting and off-cuts. Generally, where off-cuts do arise, they are reusable.
4. Design for Waste Efficient Procurement: Akustak庐听is a product developed by Mute Group, which designs and builds solutions in noise control, vibration control and acoustics, across all sectors, with a client base including Alexander McQueen, Disney, HS2, Oxford University and Westminster Cathedral. As such, there is ample opportunity to specify Akustak庐, where less resource efficient systems would otherwise be employed.
5. Design for Deconstruction and Flexibility: Akustak庐, through its demountable form, facilitates recovery and reuse, at the point of deconstruction.

Laboratory tested for fire safety (BS EN ISO 1364-1) and resistance to sound (BS EN ISO 10140-2 & 717-1), Akustak庐听guarantees Building Regulations 鈥� Part B and E compliance. Aku125, for example, provides 79 minutes fire resistance and Rw 49 dB airborne sound insulation.

A real-life, single-space case study is used to exemplify 鈥榝inancial鈥� costs/benefits (to the client, only):

A physiotherapist rents a therapy room inside an office complex. The room, across one wall (of 12.5 m2), directly adjoins another company鈥檚 office and, as such, lacks the requisite levels for confidentiality. The separating wall needs to be acoustically upgraded, by installing an acoustic independent wall system. The options are:

OPTION 1: Traditional stud-wall construction, suitably acoustically insulated.
OPTION 2: Akustak庐 acoustic modular wall system.

Note: when the occupant鈥檚 tenancy ends, the room must be restored to its鈥� original state.
