Description
Manhattan WhisperGuard Isolation Backer (10 Pack)
Sealing the Overlooked Weak Points in Your Acoustic Installation
The Manhattan WhisperGuard Isolation Backer is a professional-grade acoustic isolation material designed to address one of the most commonly overlooked sources of sound leakage in any treated room: the gaps behind electrical outlets, switch plates, and wall penetrations. Available in a ten-pack, the WhisperGuard Isolation Backer is STC60 compliant, making it suitable for the most demanding acoustic installation standards. Mouldable and straightforward to work with, it is an essential detail product for any home theatre, listening room, or recording space where true acoustic integrity is the goal.
Addressing the Weakest Links in Wall Isolation
Even the most carefully constructed acoustic wall treatment can be compromised by the small but significant gaps that surround electrical outlets, data ports, and other wall penetrations. Sound travels readily through these openings, bypassing the mass and absorption of the surrounding wall construction entirely. The WhisperGuard Isolation Backer is specifically designed to fill and seal these penetrations from behind, restoring the acoustic integrity of the wall and ensuring that the overall isolation performance of the room is not undermined by these commonly neglected details.
STC60 Compliant and Professionally Specified
The WhisperGuard Isolation Backer carries STC60 compliance, aligning it with the sound transmission class ratings specified in professional acoustic construction standards. This makes it suitable not only for premium residential home theatre and listening room installations, but also for commercial acoustic applications where compliance with specified STC ratings is a requirement. Its inclusion in a wall construction programme demonstrates a thorough and professional approach to acoustic isolation that goes beyond surface-level treatment.
Mouldable for Versatile, Precise Installation
The WhisperGuard Isolation Backer’s mouldable material allows it to be shaped and fitted precisely around the specific geometry of any outlet box or wall penetration, ensuring a complete and consistent seal regardless of the configuration. This flexibility makes it suitable for use across a wide variety of wall construction types and outlet formats, and allows even complex or irregular penetrations to be treated effectively. Each pack contains ten backers, providing sufficient material to treat the outlets and penetrations of most standard room installations.
