Acoustical Insulation
Where a specification calls for acoustic performance, R&L Ohana installs the assemblies that deliver it. We self-perform section 09 81 00 on commercial construction across the Hawaiian Islands.
What the Scope Covers
Sound attenuation batts in walls, ceilings and plenum conditions. Duct liner for in-system attenuation. Acoustical treatment at mechanical rooms and equipment enclosures where STC performance is specified.
Where It Matters
Acoustic scope tends to concentrate in the buildings where sound carries consequences — patient rooms and exam suites, classrooms and lecture halls, conference rooms, and anywhere a mechanical room shares a wall with a space people are expected to concentrate in.
It is also a scope that fails quietly. Batts stuffed rather than fitted, liner interrupted at a transition, a plenum gap left above a partition — the wall gets built, the ceiling goes in, and nobody finds out until the building is occupied and somebody can hear the neighboring room. We install to the detail and we fit the material rather than packing it.
Coordination
We prepare submittals to the specified manufacturer and turn them around early. Insulation submittal approval is one of the quieter items that holds up a mechanical schedule, and it does not need to.
