SonoSlim Advanced u2014 High-Performance Wall Panel for Demanding Acoustic Applications
SonoSlim Advanced is the mid-range panel in the SonoSlim wall system family u2014 engineered for applications that demand greater acoustic isolation performance than an entry-level system can provide. Built around a higher-density core and incorporating an integrated decoupling layer, SonoSlim Advanced delivers measurably better airborne sound reduction compared to SonoSlim Essential, while still maintaining a compact installed depth of 37 mm u2014 well within the 40–60 mm depth envelope typical of office fit-outs, inter-apartment demising walls, and commercial refurbishments.
The greater panel density and mass u2014 achieved through a denser SONOCOMPACT composite core combining a rigid gypsum board face with a mass loaded membrane backing u2014 directly translates into higher Rw contribution per millimetre of depth. The integrated decoupling layer within the panel construction breaks the rigid connection between the panel face and the substrate, reducing structure-borne flanking paths that would otherwise limit the acoustic performance of a direct-bonded system.

Target Applications for SonoSlim Advanced
SonoSlim Advanced is the correct system choice for the following environments:
- Concrete and masonry demising walls between apartments u2014 where national building codes or tenancy agreements require acoustic separation to exceed standard construction performance, and a direct overlay system is preferred to full wall replacement.
- Office partitions and meeting room walls u2014 open-plan commercial spaces subdivided into enclosed offices or conference rooms require speech privacy; SonoSlim Advanced achieves the performance level needed for confidential conversation environments.
- Between-apartment party walls in residential developments u2014 new build or renovation projects where the base wall construction already meets minimum code but a higher level of acoustic comfort is specified by the developer or building acoustics consultant.
- Hotel room dividing walls u2014 guest satisfaction in hospitality is directly linked to acoustic separation; SonoSlim Advanced provides the isolation margin needed for a quiet room experience without full structural intervention.
- Mixed-use buildings u2014 commercial ground-floor units beneath residential floors often transmit low-frequency noise; SonoSlim Advanced’s mass loaded membrane component provides additional low-frequency attenuation compared to entry-level systems.
Acoustic Performance and Decoupling Technology
SonoSlim Advanced achieves an Rw improvement of approximately 12–18 dB when applied to a standard concrete base wall u2014 a significant step up from the Essential variant’s 8–12 dB range. This performance advantage comes from two key design features working in combination:
- Higher mass core: The SONOCOMPACT panel combines a Rigips-specification gypsum board layer with a mass loaded membrane backing. The mass loaded membrane adds surface density without significant thickness, improving low-to-mid frequency attenuation where entry-level systems typically fall short.
- Integrated decoupling layer: A resilient interlayer between the panel and the substrate interrupts the direct rigid connection. This significantly reduces structure-borne flanking u2014 the transmission of vibration energy through the building structure that bypasses the air gap and undermines the measured Rw of direct-bonded systems.
SonoSlim Advanced is fully compatible with the SONOTIZ frame system, allowing it to be combined with acoustic steel framing, additional mineral wool infill, and multiple gypsum board layers for projects that require even higher performance while accepting a greater system depth.
When to Choose SonoSlim Advanced
Choose SonoSlim Advanced when: higher acoustic isolation is the priority and a total system depth of 37–60 mm is acceptable, the wall will face significant noise loads (speech, music, low-frequency noise from equipment), the application involves demising walls between separately tenanted or occupied spaces, or when acoustic consultant specification requires Rw improvement above 12 dB. For projects where the wall depth is critically constrained to under 40 mm and good (rather than high) acoustic performance is sufficient, consider SonoSlim Essential as the more depth-efficient option.
