Acoustic Trough Infills
Mineral wool profiled trough infills for acoustic absorption.
PRODUCT
AIM Acoustic Trough Infills are designed to fit into the troughs of perforated metal profiles used for roof decking. They can be manufactured to suit any trapezoidal profile or perforated standing seam decking in a range of densities.
APPLICATIONS
AIM Acoustic Trough Infills are used to reduce
reverberation in buildings with a high proportion
of hard internal surfaces, especially where noise is
generated within the building, such as is the case with
sports halls.
The Infills are used within perforated metal deck
profiles and provide acoustic absorption. In this way
a large absorptive surface can be created without
the expense, aesthetic problems or inconvenience of
suspended acoustic systems.
Mylar sleeved infills are suitable for humid or moist
environments such as swimming pools.
Above the line of fire walls below the profiled sheeting,
Fire Stop Blocks should be installed to maintain the
fire compartment lines.
FEATURES
- Standard lengths of 1200mm.
- Profiles to suit all metal deck designs.
- Available in a range of finishes including plain (natural mineral wool), white or black tissue faced or Mylar sleeved.
- Available in a range of densities.
BENEFITS
- Contributes to the reduction of sound absorption within buildings where the roof is constructed from a profiled metal deck.
- Simple to install.
- • Fit and forget – maintenance free
- Excellent fit as the profiles are made to exacting customer requirements.
- A choice of finishes to suit project and / or client.
- Mylar sleeved infills are suitable for humid or moist environments such as swimming pools

LARGE AND SMALL FLUTE
Viewing the profiled decking from the panels end; the larger of the trapezoids is the large flute, the smaller being the small flute. Either large or small flute may be required depending upon which way up the decking is laid
TECHNICAL INFORMATION
The stone wool material used to manufacture the Acoustic Trough Infill is recognised as a good sound absorbing material. However, the acoustic performance of the trough infill is wholly dependent on the structure of the deck used and the open area within it (size, type and number of perforations in particular).
A COMBINED SOLUTION FOR FLAT ROOFING
Where a fire wall is built to the underside of a
perforated metal deck, AIM Fire Stop Blocks should
be installed above and below deck at the line of the
wall to ensure that smoke or fire is prevented from
passing through the perforations in the metal work.
AIM Fire Stop Strip can also be used to remove any
imperfections in the head of the wall to the underside
of the metal deck.
AIM Acoustic Trough Infills are then used across
the metal deck, to assist with the reduction of noise
reverberation from within the building.
The performance of the AIM Fire Stop Block is dependent
on the metal deck remaining stable in a fire situation and
should be assessed by a competent person.

- RPE dust mask
STORAGE
Products are supplied in cartons and on wooden pallets with edge protection and a shower proof hood. Products should be stored away from the elements until ready for installation.
MAINTENANCE
This product does not contain moving parts and, if undisturbed in the profiled sheeting, requires no routine inspections or maintenance.
DURABILITY
AIM fire barriers are chemically inert, will not sustain vermin and do not encourage the growth of rot, fungi, moulds or bacteria. They are compatible with all normal building materials. They do not degrade under the usual conditions found in buildings and will perform effectively for the life of the building.
