FIP Façade Interface Panel for end of partitions
Acoustic board limiting sound transmission where curtain walls and internal partitions abut
Delivering room-to-room noise separation between partitions and facades
FIPFaçade Interface Panel for end of partitions has been specially developed to prevent noise transmission at the junction between internal partitions and curtain walls or window mullions. Its elastomeric core is bonded between two high mas cementitious boards, ensuring good performance at lower frequencies (stiffness and dampening controlled regions) and no ‘drop-off’ due to coincidence dip.
FIP Façade Interface Panel has been tested to EN 1366-4:2021 for up to 30 minutes fire resistance (integrity and insulation).
FIP Façade Interface Panel can reduce room-to-room sound transmission, improving privacy and preventing disturbance from neighbouring rooms. Tested in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-2:2021.
FIP Façade Interface Panel is available in widths of 100-300mm with a 30minute EI performance for use as a fire barrier and 100-600mm when used as an acoustic barrier only.
Siderise FIP façade interface panel is a thin multi-layered board offering tested sound reduction performance and has been specifically developed to provide a solution where an internal partition abuts a curtain wall or window mullion. Siderise FIP façade interface panel achieves 42dB Rw performance at 31mm thickness. This compact solution tested for acoustic and fire performance has been used in hotels, residential, government and commercial projects in the UK and internationally.
Siderise FIP façade interface panel is a bonded composite material comprising four primary layers which are bonded together to offer a combination of stiffness and damping within a high mass panel, with a nominal thickness of only 31mm. The layers include a high mass cementitious board either side of a central heavy elastomeric core. The bonding technique means that the elastomeric core effectively dampens the stiff cementitious board, improving the performance in stiffness and dampening controlled regions.
Finish
Siderise FIP is typically supplied unfinished for project specific decorative coverings to be applied.
Siderise FIP has been tested to the temperature and pressure conditions of BS EN 1363 Part 1: 2012, and the test principles of BS EN 1366 Part4:2021. See table 1 below.

We supply cut to the correct width in standard lengths of 2.4m. Site cutting may be necessary for small, localised areas, such as around skirting boards or cutting to length. Please view the additional cutting information on the installation guidance.
This is possible by using two panels, butt-jointed, with the smaller length panel placed above the full length piece.
The outer finish of the panels is not decorative and intended to be decorated after installation.
