Acoustic properties of NAV LiteBoard


Acoustic properties:
NAV LiteBoard acoustic properties have been determined during testing to judge the suitability of NAV LiteBoard in door use. Tests were conducted in comparison with standard particle board and produced the following results:

Density
dB-Value



Board type
[kg/m³]
[dB]
NAV LiteBoard 38mm 462 30.3
Particle board 32mm
682
31.9
Particle board 38mm
513
31.3
Extruded particle board 33mm
490
32-33

The decibel value depends mainly from the density and the direction of the wood particles in the board (longitudinal or transversal to the surface). Extruded particle board are the only boards to have transversal direction, hence the slightly higher dB value.

Thanks for reading,
