How to cut AcoustiTECH membranes?

Monday, 21 August 2023

Our membranes have been recognized for their incredible acoustic performance and numerous benefits for several years. They are composed of nonwoven needle-punched synthetic fibers, making them much lighter compared to other popular membranes on the market. The lightweight nature of our membranes makes them a favorite among installers, as they are easy to transport to construction sites. The needle-punched nonwoven synthetic fiber ensures that our membranes are highly durable and will not degrade over time, in addition to providing excellent thermal comfort.

Despite all these benefits, there is a slight drawback during the installation process, particularly when it comes to cutting. The durability sometimes makes them a bit more challenging to cut using scissors or a retractable knife.

Therefore, we have conducted extensive research to find the best cutting solution for our membranes, and we are proud to introduce a solution that will greatly simplify your work when installing our membranes. 

This involves using an electric rotary knife. This tool is available in various price ranges and brands. You can easily acquire this tool online or in-store. Here is a list of options available to you, along with our top recommendations:
