Acoustic plug designed for the total decoupling of a C-type self-supporting structure or channel from the floor slab
Model TAV-500/11 A
We are pleased to introduce the essential acoustic fixing designed to eliminate solid-borne noise pollution. This solution integrates advanced technology featuring a new polymeric component developed by the prestigious German manufacturer KRAIBURG. The material has been precision-engineered to provide greater peace of mind, comfort, and environmental quality in environments where impact noise and vibrations can cause annoyance, impair concentration, or compromise occupant well-being. We have completely redesigned the product to meet contemporary demands for acoustic performance, comfort, and construction quality, delivering an effective solution seamlessly integrated into the fixing system.
Its innovative design incorporates targeted technology to mitigate pollution generated by vibromechanical energy, preventing unnecessary transmission into walls, floor slabs, and other adjacent structural elements. By restricting these transmission paths, the fixing helps break acoustic bridges and reduce structural vibration propagation, fostering cleaner, quieter, and more pleasant spaces. In doing so, it enhances the overall acoustic quality of the environment and delivers a more comfortable experience for building occupants.
The acoustic plug SE-TAV-500/11 A features a PATENTED motion control system that isolates any type of fixing, including the screw, from the rest of the drywall/construction system materials. This controlled separation breaks acoustic bridges and helps eradicate vibromechanical transmission through connection points. As a result, airborne noise has been reduced by more than 16 dBA within a previously tested and certified drywall system—a result that demonstrates its direct contribution to enhancing acoustic comfort and minimizing noise disturbance in the built environment.
The SE-TAV-500/11 A acoustic plug is engineered for placement in horizontal floor channels and vertical studs intended for attachment to existing masonry walls. Its purpose is to enhance the acoustic performance of these junctions by promoting proper separation and suppressing vibration and noise transmission through the structure.

Date: 30 November 2021
Sample: CHOVA+SENOR SELF-SUPPORTING ACOUSTIC WALL LINING – EI120
Standardised Base Wall: 15 cm concrete block + plasterboards on both sides
Standardised Base Thickness and Weight: 17.5 cm and 300 kg/m²
Total Wall Lining Thickness: 20.2 cm
Sample Description: Self-supporting wall lining system comprising: SE-4800/TDM dampers (SENOR) + SE-TAV-500/11A and 11R acoustic plugs (SENOR) + SE-BEC-10×100 acoustic strip (SENOR) + 48 mm channels and studs (KNAUF) + SE-MONT-BICAPA-40 decoupling strip (SENOR) + 4 cm CHOVANAPA sound-absorbing material (CHOVA) + 25 mm Fireproof Plasterboard (KNAUF) + 4 mm VISCOLAM 65 acoustic membrane (CHOVA) + 25 mm Fireproof Plasterboard (KNAUF)
Note: The soundproofing results obtained in this test are also valid for the TAV/500 11 A product, as both products share the same properties
Result: An improvement of 21 dB in airborne sound compared to the base wall, which has a rating of 48 dB, resulting in a total soundproofing of 70 dB.
