Ewes “Sound Fastener” (SF) is a noise reduction wooden screw that is ingenious in its construction. Sound Fastener is a Swedish invention produced by Ewes. Basically, SF screws are fastened into a plasterboard against a wooden joist. SF creates a one-millimetre gap between the wooden joists and the 12.5mm plasterboard, with the help of the unique SF spring. This effectively reduces the propagation of sound waves through walls or roof constructions.

Noise reduction wooden screw
The SF screw has been tested by Research Institutes of Sweden (RISE), with a measured effect of 9dB. This is virtually half of the perceived noise level! When plasterboards are equipped with SF screws, any ambient noise, footsteps, talking and so on is very efficiently reduced.

Perfect for walls adjoining equipment rooms, conference rooms, and the like. Customers can put up tiling, shelves, pictures etc. on SF walls. This does not affect the noise reduction.

Customers can already buy the screw from Ewes (www.soundfastener.com). The launch took place in Sweden, and now talks are in progress with interested small home builders, construction chain stores, national construction companies and many more. In the meantime, at Ewes they continue to work on test documentation with RISE. Ewes want to document, among other things, the effect obtained when double plasterboard is used.

Ewes has made a major investment in their press department. In addition to expanding their raw materials storage depot, Ewes created a completely new production layout.

It was necessary, considering all of the investments in equipment:
– spring sanding machine, x 3
– tool grinding, x 1
– greater pressing capacity, x 1
– CNC spring machine, x 1
– reinforcement on the strip side, x 1
– NC machine, x 1

These investments are preparing Ewes for the future, and they also create opportunities for their customers. The investment in the super-rapid NC machine made by Bihler “GRM-NC” has resulted in a reduction in tool costs of up to 70% for instance!
