Abstract

Sound-permeable lining ( 1 ) for covering perforations ( 21 ) shaped in an acoustic plasterboard ( 2 ). The sound-permeable lining ( 1 ) comprises a first ply ( 12 ) of a fleece material and attached thereto a second ply ( 14 ) which is arranged in between of the first ply ( 12 ) and the acoustic plasterboard ( 2 ) to which the sound-permeable lining ( 1 ) is to be applied. The second ply ( 14 ) being of a foil material having a second opacity O 2 and a plurality of through-holes ( 141 ) formed therein. The first ply ( 12 ) has a first opacity O 1 so that the through-holes ( 141 ) formed in the second ply ( 14 ) are invisible through the first ply ( 12 ) and so that the applied sound-permeable lining ( 1 ) has an overall opacity O 12 to allow for optically covering the perforations ( 21 ) shaped in the acoustic plasterboard ( 2 ) and an overall air flow resistivity R s12 to allow for the penetration of air so that sound can propagate via the sound-permeable lining ( 1 ).
