New buildings are designed to achieve the most up to date acoustic control measures. Partitions will be compromised wherever services penetrate and sealing with ad hoc products will have a detrimental effect on the overall acoustic performance.
The performance of coated batt systems for acoustic separation is poor, relative to the partition into which it is installed. We have extensive experience working with testing laboratories and manufacturers to ensure that any penetrations are reinstated to the optimum level of acoustic performance.
We can advise on the sound reduction index of a partition as surveyed on site and identify any potential issues when complying with the relevant BS standards (residential, industrial, offices), Building Regulations Approved Document E (ADE 2003 part 4 – schools) or HTM 2045 for Hospitals.
