Sound Planning’s acoustic floors have been developed and fully tested to maximise their noise reduction performance; they have been stringently assessed by the United Kingdom Accreditation Service (UKAS).
Showcasing a new and simple method of achieving up to 90 minutes integrity and sound insulation, they also meet the correct airborne and impact requirements of the new Approved Document Part E of the Building Regulations Act.
Our acoustic floors are suitable for new builds or the refurbishment/ conversion of different buildings such as:
- Houses
- Flats
- Offices
- Shops
- Hotels
- Nursing homes
- Museums and libraries
- Schools
- Churches
- Theatres
- Shopping centres
- Oil refineries
Advantages
- Durable construction
- Excellent acoustic performance
- Aesthetic value
- Tarnish proof
- Stress-free maintenance
Components
BRC Acoustic Rubber Mat 6mm System for Timber Floors using Resilient Bars
|
| A = BRC Acoustic Rubber Mat 1.25m x 10m x 6mm B = Typical T&G Chipboard or Plywood Deck or Floorboards. C = 10kg/m³ 100mm Acoustic Insulation. D = Resilient Bar Fixed @ 400mm Centres. E = Two Layers of 15mm Thick Acoustic Plasterboard F = Timber Joists 50mm x 235mm @ 450mm Centres. |
Test Results
| AIRBORNE | AVERAGE SITE | IMPACT |
| Rw(+Ctr) (dB) = 52 | TEST RESULTS | Lntw (dB) = 54 |
| DOC E REQUIREMENTS | DOC E REQUIREMENTS | DOC E REQUIREMENTS |
| Dntw + Ctr (dB) = 45 (min) | PURPOSE BUILT | Lntw (dB) = 62 (max) |
| Dntw + Ctr (dB) = 43 (min) | CHANGE OF USE | Lntw (dB) = 64 (max) |
