Acoustic Design Advice

In order to achieve the current sound insulation performance requirements of Approved Document E of the current Building Regulations, we strongly recommend you to show us your construction proposals. We will provide you with a clear review of the expected performance of your proposed design and will advise on any additional treatment to be applied as necessary.

We also offer the possibility of site visits which allow you and your contractor to feel confident about the outcome of testing at the end of the build. These sessions allow you to raise any concerns you may have with regards to acoustic detailing and also give us an oportunity to guide you through the process, avoiding crucial mistakes.

Points to keep in mind

• The use of suspended ceilings will help improve the performance of floors.

• Including a resilient layer or adopting an "acoustic" flooring system will improve the impact performance of a floor.

• The best floor or wall construction can be seriously.compromised by poor acoustic detailing.
