IMPACT SOUND INSULATION

ACOUSTIC COMFORT FROM RECYCLED RUBBER

Addressing acoustic issues in floor structures of residential, office, or other types of buildings is crucial to prevent the transmission of impact noises that travel through the building’s structure.

Footfall from people, accidental falling of objects, or dragging objects on the floor generate noise in adjacent spaces, particularly in the rooms below.

It is, therefore, necessary to determine the most suitable acoustic system to achieve the insulation included in the project or meet the required standards as specified by current regulations.

APPLICATIONS

• Installation under screed or under floating flooring.
• Floors with floating screed system or Dbred Piano Zero System.

HOW IT WORKS
Dbred floating screed system:

• The floating screed system consists of a finishing screed and flooring installed on an impact sound insulation underlay, completely separated from the floor slab and vertical partitions.
  This set-up prevents impact noise produced on the floor from being transmitted to the underlying and adjacent structures.
• The effectiveness and proper functioning of a floating screed impact sound insulation system depend on two essential factors:
  the first is proper design, aimed at selecting the most suitable material, and the second is the correct installation of the system.
• For installation, it is crucial that there are no rigid connections between the perimeter of the screed and the walls or thresholds of doors and windows.
• It is important to ensure the continuity of the impact sound insulation underlay and the perimeter strips (to maintain separation from the walls) and, above all, the correct installation of the flooring and skirting boards.
