ACOUSTICS
Reinforced concrete offers a high degree of sound insulation at no extra charge.
Sound insulation is a key issue in today's noisy world. Indeed, there is now a mandatory onus on housebuilders to demonstrate that minimum sound insulation standards are met. Just as important are the demands of the homeowners, tenants, office workers, teachers and students, hotel guests, etc, for a quiet living and working environment. There is mounting concern over the poor acoustic performance of lightweight construction particularly with unwanted noise coming through walls, floors and ceilings of adjacent rooms or adjacent properties.
Concrete offers inherent acoustic insulation that that meet both the requirements of building regulations and the demands of building occupiers.
