June 2017: High Rise Construction \u2013 Acoustic Insulation Solutions<\/h2>\n

London\u2019s skyline continues its transformational phase with planning permission being granted for skyscrapers and high-rises cropping up all over the capital. As with many city locations, this is a great option when there is limited space available for development yet high demand for both business and residential property.<\/p>\n

Last year alone,\u00a0construction began on an additional 455 skyscrapers<\/a>\u00a0in London with Canary Wharf and Docklands as a particular focus. 420 of these will be for residential use and 7 for student accommodation. The 2017 London Tall Buildings Survey has also see a steady increase in more tall buildings in outer London, up 5% from 2015.<\/p>\n

Noise Control in Tall Buildings<\/h2>\n

Whilst all this news is positive for the UK Construction market, we all have to ensure quality standards are met for this type of build. Noise control is a big issue for high rise builds and there are regulations in place to ensure the right levels of noise control are achieved through\u00a0Approved Document E<\/a>\u00a0of Building Regulations. These regulations protect residents from the noise levels of activities in other rooms \u2013 above, below or adjoining. Sound transfer from noises such as TV, music, footfall and plant is not an option for residents and would be an aggravating problem that is detrimental to the quality of life of the people in that building \u2013 whether for residential or business use.<\/p>\n

As well as meeting the needs of these building regulations, we recognise that the construction market needs solutions which provide assurance that the full initial acoustic performance is maintained throughout the life of the building. These long-term solutions need to be dense and tough, suffer virtually no short or long term compression under load, be resistant to damage and displacement during screeding and be robust for more difficult fittings such as around corners and services.<\/p>\n

Rubber-based acoustic materials provide a cost-effective way of meeting these long term requirements that foam-based materials cannot match. We use various forms of rubber in the production of our acoustic products to ensure quality whilst maintaining competitive pricing. The products listed below can be used to achieve regulatory requirements, none of which suffer long-term compression under load and are strong resistance to damage making them a great material for high-rise builds and longevity.[\/vc_column_text][vc_single_image image=”926″ img_size=”full”][vc_column_text]\n

Acoustic Installation Problems<\/h2>\n

Many acoustic problems can be prevented if greater attention is spent during the design and construction process. It is a difficult and expensive process to rectify once noise problems are identified by the residents! \u00a0Errors such as faulty installation of the floor perimeter is the single biggest cause of sound test failures in screeded floors. \u00a0Installation also needs to allow for corners and pipe penetrations needing a skillful treatment for which a simple \u2018monolithic\u2019 turn up of the under screed mat is inadequate.<\/p>\n

So, as well as ensuring the products meet demands, it is instrumental that people have the resource available such as\u00a0installation guide<\/a>,\u00a0technical information<\/a>\u00a0and\u00a0safety information<\/a>\u00a0to ensure products are installed correctly from the start and these types of problems don\u2019t arise on any build.<\/p>\n

Acoustic Products for High Rise Buildings<\/h2>\n

At Thermal Economics, we have a number of products that are well suited to the construction of high-rise buildings. An overview is provided below, but for more detail, please click on the relevant links to the product pages.<\/p>\n

As well as meeting Approved Document E, we know that the industry needs complete solutions that meet a range of acoustic regulations such as\u00a0Robust Details<\/a>\u00a0Compliance,\u00a0BREEAM<\/a> Credits, High-Performance Low-Frequency Solutions and Vibration Absorption Solutions to give architects, specifiers and builders the confidence that the products are going to meet the building needs.\u00a0 The R&D we invest in our products recognises these requirements.<\/p>\n
