Acoustic efficiency

‘Noisy neighbours’ aren’t just a cliché. Three quarters of all reports to environmental officers are for domestic noise.

Through extensive research and development, timber systems has a proven track record in solving this problem. Our state of the art technology and design expertise allows us to produce products with party floors and walls systems that exceed the current legislative minimum standards by up to 35%.

Sigma – an effective solution

The Sigma® home utilises unique properties to dampen noise throughout, throughout, offering a number of distinct advantages:

  • airborne sound insulation values that are at least 8dB higher than current Building Regulations demand
  • build up methods provide enhanced acoustic values of circa 2-3dB to reduce noise transfer through the floors
  • the dB-50 acoustic floor system utilises a special design of acoustic joist which delivers enhanced sound transfer performance equivalent to Robust Detail levels
