Introduction
Acoustic
Effective sound insulation is also an essential requirement where commercial or industrial operations generate noise at levels, which could be harmful to the health or efficiency of the building occupants, or present an environmental nuisance.
Rain Noise
Impact noise from rain must be considered at an early part in the roof design, due to the fact that this can significantly increase the indoor noise level.
Building regulations
Building regulations relating to noise and sound are contained in Technical Guidance Document E, (click to download). In Northern Ireland, acoustic regulations are contained in Technical Booklet G and G1, (click to download). The control of noise pollution is an ever-increasing problem. The solution tends to be specific to each building and is dependent on the type and source of the noise. Find out more with Rockwool SoundPro range.
