Buildings Acoustic Conditioning

ACOUSTIC WALL INSULATION

The walls are a very important element when it comes to the soundproofing of a building.

The transmission of sound through the wall depends on many factors such as:

Mass of the wall;
Angle of incidence of sound waves;
Porosity of the wall;
Stiffness of the wall.

The soundproofing of a wall (between the sender and receiver location) will consequently not only increase the insulation of the wall under intervention, but also increase the result of the acoustic insulation of the adjoining ceiling, reinforcing the soundproofing of the adjacent places.

This increase may be due to the elimination of acoustic bridges, resulting from the union of the acoustic insulation of the ceiling with the original wall.

It is for this reason that, when dimensioning a room’s sound insulation, we always have to take into account the walls.

FLOOR ACOUSTIC INSULATION

To avoid the transmission of structural noise on the floor, it is essential to understand the source of the noise, to treat the floor acoustically and to take into account the elasticity of the material to be applied.

This acoustic treatment involves the use of resilient, elastic and flexible materials (cork, rubber, flexible base vinyls), floating slabs, floating floors or discontinuity in the structure, so that all structural noise (steps, falling objects, dragging) furniture, etc.) are absorbed by the sound absorbing and anti-vibration material, avoiding the transmission of sound through the structure.

The choice of materials to be applied depends on the type of noise and vibration you detect, as well as the building / space in question.

Cares to take in the execution of the Floating Slab:

the support element must not have surface irregularities that could damage the resilient layer or form rigid points between the elements;
the upper phase of the resilient layer (contact surface with the floating slab) must be watertight and sufficiently resistant;
the resilient layer must completely separate the floating slab from the entire building structure;
the pipes that run through the slab must be applied before the concrete slabs are poured, to avoid the formation of critical points.

INSTALLATION OF ACOUSTIC DOORS AND WINDOWS

Acoustic doors and windows are constructive elements that play an extremely important role in the choice of acoustic comfort in a building, as they are the most unfavorable and harmful elements. Whenever a surface has an opening, the insulating capacity is significantly reduced, so for these elements the insulation achieved depends a lot on the mass and airtight closing by placing resistant bands on the covering of the stops and joints.

It is also advisable to use frames with high air tightness and blinds boxes placed on the inside face of the frames, thus avoiding a ventilated interior / exterior space. Another alternative is to use blind boxes with acoustic treatment.

There is a wide range of acoustic doors and windows currently on the market, however for an adequate choice to your needs and acoustic comfort requirement, Ambiente Choice makes previous acoustic measurements on site, in order to implement the best insulation solution, ensuring the maximum acoustic comfort, with the least possible expense.

CEILINGS ACOUSTIC INSULATION

Existing buildings already have insulation, however, due to issues of discomfort between neighboring fractions (for example between commerce and housing) or because of the improvement of sound insulation, you may have to implement new sound insulation solutions through false ceilings. For this, we carry out previous measurements of the existing acoustic insulation in the place, in order to determine the acoustic insulation to be applied, guaranteeing the maximum acoustic comfort with the minimum possible expense, for your convenience and economy.

Absorbent Ceilings
Once a place has been soundproofed, a decorative ceiling is usually placed. Depending on the use of the site, we recommend the installation of a fixed or removable roof. In both cases it is very important that the ceiling has sound absorbing properties, to reduce the reverberation time of the space in order to guarantee a pleasant environment.

If you are thinking of changing the ceiling of your office, restaurant, classroom, cafeteria to improve acoustic comfort, contact us and we will have an answer for you.

SOUND SUPPRESSORS INSTALLATION

Attenuators are acoustic devices designed to guarantee the attenuation of the noise that propagates in the fluid flow. They are covered, inside, by absorbent material, where the air flow passes.

Acoustic attenuators have multiple applications, namely: air conditioning ducts, air intake and extraction units, compressors, generators, etc.

Once the needs of your noise problem are studied, we choose the most appropriate technical solution, always with previous acoustic measurements in situ.

ANTI-VIBRATIC SUPPORTS INSTALLATION

The anti-vibration supports, serve to reduce the structural noise produced by an emitting focus that is transmitted by the structure and its choice depends on the acoustic characteristics and provenance.

The emitting focus can originate in different places in the building, such as collective equipment (elevators, plumbing, HVAC, automatic garage doors, etc.), shops, bars, etc.

Once the needs of your noise problem are studied, we choose the most appropriate technical solution, always with previous acoustic measurements in situ.
