Noise control in buildings
is of great significance for the health and well being of the occupants,
especially in residential dwellings, since they must provide an environment
that is restful and relaxing. The building envelope must also maintain
privacy for the occupants. CELCRETE AAC provides a sound insulation
value 7dB greater than other solid building materials of the same
weight per surface area. It’s high surface mass coupled with
the mechanical vibration energy damping within it’s porous
structure produces a construction material with exceptional sound
absorption properties.
In addition to using a wall material with superior sound insulation
qualities, it is essential to construct a wall in a manner that closes
off air leaks and paths by which noise can go around or through the
assembly. CELCRETE’S simple construction methods help to eliminate
imperfections which allow sound transmission through walls, thus
providing a wall assembly which offers superior sound insulation
characteristics for the occupants. |
