FERMACELI., THE MULTI-PURPOSE BOARD GENERAL PROPERTIES There are a bewildering array of construction systems and techniques to consider when specifying internal finishes. For partitions, this is most apparent when the properties required of the finished wall call for more than one type of building board to be used in the construction. Hotel bathrooms, for example, often require Moisture Resistance with Acoustic Insulation and Fire Protection. Hospitals will add Impact Resistance and flexibility in accepting wall mounted fittings to this. These criteria almost always demand compromise solutions...

PERFORMANCE CRITERIA and Wales must meet "fire resistance" performance criteria. The "reaction to fire" regulations deal with the potential contribution to a fire that basic materials may make and carry the award of a Class 0 Materials classification covering ignitability, fire propagation and surface Fermaceli Gypsum Fibreboards carry this Class 0 classification together with Euroclass A2, the second highest performance level under new EU rules of appropriately tested gypsum wallboards. Fermaceli also carries a class 1 surface spread of flame certification, the highest achievable. The "fire...

word, music and all other Sound is measured by comparing the pressure wave it creates as it travels from its source with the nominal threshold of hearing pressure and then compressing the range using a logarithmic scale. The result is the decibel scale, which starts at 0 dB - the point at which humans begin to hear sound - and progresses to 140 dB, the point at which a single short noise is likely to irreparably damage hearing. The scale enables sound levels picked up by the ear to be easily and meaningfully analysed - even a 3 dB change in sound pressure level is considered significant. Airborne...

houses, flats, schools, hotels and hostel types of accommodation. Whether new build or material change of use, all projects have different criteria, to improve the sound insulation and privacy between domestic and residential rooms. There are several ways of approaching compliance, primarily with the design of separating walls and floors that will meet and exceed the requirements in the guidance document. The onus is then on the installer to ensure good on site workmanship and consideration to the prevention of flanking transmission around the installed systems. As Part E sets out a requirement...

www.fermacell.co.uk THE THEORY OF SOUND INSULATION THE THEORY OF SOUND INSULATION IMPACT SOUND Airborne sound insulation is the ability of material separating two rooms to minimise the passage of airborne sound through either the dividing element or its surrounding structure. The materials are assessed on a sound reduction index by relating the sound power reduction through the material itself. Purpose built laboratories consist of two rooms with an opening between them, into which a test sample is inserted, thus allowing an evaluation of partitioning and other insulation structures. Similarly,...

SOUND INSULATION IN DWELLINGS www.fermacell.co.uk SOUND INSULATION IN DWELLINGS SEPARATING WALLS, FLOORS AND STAIRS The airborne sound insulation standard for separating walls, floors and stairs in purpose built dwelling houses and flats is 45 dB, expressed as D T + C . This target, with the addition of C . will ensure substantial sound insulation. Floors and stairs should have maximum values of impact The figures for dwellings and flats formed by Walls in purpose built rooms for residential purposes carry a standard for airborne sound insulation of 43 dB D T + C . floors and stairs sound requirements....
