FIRE - SOUND - U-VALUE

Product catalog summary
Overview: The document outlines technical specifications and guidelines for construction elements, focusing on fire resistance, sound insulation, and thermal performance (U-value). It includes detailed tables and figures for structural components like roofs, walls, and beams, using products from specific manufacturers.
General Assumptions: Structures primarily use products from Byggma, Forestia AS, Huntonit AS, Masonite Beams AB, and Uldal AS. For unspecified products, minimum standards apply. Calculations are based on SINTEF Building Research Design Guides.
Fire Resistance: Fire resistance classifications, such as REI30, are documented for various structures. Insulation types other than mineral wool require documentation of fire properties.
Sound Insulation: Sound insulation values are provided for structures, including airborne and impact sound for beams, and air/sound reduction for walls. Documentation is required for insulation types other than mineral wool.
U-Value Calculations: U-values are calculated according to NS-EN ISO standards, considering material types and qualities. Tables for U-values in different construction scenarios, including passive and low-energy houses, are provided.
Roof Structures: Details on various roof structures, including ventilated roofs with different materials and compact roofs with Masonite beams, are provided. U-values are based on beam height and insulation thickness.
Interior Walls: Specifications include insulation thickness, upright dimensions, sound reduction, and fire resistance. The impact of alternative materials on sound and fire properties is noted.
Exterior Walls: U-values and sound reduction figures are provided, with calculations based on timber ratios and specific construction details. Fire resistance is also considered.
Energy Efficiency and Thermal Bridges: The document discusses heat loss in structural transitions and provides methods for calculating thermal bridge values, emphasizing their importance in energy efficiency calculations.
Sound Beam Structure:
  • Ceiling Construction: Utilizes audio brackets, 30x48 laths, and layers of gypsum board for sound and fire resistance. Fire rating is REI 60 with impact sound at 48-50 dB and airborne sound at 55 dB.
  • Beam Structure: Masonite floor beams with a ceiling of two panel layers. Insulation includes a minimum of 200 mm mineral wool, secured with steel wire.
  • Fire and Sound Characteristics: Changes in structure can affect fire and sound characteristics. Specific configurations are detailed for different sound and fire resistance levels.
Covering:
  • Heavy Separating Floors: Describes characteristics of floors with floating board materials on impact-sound dampening mineral wool. Fire resistance is REI 90 with impact sound at 53-57 dB and airborne sound at 47-55 dB.
Windows:
  • Fire Retardant Windows: Uldal windows are available in EI-30 class, with options for fixed sill and top swing. They include features like lockable handles and are not intended for ventilation.
  • U Value: Uldal windows meet passive building standards with U values as low as 0.64, surpassing the requirement of 0.8.
  • Sound Reduction: Standard windows provide 32dB sound reduction, with options up to 43dB. Installation recommendations vary based on sound insulation requirements.

Assumptions The structures shown are produced with Byggma products from Forestia AS for chipboard, Huntonit AS for wood fibreboard and MDF boards, Masonite Beams AB for I-beams and I-uprights and Uldal AS for windows. All structures will include products from other manufacturers. For these products, if the manufacturer and product are not stated, minimum values for product characteristics from product standards are used in the tables for fire, sound and U value. If test results are available, these are used, while for structures that have not been tested, calculated values are applied in accordance...

The tables present an overview with proposed minimum dimensions, depending on the insulation's quality, the wall structure and the regulations' requirements concerning U value. For walls, a detached house with a normal door and window area with a wood ratio of L"=3.5m/m2 is assumed. The relevant structure must nonetheless be controlled against Byggma's U-value tables or by own calculations. Energy efficiency and thermal bridge values In most cases, there will be a greater heat loss in transitions between structural elements than in the actual wall, e.g. between wall and beam structure/covering/roof...

Roof structures with rafters, purlins or top flanges of Masonite beams or timber. Timber is solid wood, glued laminated wood and LVL (laminated veneer lumber). U value The tables are developed in collaboration with SINTEF Building Research. Material properties for chipboard with a minimum thickness of 12 mm, and wood fibreboard and MDF boards with a minimum thickness of 11 mm, are used. If other ceiling materials are to be used, they must have minimum the same characteristics with regard to U value as the aforementioned chipboard, wood fibreboard and MDF boards.

The boards are installed in one or several layers. Fire resistance Wood-based boards must have a minimum thickness of 9 mm and a density of at least 600 kg/m3. Wood fibreboard and MDF boards must have a minimum thickness of 11 mm. If a different thickness is required, this is described for the relevant detail/figure.

U value In the tables for Masonite uprights, upright quality (type R) is used. The tables are developed in collaboration with SINTEF Building Research and the same calculation assumptions are used as described in their Building Research Design Series, construction detail 471.231. The U values stated in the tables are calculated for walls with different numbers of metres of studwork per m2 of net wall area, L". If own calculations of L" give another value that specified in the tables, interpolation between the U values can be used. See the calculation method and examples in the Building Research...

Beam structure The beam structures are shown in the tables for each figure. U value The beam structure tables are for beam structures above uninsulated, ventilated rooms. For beam structures to the outdoors, such as beam structures on piles/columns, the U value is 3-0% higher, with the greatest difference for the lowest beam heights. For beam heights of 350 and 400 mm, which satisfy TEK10 in terms of U value, the difference is 1-2%. BEAM STRUCTURE ULDAL...

Airborne sound Airborne sound insulation for sound beam structure R'w, measured in dB. Airborne sound insulation is the field-measured reduction of airborne sound that can be expected through the separating floor in a final building. The higher the value, the better the airborne sound insulation. The field-measured value is subject to the requirements in the regulations. In the regulations, the airborne sound insulation is recommended not to be lower than 55 dB for separating floors in timber buildings with several storeys.
