Poresta@ sound-proofing according to DIN 4109 / VDI 4100

Product catalog summary

Overview
Poresta® provides sound-proofing solutions for floor-level shower systems and supporting frames, tested according to DIN 4109 and VDI 4100 standards. These systems are designed to reduce noise transmission from water installations and impact sound, ensuring compliance with noise regulations and enhancing comfort.

Specifications
Poresta® systems achieve noise levels as low as 14 dB(A) for shower systems and up to 19 dB(A) for supporting frames, well below the DIN 4109 minimum requirement of 30 dB(A).

Testing and Standards
All systems are tested by the Fraunhofer Institute for Building Physics under realistic conditions to ensure compliance with current standards, simulating typical installation scenarios for reliable noise level measurements.

Installation and Performance
Poresta® systems are installed flush with the floor, providing additional bathroom space and ease of access. They are suitable for residential buildings, nursing units, and hospitals, where noise reduction is critical.

Sound-Proofing Requirements
According to DIN 4109 and VDI 4100, the systems must meet specific sound-proofing levels:

Minimum requirements: Lln ≤ 30 dB(A)
Increased sound-proofing: Lln ≤ 25 dB(A)
Impact noise levels: L‘n,w ≤ 53 dB for minimum requirements and L‘n,w ≤ 46 dB for increased sound-proofing

Product Options
Poresta® offers various sound-proofing sets:

Basic Set 1: Includes 5 mm noise absorption mats for showers up to 1200 x 1200 mm.
Complete Set 2: Features 17 mm noise absorption mats and formwork elements for enhanced sound-proofing.

Conclusion
Poresta® sound-proofing systems effectively reduce noise for water installations and impact sound, ensuring compliance with DIN 4109 and VDI 4100 standards, suitable for various building types.

Specifications
Poresta® offers components like noise absorption mats, formwork elements, and adhesive strips for showers up to 1200 x 1200 mm, with optional components for larger systems.

Procedures
Installation involves laying a noise absorption mat, followed by construction foil, placing formwork elements, filling with a compound, and gluing the shower system to the formwork.

Standards and Measurements
Sound insulation is a key feature, with impact noise improvement figures like ∆Lw,R: 27 dB, meeting DIN 4109 requirements.

Recommendations
For optimal sound-proofing, use complete or basic set configurations, including noise absorption mats, construction foil, and formwork elements.

Key Data from Tables and Graphs
Measured sound levels in different building areas, such as 12 dB(A) in the basement rear and 18 dB(A) at the ground level rear, are provided.

Installation Methods
Different methods are outlined for rough and floating floors, with accessories like supporting frames and silicon joint sealants recommended.

Poresta® sound-proofing for Poresta® floor-level shower systems and Poresta® supporting frames Our systems are tested for practical use Some of the sound pressure levels that we have measured in our systems installed in a room requiring sound-proofing are so low that they can barely be perceived by the human ear. Noise measurements on our systems are always carried out in installations that mirror authentic situations. This entails the following for our floorlevel shower systems: As a comparison: approximately 30 dB(A), a figure that corresponds to the minimum requirement stipulated by DIN 4109,...
