The Technology of Silence

We are constantly surrounded by noise - at work, play, in our homes. In the workplace noise can cause deafness, absenteeism, reduced output and an increase in accidents. General hubbub in sports and leisure buildings, if too high, cause unease and discomfort. Ignoring noise and its effects at a building's design stage can be serious.

Sound reduction techniques used in the acoustic treatment of the building envelope improve comfort inside the building whilst protecting the environment outside. Insulation of airborne sound stops noises given off inside a building affecting the outs die environment and conversely external noises such as road, rail and air traffic disturbing the quiet atmosphere inside a building. Buildings need to be insulated with products designed to absorb the specific frequency spectrum of the sound source.

Sound given off within a building is reflected off internal walls and may even be amplified. Improved comfort inside a building means making the internal surfaces absorbent to reduce reverberation time and increase spatial decline.

Axter offers a wide range of light weight low slope and pitched roofing as well as vertical cladding systems which are used to control airborne sound in all types of building. Special techniques have been designed to give levels of sound insulation which can normally be found only by mass concrete.
