NOISE POLLUTION

The initial market the plaster is aimed at is for home or flat renovation or new build. Many properties have thin dividing walls that transmit noise pollution from room to room. This can be a real problem particularly with the current noise culture of televisions and music lifestyle. Party walls are also a main concern with noisy neighbours becoming an ever increasing problem in today’s noise culture climate. A method of sound insulation, using a re-cycled product, between walls and floors would be widely welcomed in the industry.

The acoustic sound insulation will help to prevent the transmission of noise whilst also fulfilling a role in substituting natural aggregates for re-cycled rubber and helping the environment.

Part E of the building regulations now in force stipulates dividing walls and floors must reach a robust standard detail concerning noise pollution. One method is to applyi a parge coat to walls. This makes Rubbercrete a more attractive proposition as the benefits of a re-cycled rubber mix are far superior and far outweigh those of products presently being used which are not sustainable..
