Comfort and well beingAcoustic comfort

The value of silence

Only sound insulation that has been planned for and integrated in the earliest blueprint stage can be expected to achieve maximum effect. In our endeavour to control noise, every detail counts that are able to influence the noise level in a positive way. Good planning takes many factors into account. In order to block out ambient noise, external walls, roof and windows need to be perfectly insulated. In addition, carefully designed internal walls, floors and ceilings block the noise produced within the building itself.

It is also important to effectively insulate sound carriers: this includes heating and ventilation systems. In the relatively short phase of construction planning, the course is set for the long-term acoustic comfort of a house. An efficient, carefully installed insulation system is able to protect against noise over its entire lifetime. Once properly installed, sound insulation systems don’t need any further care or maintenance.

Recent studies confirm the willingness of property buyers to pay higher prices for houses featuring excellent sound insulation. This proves that an investment in acoustic comfort pays off in many ways.
