Acoustic Details

Building regulation Part E stipulate minimum acoustic performance for airborne and impact noise between adjacent dwellings.  The robustdetails ^® scheme is the alternative to pre-completion sound testing for satisfying Part E of the Building Regulations. Using the scheme avoids the uncertainties of pre-completion sound testing. It applies to new adjoined properties.
