As more and more people are living in noisy urban environments, unwanted noise has become one of the biggest annoyances of modern life. That’s why specifications for residential buildings, hotels and offices are increasingly calling for an acoustic performance from the building façade.
Various rainscreen systems incorporating RAINSCREEN DUO SLAB® have been tested for sound insulation by the Sound Research Laboratories in Sudbury, using both Rockpanel Rockclad and composite material outer cladding. Results of up to Rw 63 dB were achieved – for more information please see the Rainscreen Acoustic Performance Guide.
