The issue of sustainability in buildings has long been a major factor for specifiers when considering products for their projects. However, houses can also be awarded ‘points’ for their acoustic and thermal insulation properties. Sound Reduction Systems have now combined both acoustic and environmental properties within their Acoustilay range, ensuring peace of mind in terms of acoustic performance and environmental impact both with specifier and end user.
The product is manufactured entirely in the UK, therefore reducing the carbon footprint associated with imported goods. The barrier mat material, used to give Acoustilay mass, can be manufactured from pre, mixed and post industrial waste sources and is 100% recyclable at the end of its life. The unique PVC free material, which is exclusively available to SRS Ltd, has a proprietary polymer structure which ensures it is one of the least polluting plastics, and does not emit any toxic compounds when it burns. The new product will be green in colour so specifers, contractors and clients can be sure that the material on site is the new Acoustilay.
Acoustilay has long been a firm favorite with specifiers and end users due to its high acoustic performance, and ease of installation, and is often used to meet the requirements of Building Regulations Part E in flat conversions. However, Acoustilay is also widely used by people to simply upgrade the sound insulation of floors in their own properties for personal comfort.
Sound Reductions Systems have long maintained a commitment to provide free, professional advice on any acoustic problems to specifiers and end users alike, along with unique, high performance acoustic insulation materials for buildings. Their latest commitment is ensure that all their products and activities are as environmental friendly and sustainable as possible.
