What is acoustic soundproofing waste system?
An acoustic soundproofing waste system, also known as acoustic pipes, is a drainage system that reduces noise levels. Every object in motion makes noise that transmits vibrations to the surrounding air. There are 2 types of noise in waste systems, air borne noise & structure-borne noise.
What causes noisy waste pipes?
The lack of allowance for thermal movement and lack of contact with the external structure is one of the main causes of noise with the most common PVC pipes.
Why do I need an acoustic soundproofing waste system?
Choosing a system with an elevated soundproofing performance is important as the constant use of any waste system can generate noise inside the pipelines causing it to vibrate from the fall of the liquid being discharged. The National House Building Council (NHBC) Federation statistics shows that 15% of all noise complaints from homeowners in detached properties are due to noise from water pipes & WCs. Installing a soundproofing waste system will guarantee lower noise emission.
