Sound Insulation Testing & Ventilation Testing

THE BRIEF

UK Building Compliance conducted Combined Testing, the tests consisted of Sound Insulation Testing and Ventilation Testing for a property in Leicester. We also carried out Water Efficiency Calculations for this property.
The Sound Tests were Airborne Wall tests

To pass an Airborne test for new build properties you must score 45db or higher
Airborne tests measure the difference in sound levels between the receiver room and neighbouring walls or floors
If the sound output in the receiver room is 100db and the sound leakage being passed through into the neighbouring room is 40db, then the result would be 60 and therefore would be a pass

Sound Testing & Ventilation Testing

THE PROCESS

After our technicians calculated the areas of the apartments on site, testing was ready to be carried out. All calibrated equipment was setup in accordance to our strict procedures to ensure the most accurate result possible
