For 2005, Durapipe UK is concentrating on raising awareness for the acoustics and sound insulation debate, in a bid to help drive improved sound insulation for all new design and builds On the back of Part E, resistance to the passage of sound, Durapipe UK is speaking out and advising the building services industry, from consultants through to installers, to make pipe acoustics and sound insulation a priority, and potentially head off major contractual problems in the future

Complete Pipe Solutions In The North West
A range of pipe and joint solutions from Durapipe UK have been specified to cater for new build office and laboratory space in the North West.
Part E does not currently include noise levels for plumbing and drainage systems, but as acoustic improvements are made in other areas, noise generated from pipework, will become increasingly more noticeable to end users.
As a result, Durapipe UK believes that decision makers should already be looking to lay down maximum sound levels in current contracts.
Commenting on the issue, Martyn Rowlands, Head of Marketing for Durapipe UK said: "Acoustics is already high on the public's agenda and we've seen a significant rise in interest for our Friaphon Sound Attenuated Drainage System, as contractors look to meet the increasing acoustic requirements within modern buildings." "In light of Part E and revisions to standards such as DIN 4109-10, which looks at the sound pressure levels emitted by sanitary installations for residential buildings, we can only see this issue becoming even more prominent in the future." The launch of The Friaphon Sound Attenuated Drainage System from Durapipe UK last year, saw the company make a significant move to providing a high performance solution to meet acoustic requirements.
Friaphon is constructed with Dual Technology, which extrudes two materials of different densities together, guaranteeing excellent sound insulation, to offer a superior solution for all above ground drainage and internal rainwater applications and ideal for the design and build of developments such as inner city apartments, schools and hotels.
