Sound insulation for communal staircase
areas

Halfen now offers the all-new HBB Sound Insulation Box which is designed to isolate sound in communal staircase areas.

To meet the government's housing requirements, the construction of apartment dwellings continues to increase and with it comes a new set of building regulations One of the latest, Part E seeks to improve the comfort of apartment residents by reducing sound transmission

To help achieve this, Halfen now offers the all-new HBB Sound Insulation Box which is designed to isolate sound in communal staircase areas.

Transfer of footfall-induced sound between the staircase landing and the internal apartment dwelling is prevented by effectively resting the landing on a special high-performance elastomeric layer within the HBB box.

The elastomeric layer is trapezoidal-shaped in two directions above and below the horizontal.

Structural integrity is provided by specially-designed shear link reinforcement which spans between the floor landing and the wall.

HBB is suitable for both precast and in-situ landing applications.

Full details are available on request. Request a free brochure from Halfen ...
