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 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.
