Building acoustics

In modern building acoustics, the sound insulation of buildings plays a decisive role in people's health and well-being. Effective sound insulation is particularly essential in residential construction.

However, sound insulation is not only important in the residential sector: it also makes a significant contribution to the functionality and comfort of rooms in schools, hospitals, hotels and office buildings. This is regulated in DIN 4109, VDI 4100 and the DEGA sound insulation certificate.

We are your competent partner for all questions relating to structural sound insulation. Whether new construction or renovation of residential buildings, office buildings, restaurants or discos - we support architects, civil engineers and building owners with customised solutions. In cooperation with TÜV NORD Immobilien, we offer comprehensive advice on all building physics challenges.

• Carrying out quality tests in accordance with DIN 4109 as a sound insulation testing centre certified by the Association of Materials Testing Offices (VMPA)
• Measurement and assessment of airborne and impact sound insulation in accordance with DIN EN ISO 16283 as well as building services noise in residential and commercial buildings
• Investigation of sound transmission paths in buildings
• Noise measurements on building services systems
• Preparation of mathematical proof of sound insulation in the planning of buildings
• Advice on building and room acoustics in the planning and refurbishment of buildings and rooms
• Optimisation of structural sound insulation
