Abstract

Gives detailed guidance on the construction and acoustic performance of internal floors and walls using cold formed steel sections, and more general advice on the acoustic insulation of a variety of external walls using steel cladding or framing systems. The principles of sound insulation and performance requirements of modern buildings are covered. A range of generic floor and wall types is examined, and their suitability for use in domestic, commercial and other types of building is discussed. Performance Tables are included giving sound insulation values for the different systems.
