Building Acoustics Main Services
Sound Insulation
We are experts in the field of sound insulation, with an impressive knowledge of both traditional and modern construction methods. The correct analysis, detailed design, and installation, of internal wall and floor constructions, is essential for a correctly functioning building.
Reverberation Control
Room acoustic design is extremely important to ensure that internal noise levels are controlled, and that music or speech can be easily heard, understood and enjoyed. We use the latest calculation and modelling methods to predict the acoustic performance for all room types, and advise on appropriate, cost-effective, design solutions.
Acoustic Modelling
We have the capabilities to carry out detailed acoustic modelling, using the latest software, to solve any design problem we may face. Our modelling capabilities range from analysing complex flanking paths, to predicting room acoustic environments, to mapping environmental noise levels across a proposed masterplan.
junction detailing
Junction detailing is where a seemingly good design can fail miserably when tested on completion. Flanking sound transmission through poorly detailed junctions is vital to the sound insulation between two rooms being compliant. We have vast experience in evaluating details, and providing simple, compliant, and buildable construction details.
At Clear Acoustic Design we have the expertise and experience to support any project, large or small. From minor residential refurbishments, to primary/secondary schools, to care homes, to huge mixed-use residential/office/commercial developments, we can provide the design support necessary to achieve acoustic compliance with the minimum of fuss.
Depending on the type of building, a specific set of design requirements will apply, often partnered by a set of Employers Requirements and planning conditions.
The most common design standards and guides are shown below against the relevant building type. At Clear Acoustic Design we provide architectural acoustic design advice in line with all of these standards and guides in pragmatic fashion, achieving full compliance, without a penny wasted.
