The brief
-
We were instructed by a well established property developer to complete Sound Insulation Testing on these two lovely Luxury Holiday Cottages at The Bothies, Weston Park in Staffordshire
-
The original buildings which were renovated date back to use during WW1
-
This was an Airborne Party Wall test
-
To pass an Airborne test, you must score 43db or hig her (45 on new build properties)
-
Airborne tests measure the difference in sound levels between the receiver room and neighbouring walls or floors
-
If the sound output in the receiver room is 100db and the sound leakage being passed through into the neighbouring room is 40db, then the result would be 60 and therefore would be a pass
The process
- After reviewing drawings, on site testing was ready to be completed. All calibrated equipment was setup in accordance to our strict procedures to ensure the most accurate result possible
