Impact sound AND structural protection for terraces, balconies, loggias and pergolas

The DAMTEC® sonic and DAMTEC® sonic drain plus structural protection rolls made from 100% sustainable recycled rubber granulate have been specially developed for these applications.

Impact sound and airborne sound insulation in buildings is regulated by DIN 4109. The aim here is to ensure that no disruptive effects occur.

In addition to the usual living and working spaces, people also spend a lot of time outdoors. Here, spacious roof terraces, balconies and loggias offer space to relax and enjoy.

Of course, noise protection from neighbours is also a prerequisite for carefree use. Walking noises, moving chairs and noises must not be transmitted into the neighbouring flat.

The facts

In the "old" DIN 4109, balconies were not explicitly considered when it came to impact sound insulation. The "new" DIN 4109 from 01/2018 improves on this and also requires impact sound values here.

The requirements for minimum impact sound insulation

Proposals for increased sound insulation for components such as balconies are set out in DIN 4109 Part 5. A demand for balconies, e.g. due to balcony furniture and more intensive use, justifies and requires an adjustment of the minimum impact sound insulation value of 58dB. The lack of living space also contributes significantly to the fact that balconies and roof terraces are increasingly being used as living space.

 

The solution

Here it is possible to achieve very good impact sound insulation with the help of the impact sound insulation and structural protection mat DAMTEC sonic and DAMTEC sonic drain plus from KRAIBURG Relastec GmbH & Co. KG. This compact 3-in-1 solution for reducing impact sound, protecting the waterproofing and creating a drainage layer on external ceilings combines DIN 18531 and DIN 4109, achieving an impact sound improvement value of up to 42 dB.

Made from recycled rubber granulate, the mats provide optimum protection for areas under terraces, balconies and pergolas, reducing disturbing noise and standing water above the waterproofing. Different structures and systems are available depending on the surface covering and substructure.
