INSULATION 45


Acoustic scheme for historic Standon Hall A


coustic insulation experts CMS Danskin


Acoustics have worked


with historic Standon Hall to specify and supply a range of acoustic products to reduce the impact of airborne and impact sound transmission in the Grade II* listed Staffordshire venue. During the course of redeveloping the early 20th Century country house into a high-quality wedding and business venue, Standon Hall made acoustics a key element for investment. CMS Danskin Acoustic’s in-house technical team conducted a site assessment in order to specify an insulation strategy to address structure borne noise and absorb sound. The objective was to prevent noise


transfer


between ground floor functions rooms and nine bedrooms and suites above. Andrey Magiy, Standon Hall’s MD,


said:


“It was as important to prevent sounds from above being heard in meetings and conferences below, as it was to prevent noise from ground floor functions filtering up into the bedrooms.”


The resulting acoustics strategy from CMS Danskin Acoustics involved the installation of

S


ince 2012, Danish acoustic wood wool manufacturer Troldtekt has been leading the way with its sustainable practices and


leadership. An early adopter of the Cradle- to-Cradle design concept, the company has focused on its material health, reutilisation, energy,


water and adoption of social responsibility


winning recognition and numerous green awards over the years. The


Futurecem™ has


now further enhanced the manufacturing process and elevated Troldtekt to Cradle- to-Cradle Gold Certification. In addition, and being both FSC®


and PEFC™ certified,


the company has set strict environmental targets for its manufacture and products culminating in a transparent roadmap in its annual CSR reports. This has led the company to be one of Europe’s most vociferous advocates for sustainable design and one which contributes positively to BREEAM,


WELL, DGNB-Certifications. LEED and Futurecem™ is a new patented cement


from Aalborg Portland. Absorbing more CO2 than it creates during production, its incorporation into Troldtekt’s wood wool panels gives


Troldtekt acoustic


panels their strength, durability and fire- protective properties without the use of harmful chemicals. This combination also means that Troldtekt’s panels have a negative carbon footprint right up until it is time for them to be disposed of or recycled – a phenomenal result.

Troldtekt’s natural and inherently sustainable panels offer high sound absorption and tactile surface,


coupled


with high durability and low-cost lifecycle performance. Available in various sizes and in four grades, from extreme fine to coarse, the panels can be left untreated or painted in virtually any RAL colour. Samples,


case studies and technical


guidance are available from Troldtekt. 01978 664255 Troldtekt.co.uk

600 square metres of Smartspan floor panels, Karma TNF70 high density stone-fibre batt and REGUPOL acoustic isolation strip. Andy Hayes, CMS Danskin Specification Manager and IAO Affiliate, said: “Smartspan panels span across bearing structures such as, in this case, joists. They provide high acoustic performance, are easy to install, come in different thicknesses, such as

the 32 mm and 18 mm used at Standon Hall, and have a reaction to fire classification (EN 13501-1) A1.”


“Smartspan was also valuable for use in bathroom floors as it has excellent thermal conductivity making it ideal over UFH systems, has surface water absorption of only (EN20535) <300 g/m2, is suitable for stone and ceramic finishes and, with a tongue and groove profile, it is straight forward to install.” REGUPOL Acoustic Isolation Strip was also incorporated to reduce impact noise from first floor footfall. The strips are designed to sit beneath all types of partition walls and are a simple and effective way to reduce structure borne noise. Quick and easy to install, they provide long term performance without collapse or ‘bottoming’ out under high point loads, are resistant to ageing and deformation, are manufactured using recycled materials and are 100% recyclable. Karma TNF70 was also specified in places.
