Sound reducing membrane part of roof system at scheme


C


MS Danskin Acoustics has supplied an innovative sound reducing underlayment,


designed specifically


for external use, as part of the roof systems at the prestigious new 38 Berkeley Square development in Mayfair, London. When complete in September 2024, 38 Berkeley Square will provide 7,897 m² of office space over nine upper storeys plus retail space at ground and lower ground floors and terrace gardens. The new build scheme is being developed by Berkeley Estate Asset Management, the main contractor is the Mace Group and the architects are Piercy & Company. 1,425 m² of ‘REGUPOL sound and drain 22’ have been incorporated to counter vibration and noise from rooftop plant, rain and footfall. This acoustic product achieves sound insulation levels of 28 to 37 dB. Developed for use on rooftops, terraces and balconies, it has a dimpled profile underside to give good drainage and water flow capacity


and is rot-proof.


‘REGUPOL sound and drain 22’ was selected for the project,


satisfying the


acoustic performance specification developed by acoustics consultants Clarke Saunders, which took into account the location of two air source heat pumps and an air conditioning unit on the roof deck and the demanding requirements for limitation on sound transfer into the offices below. CMS Danskin Acoustic’s technical team advised on materials to meet the criteria set. Supplied to the scheme’s roofing system provider Radmat, ‘REGUPOL sound and drain 22’ was incorporated as part of both the porcelain tiled roof terrace build-up above the cross laminated timber (CLT) deck and the planted green roof. Installation was undertaken by All Metal Roofing. Made from recyclate, ‘REGUPOL sound


and drain 22’ is 15 mm thick and has a load bearing capacity up to 50 kN/m². It has also been used in schemes such as:

Sto maximises thermal effi ciency and aesthetics for retrofi tted homes


In partnership with E.ON and Green Homes Solutions, Sto has enhanced energy effi ciency for Cheshire residents while maintaining the traditional appearance of their homes. All the properties have been upgraded with Sto’s external wall insulation (EWI) system. Installed by Green Homes Solutions, the EWI system is improving the homes’ thermal performance by reducing heat loss and energy consumption while protecting the properties from weather damage. The risk of condensation, damp and mould has also been minimised. To meet the needs of residents, who did not want the look or feel of their homes to change, Sto’s solution included a range of products designed to replicate the homes’ traditional brick appearance and complement architectural details. This saw StoCleyer B brick slips, StoDeco profi les and StoFentra Duo windowsills installed on each property. The StoCleyer B brick slips offer a realistic brick appearance with a durable, weather-resistant fi nish. The StoDeco Profi les replicate stone architectural detailing on the window heads and are manufactured using a lightweight material that is easy to install.
