If improved acoustic performance is required, e.g. higher sound reduction values or reduced reverberation times, Kingspan insulated roof and wall systems can be constructed as indicated below.
Two solutions are provided, one for low humidity environments where there is low levels of air moisture and/or reasonable ventilation, and the second is for higher humidity applications such as swimming pools.
Low Humidity Application
These designs are for enhanced acoustic performance in a high humidity environment, e.g. swimming pools, leisure centres, and other high humidity processing environments.
The construction is designed to prevent condensation occurring within the acoustic layer.
The construction is designed so that the thermal insulation requirement is provided solely by the insulated panels, and the acoustic layer is only used for acoustic absorption and sound insulation. To eliminate condensation in the cavity it is necessary to provide ventilation with air from inside the building. This can easily be achieved by incorporating extractor fans within the acoustic profiled liner.
