Part E Acoustic Building Regulations

Cellectas refurbishment and conversion solutions guide demonstrates how a number of commonly found separating floor and wall constructions can have their acoustic performance upgraded with proven, cost effective treatments that will exceed the demanding acoustic legislative requirements.
What do the Building Regulations require? To comply with current legislation, all separating floors and walls must be constructed in such a way as to achieve minimum prescribed acoustic values. Tests must be carried out by an accredited acoustic engineer to demonstrate compliance. Refurbishment and conversion projects Each construction element adopting exactly the same construction must be precompletion tested (PCT) by an accredited acoustician at a rate of 1:10.

Historic Buildings With some historical buildings undergoing a material change of use it may not be practical to achieve the prescribed sound performance values. In these cases, Building Control bodies should be satisfied that everything reasonable has been done to improve the sound performance of the structure. PCT is normally required and the results submitted accordingly.
Airborne sound tested to BS EN ISO 140-4 1998

Selecting the correct acoustic solution

Each projects acoustic characteristics are different and should be assessed on an individual basis. Before a solution can be proposed, a number of important facts need to be established:
1 Is the proposed development deemed to be new build or change of use (including refurbishment)? 2 What element(s) are to be addressed: walls floors ceilings? 3 What is the construction makeup of all the walls, floors and ceilings? 4 Is the existing ceiling to be retained or upgraded? 5 Are there restrictions on the height of the floor finish and ceiling depth? Once the information has been gathered, either select one of the solutions given on pages 4 16, or should the construction not be detailed, contact Cellectas technical team on 08456 717174 with the specific construction details. 3

Design & installation details

Cellecta

The acoustic performance of the floor structure will be compromised if the acoustic floorboard is not completely isolated from the timber joists, subfloor, services, door frames, surrounding walls and their treatments. To address this risk, each potential problem area needs to be detailed accordingly.

Eliminating Acoustic Flanking

Cellecta

The acoustic efficiency of the floor or wall will be adversely affected should acoustic bridging between the acoustictreatment and the surrounding structures occur (known as flanking transmission). All floor finishes must be isolated from the surrounding walls (including plaster finish and skirting boards), door linings, services and other structural elements. To address acoustic flanking, Cellecta manufactures an extensive range of flexible extruded polyethylene edge strips to suit each specific treatment.

DO NOT secure the floating floor treatment to the sub-deck or floor joists. DO NOT sit the skirting board or allow the plaster or plasterboard to make direct contact with the floor treatment.

Ensure the acoustic floor treatment is free floating and not fixed to the sub-structure. Use YELOfon flanking strip to isolate the floating floor treatment from the wall and its finishes.

Ceiling Treaments

Cellecta

The resistance to airborne sound depends mainly on the mass per unit area of the structural floor and supporting walls, and partly on the ceilings construction. It is therefore important to choose a ceiling treatment that complements the performance of the chosen structural floor, to produce an overall structure that exceeds the required values. Decoupling the ceiling from the structural floor is an effective way of reducing the contact path that impact sound can follow. Adding mass in the way of plasterboard to the floor structure and filling the ceiling void with a mineral wool will also improve the acoustic performance of the structure. Detailed below are for four types of ceiling treatments available in order of performance:
1: Independent ceiling Cavity filled with 50mm FIBREfon Micro Slab 50 or 100mm mineral wool (45kg/m3). 3: Plasterboard on Cellecta HP30 deep resilient bars Cavity filled with 50mm FIBREfon Micro Slab 50 or 100mm mineral wool (45kg/m3).

Up to 600mm centres

2: Proprietary metal frame suspended ceiling system Cavity filled with 50mm FIBREfon Micro Slab 50 or 100mm mineral wool (45kg/m3).

4: Plasterboard on proprietary shallow resilient bars Cavity filled with 50mm FIBREfon Micro Slab 50 or 100mm mineral wool (45kg/m3).

Up to 450mm centres Notes. Further guidance is given in Approved Document E and the manufacturer of the proposed ceiling system. Professional advice should be sought to ensure the overall floor construction complies with current fire regulations.
