Building Compliance
Building Regulations Part E requires sound insulation testing to ensure that partition walls and floors meet the required standards for sound insulation. Vision Energy has worked on a large number of projects across the UK to design and test in accordance with Building Regulations Part E.
Sound insulation testing is carried out to determine the reduction of sound through partition walls and floors of neighbouring properties. Building Regulations Part E sets out minimum reductions for both airborne and impact sound that indicate sound reduction is at an adequate level for the intended building use.
Building Regulations Part E states that a minimum of one set of tests should be carried out for every 10 dwellings. One set of tests consists of: 2× Airborne wall tests, 2× Airborne floor tests, 2× Impact floor tests.
Next-day certification is available. The reports provided will satisfy Building Control provided all tests meet the standards in Building Regulations Part E.
