The sound insulation of a building is determined by the sound insulation of the individual components and their connection to one another – the component connections and nodes. The planned solutions can be checked in advance in the laboratory so that there are no bad building-acoustic surprises in the real building. We are well equipped for this in the Akustik Center Austria. And if an on-site measurement is needed after all, you've also come to the right place.
Accredited examinations
We are happy to carry out air or impact sound tests on your components. No matter whether you want to examine walls, ceilings, doors, windows, or large lift and slide elements. If necessary, we also check on-site to determine the sound insulation in existing buildings.
For the creation of test reports, we are accredited for the following standard procedures:
Measurement of airborne sound insulation of components
- In the lab (EN ISO 10140-1/2/4)
- In situ (EN ISO 16283-1)
Measurement of impact sound insulation of components
- In the lab (EN ISO 10140-1/3/4)
- In situ (EN ISO 16283-2)
In case of a sufficient data basis, we also carry out building acoustic assessments of components. By doing so, component testing can often be dispensed with.
