To achieve sufficient noise reduction, planning water supply and drainage systems in the right way is crucial. There are certain basics that should be considered in order to ensure successful planning.
Wavin's SoundCheck tool can tell you already in the early design phase whether the sound level in the different rooms in the building complies with current legislation. Enter information about rooms and your installation, and check if your project achieves the right values.
The high demands for noise regulation and more complex requirements can make it difficult to choose the right pipe solutions. Typically, the drainage pipes are just a small part of a new construction, and therefore limited time is spent on these decisions. However, the wrong drain pipes can have a major impact in the long term. Therefore, Wavin gives you a guide to an optimal solution when choosing noise-reducing drainage pipes.
It is essential when drainage pipes are to be selected that the pipes after installation comply with the noise requirements from the technical installations in accordance with the limit values in the local building legislation.
How can you be sure that you are choosing the right noise-reducing drainage systems?
Wavin, the leading supplier of plastic piping systems to the drainage, water and plumbing sector, has over 30 years of experience in low noise piping systems.
With extensive research and development of the properties of sound and pipe materials, Wavin has therefore identified a number of important factors on simplifying the selection process for noise-cancelling pipes, taking into consideration properties of used dry walls, bricks, pipes or shaft insulation, brackets, way of installation and design.
Why use Wavin's SoundCheck tool?
The comprehensive noise regulations are regularly updated and it can be a complicated exercise to calculate noise levels of a room as a result of the selected drainage system and it’s position inside the building. With Wavin's online SoundCheck tool, you can calculate the noise simply and easily.
The SoundCheck tool is designed so that the system simulates the acoustics of the pipes in question in the given installation and calculates the noise level based on the individual parameters in a specific room. It can also be used to select the right insulation to meet the requirements. With just four simple steps, you are guided through the SoundCheck tool, where you can subsequently choose to receive a complete report and avoid worries about whether your project's piping system meets the applicable sound requirements.
