Acoustic & Sound Insulation Testing

What is acoustic & sound insulation testing?

Sound Insulation Measurement testing, often called acoustic testing involves the measurement of floor and wall sound attenuation between dwellings or buildings. Part E of the building regulation requires either pre-completion testing to be carried out or the use of a standard robust detail. This is to ensure that the construction of walls and floors meet the minimum sound performance between dwellings ensuring privacy and comfort to occupiers.

​

Our experienced engineers are able to assist you at a design stage using sound prediction design software together with help and advice during and after the acoustic test. Our experience enables us to help your project whether it be houses, flats, shops, offices.

  • When should I get my SAP?
    Quite simply, the earlier we are involved, the more influence we can have on easily incorporating small changes with minimal cost which can make big impacts and huge savings in build cost and carbon.
  • How long does it take to get a SAP calculation?
    Generally a SAP calculation takes about 2-3 days to produce, we suggest however you allow 1 week from appointment to allow for busy periods.
  • What do you need to produce a SAP?
    We require drawings including plans, sections, elevations and site plan together with a proposed specification for the materials and insulation together with the heating and hot water appliances.
