More information

  • Massive walls (single layer, 220 kg/m² mass per unit area) are separating each of the stacked rooms.
  • Test results can be used to prove compliance with requirements according to the German standard DIN 4109 and to the guideline VDI 4100.
  • Test results can be used for classification according to the Swiss standard SIA 181 (noise sensitivity levels).
