Our contribution
Part 1
Today’s world can be a noisy place. The sound environment in which we live, work and play is busy and often even disruptive. Good acoustics can make living indoors easier and more enjoyable, while there are health and well-being benefits for our bodies and minds too. In order to block out environmental noise a building envelope must be effectively sound insulated.
ISOVER provides a range of high-performance acoustic solutions, delivering high levels of acoustic insulation in partitions, party walls and floors. This range has been tested to ensure the highest possible decibel reduction, providing excellent acoustic comfort. It helps families to get the most out of their living spaces. Isover acoustic insulation allows sound reduction to be tailored to the requirements and lifestyle of the homeowner.
