Acoustic design for timber buildings can be a tricky subject at the best of times – made harder when there is a lack of information from product suppliers.
To help we have introduced a XYLOFON TECHNICAL MANUAL with the results of the tests carried out on XYLOFON and every possible value: those for designing the correct profile according to the load (in both static and dynamic conditions), the values of acoustic improvement for calculating the performance of a partition according to EN ISO 12354, or the vibration reduction index for joints between CLT panels and flanking transmission values measured on site.
Soundproofing compared with fire resistance, sustainability, mechanical interaction: 98 pages of data and graphs from a real sound guru, available to you here using the link below.
