We undertake projects on all types of residential buildings and commercial buildings. We also undertake sound testing on schools and buildings containing rooms …
Preparing for Sound TestingFor APT to undertake accurate sound testing we require that certain guidelines are followed, i.e. keeping site noise levels to be kept to a minimum etc. To record accurate test measurements, relatively quiet conditions are required on-site throughout the testing. Any site operatives working in the testing area will have to leave …
What Types of Sound Testing are required for Approved Document E? Sound insulation testing must be carried out on new build and conversion dwellings. The dwellings will either require Airborne and/or impact sound testing depending on the type of dwelling. For houses airborne wall tests are usually required; however, for flats you usually need to carry …
Sound Insulation Testing Information for Clients Sound insulation testing or pre-completion sound testing must be carried out on new build dwellings as well as on converted dwellings. The dwellings will either require an Airborne sound test or an Airborne and Impact sound test. Airborne tests are carried out on separating walls between habitable rooms of dwellings such as …
Want to Know More About Sound Testing? Airborne and Impact Sound is transmitted through most walls and floors by setting the entire structure into vibration. This vibration generates new sound waves of reduced intensity on the other side. The passage of sound into one room of a building from a source located in another room …
Identifying Building Defects: Thermographic Building Surveys Thermography measures surface temperatures of buildings by using infrared cameras. These instruments see light that is in the heat spectrum. Images on the video record the temperature variations of the building’s envelope, ranging from white – for warm regions, to black for cooler areas. The resulting thermal images help …
The importance of thermal imaging on Commercial Buildings. Thermal imaging inspections are the best way to assess continuity of insulation once the building fabric is complete on commercial buildings. It is also a very effective method of locating air leakage paths in a completed building. This article discusses the legal requirements in Building Regulations and …
