Sound insulation. According to DIN 4109 / VDI 4100.

The value of the sound insulation when planning a bathroom is an important aspect for quality of living. For this reason, providing protection from noise from water installations in the bathroom is particularly important. The applicable building regulation foundations are set out in DIN 4109 "Sound insulation in structural engineering".

DIN 4109 / VDI 4100.

Test report

Our sound insulation technical test certificates are based on typical practical sample installations. With higher installations, lower sound insulation values can be achieved.
The evaluation applies as an example for a 12 m2 sized room requiring sound insulation. The measurement of water splash sounds is made on the basis of DIN EN ISO 10052.
The installation heights of the Kermi wet floor systems can be seen in the sectional drawings, refer to the installation situations, serial part LINE wet floor system / POINT wet floor system for the current wet floor system and shower enclosure, prices and technology.
