The sound damping values are measured in accordance with German standard DIN 4109.

*) In the case of individual wall designs, higher sound insulation for THERMODUR wall elements may be specified in accordance with an inspection report of the Rhine-Westphalian Technical Inspection Agency in Essen dated 1 May 1999.

The wall elements are always plastered on one side (1 cm thick, 18 kg/m2).

If both sides are plastered, there is a further increase of 2 dB in the sound insulation value measured.

These values also apply to elements with core insulation.

Sound insulation

The natural pumice stone aggregate also ensures excellent values for both internal and external noise. There is effective insulation of both outbound and inbound airborne sound.
