When a new luxury apartment complex began construction in Queenstown, soundproofing was a top priority. Learn more about how they achieved better acoustics between mid-floors with PhoneStar
Acoustic performance without suspended floors.
Timber joist floors are characterised by their low mass, which results in relatively low acoustic performance. One significant challenge in designing timber floors is that standard acoustic delta values, often derived from tests on concrete do not usually apply. Low frequencies, in particular, are difficult to prevent from transferring between spaces.
