Effective sound protection: the role of sound insulation and nonwovens
In an ever-noisier world, noise protection becomes a key issue in modern building projects. Whether in residential buildings, offices or public facilities - the acoustic quality of the surroundings significantly contributes to the well-being of residents and users. In this respect, it is important to differ between sound insulation and sound absorption. While sound insulation is intended to hinder sound from travelling through walls, ceilings and floors from one space to another, sound absorption is designed to reduce the amount of noise within a given space. In either case, innovative materials and solutions play a decisive role. Sandler Group offers a range of materials specifically designed to meet the increasing requirements towards sound insulation, sound absorption and noise protection.
Noise Protection: why it so important
Noise can be annoying, but it can also be a threat to your health. Permanent exposure to noise may lead to stress, sleep disorders and in the long term, it can even damage the cardiovascular system. It is therefore important to design vehicles or rooms in buildings in such a way that they are optimally protected against noise pollution. This is where Sandler Group´s nonwovens come into play as the basis for special noise protection.
Sound absorbing nonwovens: efficient solutions in mobility, construction and industrial environments
Insulating nonwovens are paramount in the sound insulation of buildings. They are used in ceilings, walls and floors to absorb sound waves and reduce reverberation in rooms. This creates a pleasant acoustic environment that contributes to greater living and working comfort. In industrial environments, insulating nonwovens help to control sources of noise generated by machinery and production processes. This improves the working conditions for employees, and it also reduces noise emissions to the outside world - a point of particular importance in urban areas. Insulating nonwovens are also indispensable in the field of mobility. In cars, trucks, trains, or airplanes they significantly reduce engine and driving noises. This increases the comfort of the occupants and contributes to a quieter, safer, and more pleasant travel experience. In e.g. the automotive industry, insulating nonwovens are integrated into trim and molded parts to optimize the interior acoustics of a vehicle.
