Polyurethane bearing as soundproofing insulation for better-quality living and working conditions
When we talk of soundproofing insulation in building acoustics, we mean the bearing of floors, stairs, flanking, wall linings or pipes, etc.
Each of these areas has its own products and solutions. These can be used to achieve effective soundproofing. Getzner provides a great many different, customised bearing variants to ensure the long-term reduction of noise and vibration.
This can become a problem – particularly in multifunctional buildings, such as commercial buildings – if a kitchen or a fitness centre is located above office premises, for example. The elastic bearing of the floors over an Acoustic Floor Mat or the use of Acoustic Floor Blocks counteracts this problem.

Reduction measures are particularly important during the planning stages of a fitness centre. g-fit by Getzner is a product line based on high-tech elastomers, which are installed in the floor or adapted for fitness equipment. This means that they block disturbing noise and vibrations even before they arise.

Walking on stairs and landings gives rise to impact noise, which generates disruptive noise. The sound produced by the knocking noises made when climbing stairs is easily and efficiently insulated with the Getzner materials Sylomer® and Sylodyn®.

Alongside the direct passage of sound, sound transmission in timber construction is also influenced by the type of joint found between partition walls, side walls, ceilings and structural components; the type of material can also be an important factor. Here it is again a matter of reducing impact noise.

Getzner offers effective products and solutions for mounting ceilings and wall linings. Elastic ceiling hangers reduce the sound transmission from ceilings. Along with the Sylomer® products, Isotop elements (particular combinations of steel springs and Sylomer® bearings) are also used for more effective sound reduction.

The use of sanitary facilities generates noise. This results in disruptive sounds that have a negative impact on the quality of the indoor environment. Effective sound control can be put in place by means of elastic decoupling.

Lifts are used to transport individuals or loads between two or more levels in a moving cabin. During operation, the starting, stopping and general movement of the cabin generates vibrations that are transmitted to the structure of the building and perceived as structure-borne noise.
