Part E (resistance to passage of sound) of
the Building Regulations (England and Wales) Section 5: Internal walls and floors for new buildings, requires a minimum floor mass per unit area. For T beam and block the floor mass is 220kg/m2.
Robust Details are construction solutions which provide an alternative to pre-completion sound testing as a method of complying with Part E (resistance to the passage of sound) of the Building Regulations (England and Wales). Stowell concrete products enable builders to meet these regulations – provided the correct treatments are followed – when constructing new-build attached dwellings, flats and apartments.
A synopsis of the construction treatments is provided above, with full details available from Robust Details Ltd (telephone 0870 240 8209 or
