DINACHOC S801: THE ACOUSTIC SUBFLOOR WITH UNPRECEDENTED QUALITIES

Dinachoc S801

The acoustic ‘behaviour’ of a wooden or laminate floor largely determines client satisfaction or dissatisfaction. In particular, the effects of poor acoustic behaviour have a big impact: If a parquet or laminate floor produces annoying sounds (impact and airborne sounds), that will inevitably render the client permanently dissatisfied. After all, the shortcoming cannot be rectified. And so, floor fitters should not take any risks in terms of sound. They have to persuade clients to invest in that area. The acoustic subfloor Dinachoc S801 means everyone can sleep easily.

Indoor climate and health Indoor climate is a collective name for various factors which can affect health. In particular, the quality of the indoor environment is determined by air quality, temperature, brightness, and acoustics (i.e. the way in which people hear sound in a room).

Acoustic comfort Research has shown that poor acoustics adversely affect speech intelligibility, concentration, and the memory. That leads to poorer

work performances, fatigue, and headaches. Moreover, noise (i.e. unwanted sound) causes irritation, stress, and anxiety. Everyone starts to talk more loudly in order to make themselves heard. This is called the Lombard effect. For clients in care institutions, for example, peace and quiet is a primary requirement. And so, it is no coincidence that project managers are paying more and more attention to the role of acoustics within the health care sector.

Dinachoc brings peace and quiet For both airborne sound and impact sound Dinachoc offers comprehensive solutions to improve the acoustics in a building (home or room) considerably. With a number of certified systems/products, Dinachoc plays a part in the end user’s comfort. Amongst others, we identify Dinachoc D834 on concrete, Dinachoc D840 on sup port beams, Dinachoc D879 on a timber frame, Dinachoc D898 for theatres, cinemas, and discotheques, and, finally, Dinachoc D868 for sports floors.

Dinachoc S801 exceeds expectations As a specialist in acoustic insulation, Dinachoc has put together a highly durable subfloor with exceptional performances. This is the acoustic subfloor DinachocS801 (ΔLw 18dB to ΔLw 22dB) with qualities to surprise anyone. It is easy to fit, pleasant to walk on, and suitable for all floor coverings and on top of floor heating with both high and low temperatures. It is highly resistant to pressure, ecological (100 % recycled product), and healthy (Class A+ and Class E1; VOC).

Simply unique Dinachoc S801 is the sound insulation solution to counter irritating noise which comes from adjoining rooms (often from neighbours) and vice versa. In other words, it counteracts sound which comes in and sound which goes out by absorbing it and stopping it spreading. The secret behind the unique comfort performances is the compo sition of 100% rubber originating from used and recycled car tyres. That means that this insulation is also extremely durable in time. Whilst cork crumbles and decays with age and cardboard or foam sags over time, Dinachoc S801 stays unchanged. Experts recommend Dinachoc S801 for floors and walls.

All sorts of sound The two sorts of sound are coming increasingly under consideration. ‘Airborne sound’ comprises vibrations which are reproduced by the source of sound in the air e.g. the human voice, the radio, music, a running engine, and such like. Airborne sound is transferred to adjoin ing rooms via floors and walls. Airborne sound goes from outdoors to indoors and vice versa. By contrast, ‘impact sound’ is created between materials. In buildings, typical impact sounds include, for instance, footsteps, chair movements, and the sound from hanging up a frame. Dinachoc S801 counteracts both sorts of sound. The subfloor absorbs both footstep sounds and airborne sound and prevents noise from sound boxes. Dinachoc S801 also suppresses sounds as they pass to another room so they become less audible. Moreover, it works excellently on the low tones, which are generally the most irritating.

Glued and floating The company strongly recommends fitting the Dinachoc S801 subfloor. For the best results it is advisable to glue the subfloor with the Dinachoc C901 with a double glueing system. When a floor covering is fitted floating, a subfloor is all the more necessary to avoid a sound box effect which can be created by footsteps. In those cases Dinachoc S801 can provide a solution both floating and glued.

And, of course, ecological through and through Dinachoc S801 meets the standards in every way which people expect of ecological building products. This takes us to the territory of the circular economy. Recuperating and transforming old rubber tyres to use them to make an acoustic subfloor not only avoids waste, but also, moreover, it gives a new life to an existing (but discarded) material. That new material, in turn, can still be recycled for the full 100%. It’s a similar story with the OSB4 panels from Dinachoc. They are produced from sawdust waste from the saw mills. The adhesive Dinachoc 901 is also 100% free of VOC.
