Impact sound insulation

Peace and quiet is a fundamental human need which stands for a high degree of living comfort, especially within your own four walls. However, this can quickly be disrupted by noise from neighbouring rooms or the stair enclosure. One of the causes is impact sound which occurs when walking on a floor or stairs.

This is aptly demonstrated by the video on the right-hand side.

Schöck Tronsole® impact sound insulation elements effectively isolate stairs from adjacent structural components to ensure efficient impact sound insulation. Collectively, the individual product types of the Schöck Tronsole® range make up a soundproofing system and can be easily combined for any application. You can therefore take all connection and joint areas of the stairs into account in the planning phase with the Schöck Tronsole®. And the risk of sound bridges forming during installation is minimised.

However, soundproofing requirements are not just exclusive to stairs. Since 2018, balconies have had to comply with the minimum requirements of the building regulations.  In addition to performing a structural function, the Schöck Isokorb® load-bearing thermal insulation element also has an impact sound attenuating effect. The reliable impact sound characteristic values of the Isokorb® have been tested according to the new standardised testing methods to EAD 050001-01-0301 (adopted). An EAD (European Assessment Document) outlines the principles for granting European Technical Approvals (ETA). The new impact sound characteristic values give you a reliable basis for planning impact sound protection in balconies.
