Protect people from noise with high-quality acoustic solutions
Excessive noise is the number one source of frustration for 76% of the world’s population. It can also cause irreversible damage. Armacell’s technical insulation solutions enable you to take your acoustic control BEYOND BETTER to mitigate noise, improve productivity and enhance your standard of living.
Learn all about acoustic control in our whitepaper
Solving acoustic challenges requires correctly identifying the source of noise and understanding how it spreads, and the solutions available to control it. How do you isolate the different types of sound types– and how do you deal with them? Find out by reading our whitepaper.
Taking acoustic control Beyond Better
Watch the video below to discover how Armacell’s technical insulation solutions go Beyond Better, to deliver the ultimate in noise reduction and acoustic comfort.
Noise is the 2nd biggest environmental contributor to health problems
Over 430 million people are affected by hearing loss today. That’s one in twenty people – and the problem will only get worse over time. By 2050, it is estimated that more than 700 million people – or one in every ten – will suffer disabling hearing loss.
The effects of noise disturbance.
Noise is the #1 source of annoyance for 76% of the world's population.
Excessive noise can lead to frustration and require potential lifestyle changes to accommodate living with noise.
One in twenty people is affected by hearing loss today.
As many as 5.5% of the world's population has inner ear damage today. This will worsen to one in ten people with disabling hearing loss in 2050.
20% find noise from areas like sanitary fittings annoying.
When this happens at night, it can disturb sleep, reduce productivity and lead to potential health problems.
The smallest detail can have significant consequences.
1 in 10 people will suffer from disabling hearing loss by 2050
Exposure to loud sounds damages the inner ear structures that are vital for hearing. This damage is permanent and irreversible, but noise-induced hearing loss can be prevented, for example, through hearing conservation programmes and workplace safety measures.
Unwanted noise disturbs sleep and affects productivity
Many people find their sleep disturbed, and consequently their quality of life is affected. Studies show that 20% of residents are bothered by noise from sanitary fittings, especially at night, and that 30% agree that such noises should not be audible.
Why you should consider acoustic insulation as early as possible
Due to rapid urban and industrial development, residential zones can be located near loud areas, such as construction sites or transportation hubs. Therefore, a noise reduction strategy should always be part of any early design phase, providing an overview of the insulation solutions that are required to successfully mitigate noise disturbances.
ARMACOMFORT - ENJOY THE SILENCE
Excessive noise has short- and long-term repercussions. Armacell's range of commercial acoustic solutions include open-cell elastomeric foam for superior sound absorption, mass-loaded noise barriers and acoustic tape to reduce noise, improve comfort and focus.
ARMASOUND - INNOVATIVE NOISE CONTROL
ArmaSound is an outstanding hybrid based on the ArmaFlex product suite that delivers both thermal insulation and noise reduction performance in one solution. Standardised systems meet ISO 15665 classifications and bespoke solutions address specific thermal and acoustic project challenges.
ARMAGEL - NEXT GENERATION INSULATION
ArmaGel is a silica aerogel insulation blanket compliant with ASTM C1728. Available in 5mm, 10mm, 15mm and 20mm, Armacell's range of ArmaGel products offers greater choice and superior acoustic insertion loss at reduced thickness and weight compared to conventional acoustic insulation systems.
