Green Schools Building with Green Building Materials

Better acoustic performance that costs you less

Durisol is affordable, green – and it can help you meet the current sound insulation requirements of Building Bulletin 93.

With acoustic values as low as 63dB, Durisol Green Building Materials are ideal for creating and separating spaces for classrooms and other learning areas:

• Improves sound insulation between classrooms, exceeding the dB rating required by Building Control
• Improves sounds absorption in corridors, entrance halls and stairwells
• Reduces reverberation in teaching and study areas

"Fabulous... There’s no echo, even in such a lofty, open area, which is particularly good for younger children’s classrooms as it adds to the comfort of the space and allows for calm and quiet as well as discussion and play."
Karen Crutchfield, Head Teacher of Caen Community Primary School

How Durisol measures up with building control
When the building inspectors paid a visit to Atlantic Developments’ recently completed Ilfracombe apartments, Durisol’s acoustic performance was found to be so extraordinary that sound testing was repeated. The initial findings confirmed, Durisol came in at 61 dB against a requirement of 45 dB. Click here to download the recent sound tests at our project in Ilfracombe.
