EFFECT ON THE TRANSMISSION OF INDOOR NOISE Measurements of indoor noise on clay/cement mix floor in laboratory according to UNI EN ISO 140-6 The experimentation began in May 2009 regarding the study of acoustic performance obtained with a radiant floor system realised with sandwich isolating panel, made up of a combination of materials. The purpose of the research was to find the combination of materials that allowed to optimise not only the heat performance of radiant floors but also the acoustic lowering of indoor noise. The entire experimentation lead to the development of the floor heating radiant system. RESEARCH PROJECT The research project, run inside the acoustic measurement laboratory was performed buy the Dipartimento di Fisica Tecnica of the University of Padua. The floor selected for the experiment is a clay/cement mix floor with suppression of lateral transmissions. The normalised indoor noise measurements are made in agreement with the part 6 of the UNI EN ISO 140 Standard. This document states the main considerations bases on the results obtained during the measurements, performed on the coupled product. The effect of the floor surface finishing was also evaluated in the measurements of indoor noise in the laboratory (keeping the floor packet constant), via measurements on non-covered concrete screed, on floating parquet floor laid dry and on ceramic tiles.

The ground-bearing floor in sand and cement was cast over the radiant system, complete with pipes filled with water at the working pressure, for a total of 65 mm. After three weeks from laying, the first measurement was taken on the unfinished floor. The dry floating parquet floor was the laid and the indoor noise was measured again. Finally, after the removal of the wooden covering, ceramic tiles were laid using traditional concrete glue and a new measurement was taken. The entire procedure was performed over the period of one month. The measurements relative to the bare floor were taken at the start and end of the entire experimentation. 2
The radiant system was installed on the lightened cement screed and double-flap polyethylene perimeter strips were applied in proximity of the edges of the test frame, making sure to turn the upper flap over the panel. The ground-bearing floor in sand and cement was cast over the radiant system, complete with pipes filled with water at the working pressure, for a total of 65 mm (45 mm over pipe). After three weeks from laying of the cement screed the first measurement was taken on the bare cement screed before the covering was laid. Successively, the dry floating parquet floor is laid and the indoor noise must be measured again. Finally, after the removal of the wooden covering, ceramic tiles were laid using traditional concrete glue and a new measurement was taken. 3
RESULTS On the basis of the data obtained, the normalised indoor noise level has been calculated L n [db] along with the evaluation index L nw [db] for each of the configurations being examined. The L nw values obtained, also in relation to the reference measurement on the bare floor, are given in table 1.

COMPARISON BETWEEN SURFACE FINISHINGS Figure 1 represents the spectral data of the normalised indoor noise relative to the measurements on bare concrete screed, with floating parquet floor laid dry on ceramic tiles, for the set-up tested, compared with the bare floor. Figure 1 material: measurements on bare cement screed, on floating parquet floor and on ceramic tiles. system - Indoor noise levels on clay-cement mix floor BARE FLOOR SCREED DRY PARQUET CERAMICS Frequency [Hz] The results show good functioning of the impact sound material under the screed, which allows to reduce noise on the entire frequency interval examined. The attenuation increases with the frequency, even if a resonance area is present in correspondence with 1600 2000 Hz, with a probable influence on the mechanical and construction features of the type of clay/cement mix floor analysed. Dry floating parquet floor Regarding the effect of the surface finish, the presence of wooden parquet (laid dry on an uncoupling layer in corrugated cardboard, without gluing) greatly attenuates the indoor noise on the entire spectrum. The reason for such a marked improvement must be attributed, as well as to the uncoupling of the finish, to the type of blow that takes place between metal hammers of the normalised generator of impact and the wooden surface. The resonance in correspondence of 2000 Hz is present in a much less accentuated form and not very significant regarding global performance. In must be highlighted that if the parquet is glued directly to the screed, the noise levels should settle around the values detected in the other set-ups. Ceramics With the ceramic finishing the covering leaves the general of the system more or less unvaried, with an increase of the evaluation index of 1 db, to be attributed to a slight increase of levels in the 400 Hz-2000 Hz interval. 5

your OEM Partner -37 db Description Insulation plate tacker panel Flat-db made of expanded polystyrene grades EPS with graphite, declared thermal conductivity λ: 0,030 W/mK (EN 13163; EN 12667). The insulation panel is coated on the underside with a granulated SBR-rubber sheat to give exceptional acoustic performances. The system was tested fully installed in laboratory, including pipes perimetral strip, and concrete, and tested compling to EN ISO 140-6. To the insulation panel has been certified an acoustical step noise insulation DL w of -37dB compliant to EN ISO 717-2. The upper side of the panel is laminated with high tear-resistant fabric-reinforced foil made of aluminized polyethylene (DIN EN 1264-4), with printed grid spacing 50 mm. The foil is one side overlapped appr. 30 mm to allow a safe junction of the boards and avoid concrete infiltration.
