Airborne Sound Reduction

Separating walls must provide a minimum level of airborne sound reduction to the amount of noise televisions, speech and telephones etc. may create. When looking at airborne sound reduction results, the higher the performance the better


Ctr Adjusting Factor

(currently applicable in England and Wales only)
Low frequency sound from home entertainment equipment is often present between adjoining properties in a separating wall application.

Therefore a correction factor is taken into account known as ‘+Ctr’. This ensures low frequency airborne noise is reflected in test data and must be considered when selecting a separating wall treatment. All separating walls must provide one hour’s fire protection.
