News, Products, Services Impact sound solution Saint-Gobain launches CPD Series Saint-Gobain, the leader in the sustainable habitat and construction market, is launching a new series of RIBA-approved CPD seminars. The CPD’s will be hosted at the Saint-Gobain Innovation Centre in central London, giving easy access to a wide range of topics and building on the centre’s already busy programme of events related to sustainable buildings. The recent refurbishment and loft conversion at Lairhilock Lodge required a solution for the floors where impact sound was kept to a minimum. KW Contractors Ltd consulted with SIG Insulation in Aberdeen, who recommended Profloor Ecoroll and Profloor Ecoroll Adhesive, supplied by the A Proctor Group. Profloor Ecoroll provided a cost effective solution to improve the impact sound insulation. Up to 22dB Lw can be achieved by Ecoroll when used with soft covering. Profloor Ecoroll is easy to install, simply roll out and bond to the existing floor surface. It also satisfies the requirements, on a concrete floor, for a bonded resilient floor covering and is an excellent vibration damper. From September 2014 and continuing throughout 2015, the seminars will be free to attend for architects, designers and industry professionals.
