High-rise buildings, office buildings, and residential buildings are being equipped with an increasing number of installations. This brings with it acoustic discomfort associated with noise. The construction market is changing dynamically. Consumers expect modern solutions that will allow for increasing the standards of rooms and the comfort of their use.
From the article you will learn:

Why are we exposed to noise from installations?
Noise coming from the installation, especially water and sewage, can cause great discomfort and irritation to people in the building. There are many examples of improperly designed installations that reduce the prestige of the building and the interest of potential customers.
Errors related to improper soundproofing of installations are particularly noticeable in old buildings that are not adapted to current standards . They can also be noticed in modern buildings, where contractors did not take care of innovative solutions that allow for higher quality of use. We can notice improper installation mounting through noises coming from behind the wall in the form of flushing water or its drainage. User needs are constantly increasing, so it is worth taking care to expand your services and knowledge in the field of soundproofing installations in buildings.

How to eliminate noise from installations?
Noise coming from existing water and sewage installations can be efficiently reduced by using proper installation. In this case, you should use lining clamps , which will easily muffle uncomfortable noises.
The cladding clamp should provide a small amount of flexibility, allowing for the maintenance of appropriate acoustics in the building. The material used in it allows for the suppression of unwanted vibrations, and thus significantly reduces oscillatory movements. As a result, vibrations will not be transferred from the clamp to individual structural parts, such as walls, ceiling or floor.
What products should be used to soundproof the installation?
There are many types of clamps. This results from the proper selection of the clamp depending on the temperature of the medium flowing in the pipes, the environment in which the installation is to operate and the material from which the pipe is made. The design must always be adapted to the investor's requirements.
BISMAT mounting clamp
The BISMAT fixing clamp is a high-quality product, adapted to fixing risers. It worked by fixing one part of the clamp, while the other part adheres to the pipe wall. The internal EPDM lining is resistant to ageing and provides full sound insulation. The clamp can be used with a console for vertical pipes.

Types of Walraven cladding
The choice of lining material determines the quality of the entire clamp. To ensure proper vibration and noise damping, the material must be highly resistant to aging - the lining must remain flexible to effectively absorb vibrations.
The choice of lining also depends on the material the pipe is made of and the temperature of the medium flowing in it.
Walraven has 3 types of facings:
Black EPDM lining
The black lining is made of EPDM material. It is suitable for fixing pipes made of steel or plastic PE and PP. The EPDM material is free of chlorine and is also resistant to ageing. EPDM is not susceptible to fire, in accordance with DIN 4102 - class B2. On the inside, the rubber is formed in the shape of ribs, ensuring stable fixing of the pipe and no movement in the clamp.
Green EPDM cladding
Designed for mounting plastic pipes. The inner part of the rubber has been finished smoothly, which allows the plastic pipe to slide . This construction of the lining prevents the pipe from being pushed out during operation and damaging it.
Red lining
It has a special application. It is made of silicone, which makes it resistant to high temperatures - up to 200°C . It is an ideal solution for mounting installations with a hot medium. The red lining perfectly insulates sounds and is resistant to aging. Choose it if you are looking for durable products with high resistance to external factors.
