Buildtec Acoustics: Ensuring Tranquility at Quarry Heights Social Housing Development

Project Overview

Buildtec Acoustics is proud to have played a vital role in the Quarry Heights social housing development in Newtownards, Northern Ireland. This substantial project, a collaborative effort between Dunlop Homes, and Ark Housing, delivered new homes for the local community, comprising a mix of 10 houses and 13 apartments.

Project Details

Quarry Heights represents a significant investment in modern social housing for Newtownards. The development features a variety of housing options, with 10 houses and 13 apartments, all designed with a focus on contemporary living and resident comfort. In social housing developments where multiple families reside in close proximity, effective soundproofing is crucial for a peaceful living environment.

Acoustic Considerations in Social Housing

Uncontrolled noise transmission within and between units can disrupt daily life and negatively impact resident well-being in social housing projects. Buildtec Acoustics understands the importance of creating a tranquil living environment for all.

The Buildtec Acoustics Solution

Dunlop Homes worked with Buildtec Acoustics who supplied Isolgomma Uproll 9mm acoustic underlay throughout the Quarry Heights development.

Isolgomma is a high-performance solution specifically designed to effectively reduce impact noise transmission in multi-unit dwellings.

This product solution offers Impact sound reduction of up to 24 dB.

Benefits of Isolgomma Acoustic Underlay

• Superior Soundproofing: Isolgomma's exceptional performance in dampening impact noise helps create a quieter and more serene living environment for residents. This minimizes noise disruption from daily activities within the apartments.
• Improved Floor Performance: Isolgomma provides a stable and level subfloor, enhancing the overall performance and longevity of the finished flooring.
• Efficient Installation: The user-friendly format of Isolgomma allows for a quick and efficient installation process, minimizing disruption to the overall project timeline.

Conclusion

The Quarry Heights project exemplifies Buildtec Acoustics' commitment to supporting social housing initiatives. By utilizing Isolgomma acoustic underlay, Buildtec played a key role in ensuring optimal soundproofing for each of the new homes.

This contributes significantly to the overall success of the Quarry Heights development and the well-being of its future residents.
