Specialist soil and waste drainage designed to help minimise nuisance noise generated by moving water.
Suitable for waste water drainage services, offering excellent sound insulation, making it particularly suited for use in applications such as care homes, apartments, healthcare facilities and performance spaces.
Friaphon is a purpose-designed sound attenuated drainage system that offers excellent sound insulation, making it an ideal solution for use in care homes, apartments and hospitals.
This dual layer PVC-U system is designed to cater for above ground soil and waste needs as well as internal rainwater service applications.
Friaphon pipe is manufactured by dual-forming two materials of different density. This Friaphon Dual Technology, with a mineral reinforced outer PVC layer, guarantees the excellent sound insulation and airborne sound reduction properties of the system by partially reflecting sound along the boundary layers to absorb it using the pipe’s mass.
The easy push-fit jointing method means straightforward and efficient installation with less material requirements. This provides a significant installed-cost benefit compared with a cast-iron alternative.
