This is why REHAU has developed a unique product which combines thermal comfort and acoustic comfort during the installation of underfloor heating and cooling: the RAUPUR ACOUSTIC insulating plate. The 3 mm thin acoustic underlay (SCAM) is integrated directly under the classic REHAU sheet made of RAUPUR polyurethane. The weight remains light, the plate manageable and the reservation height unchanged.
As one of the most efficient products on the market, RAUPUR ACOUSTIC provides 23 dB attenuation to impact noises between floors, that is to say mainly noises of footsteps and falling objects.
By going further than the requirements currently demanded in the construction of adjoining collective and individual housing (generally of the order of 20-21 dB of attenuation), RAUPUR ACOUSTIC therefore contributes to user comfort by reducing noise pollution and noise. neighborhood.

The advantage of installing an acoustic underlay is to stifle this noise before it reaches the walls " comments Franck Delaboissière, REHAU technical and sales representative for the Rhône Alpes and Languedoc Roussillon regions.
