Description of the project

The Getzner solution

Getzner produced and installed impact noise installations for heavilyused loors during the renovation of
the Hotel Alte Post in Arzl, Tyron. The
renovation included the constructionof an addition to the supermarket
MPREIS, towards the front of the building.

Construction Mat provides eficiency:
a thin underlayment that provides ahigh degree of impact noise insulation.

he inished building complex willcontain a restaurant, a dental surgery, a cosmetic studio and private dwellings, in addition to the supermarket.
The varied usage of the complex created the requirement for a special typeof noise insulation. Getzner provided
resilient materials to reduce both structure-borne noise and secondary airborne noise over the 2500 m2 usable
loor space.

T"The opening date was non-negotiable,
which meant all work had to be completed before deadline day. Therefore, it
was even more critical that we not only
found an effective solution, but also apartner with the necessary experienceto implement it. This is what drew us toGetzner,“ explains Ingrid Heinz, spokeswoman for MPREIS.

he quality of Getzner's product , thesimplicity of the Getzner solution,and their consultation services led toexcellent reviews of Getzner in the Hotel
Alte Post project. The Getzner Construction Mat has been specially designed forheavily-used loors in industrial andcommercial premises and meets highnoise insulation requirements. Construction Mat effectively damps the high noise levels caused by walking or travelingover the loor through effective decoupling of the loor slabs. The operation

Tof machinery or equipment, or the movement of clusters of people generates
noise and vibrations that can be disruptive to other users of the building.
A single elastic layer of Construction
Mat, 16mm (0.63") thick compliedwith the project speciications, including the high impact noise insulating
requirements for the project. Comparable products on the market are only
capable of delivering the same effect if
installed in multiple layers. The single
layer construction of Getzner'sConstruction Mat allowed for a thinnerinished loor build-up, and accelerated
installation times. Both aspects have apositive impact on construction progress and costs – and not just in Arzl.

Feedback
The entire shop loor, stockroom andpart of the restaurant – an area totaling
800 m2 – have been itted with
Getzner's impact noise insulation solution - Construction Mat. Staff from Getzner were on site during the installation
to provide expert advice and support.
Tailor-made planning, punctually
delivered
Alongside elastic materials, Getzner isalso a source of extensive technicaladvice on vibration isolation. "Withevery project we undertake, we analyze
exactly what the customer wants andneeds in order to work with them indeveloping the right solution. To verify

the effectiveness of the actions taken,
we also assist the project with repeat
noise measurements. A major challenge in the Alte Post project was that all
the stipulated work had to be completed by the opening date.
Thanks to excellent coordination andseamless interaction with the othercontractors on site, we were able tomeet the required deadline. Regularconstruction meetings as well as theperfectly arranged delivery and installation of the material undoubtedly contributed to the successful conclusionof the project,“ summarized project
manager Lothar Säly.

“The experts from Getzner provided
valuable input and were on hand tolend their support during the installation process. By completing everything
to schedule we were able to open thebuilding on time in November 2013”,
reported Ing. Harald Stoll from construction supervisors Stoll Wohnen
Bau GmbH in Arzl.
