Part E of the building regulations sets out the soundproofing standards for new builds and conversions. The aim is to reduce unwanted noise and sound transmission between dwellings.
To comply with Part E building regulations, a combination of acoustic products must be installed on separating floors to achieve the desired impact and airborne sound levels.
Failure to incorporate adequate soundproofing into the design stage of any build could cost thousands of pounds to rectify. This is because Building Control requires evidence that all new homes, refurbishments, and conversions comply with Part E.
