INPACT

SOUND INSULATION BEGINS AT THE DESIGN STAGE

A digital tool developed by Isolgomma to help designers assess the acoustic performance of floor structures and choose the solutions best suited to their project.

INPACT

ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE, BUILT IN FROM THE START

Each floor structure requires a solution suited to its build-up and the acoustic performance objectives of the project. INPACT assists designers in assessing impact noise and sound insulation performance, making it easier to identify the Isolgomma solutions best suited to their project.
Based on the construction details of the floor structure, the software allows users to configure the build-up, compare different solutions and estimate their acoustic performance.

TWO ACOUSTIC PERFORMANCE INDICATORS, ONE FLOOR BUILD-UP

Impact noise

Assess the weighted impact sound pressure level (Lₙ,w) of your chosen floor build-up and the effect of the selected impact noise insulation system.

Sound reduction index

Estimate the weighted sound reduction index (Rᵥ) of the floor structure based on its build-up and the components selected.

CONFIGURE YOUR FLOOR BUILD-UP TO SUIT YOUR PROJECT

INPACT lets you assess different types of construction and configure the floor build-up to suit the specific requirements of your project.

The configuration may include under-screed solutions, floor finishes, service levelling layers, underfloor heating and suspended ceilings, providing a more accurate picture of the overall floor build-up.

FROM PROJECT DATA TO PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT IN JUST A FEW STEPS

INPACT

A guided process, from input data to performance assessment

INPACT guides designers through configuring the floor build-up and assessing the acoustic performance of the chosen solution.

  • 1
    Configure the floor structure
    Choose the construction type and define the elements that make up the floor build-up.
  • 2
    Select your solution
    Add the Isolgomma impact noise insulation system and configure any additional elements, from the screed to the suspended ceiling.
  • 3
    Assess the acoustic performance
    View the results for impact noise and the sound reduction index of your configured floor build-up.

Clear results to compare different solutions

Impact noise

View the floor structure’s impact noise performance using the weighted impact sound pressure level (Lₙ,w).

Sound reduction index

Assess the floor build-up’s airborne sound insulation performance using the weighted sound reduction index (Rᵥ).

International acoustic ratings

Compare performance using different acoustic rating indices, depending on the applicable standards.

BUILT ON ISOLGOMMA’S EXPERTISE

INPACT draws on the expertise developed through Isolgomma’s laboratory research into the acoustic performance of building systems.
This wealth of knowledge and experience has been brought together in a tool designed to support designers from the earliest stages of assessment.

Note: INPACT’s performance estimates are based on a simplified calculation model and are intended as a guide only. The results provide support during the design process and should be reviewed by the appointed technical professional in light of the specific conditions of each project.
