Underscreed Insulation

When insulation is positioned under the screed, we are typically operating within the framework of a “designed” solution, whether referring to new construction or renovation.

Underscreed insulation is still the most frequently used method of insulating horizontal partitions from impact noise and that the passive acoustic requirements of the Implementing. Underscreed structures are characterized by the thickness of the screed itself. The concept at the basis of this subdivi- sion arises from the idea of the system itself, which in turn is based on the operating method of an acoustically performing structure. The elastic material, in order to ensure the expected performance, must be chosen according to the loads to which the system is subjected. Consequently, a key discriminating factor will be the type, weight, and thickness of the screed in the structure.
