SOUND INSULATION OF BUILDING STRUCTURES IN SLOVAKIA

Sound insulation properties of building structures are involved in the formation of acoustic comfort in architectural environments. For this reason, it must correspond to the appropriate design of material compositions separating structures in direct relation to their acoustic properties, construction details and their location in the structural system of the building. Over the years there have been several changes in legislative documents for living and working environment. Building practice, investors and especially tenants in recent years strongly expressed the need for changes or modifications to certain provisions of the exposed standard STN 73 0532. It is important to clearly define the sources of noise, the definition of protected rooms in buildings for insulation continuity of structures, including quantification of flanking sound transmission. Precisely these factors are the most important part of the STN 73 0532/2013. This article has been elaborated with the support of the agency VEGA no. 1/0358/13.
