Welcome
"Regulation E success made easy "
Sound Solution Ltd acoustic solutions is a one stop soundproofing resource aimed at helping both professionals and non professionals achieve regulation E in predominantly timber floored conversion constructions.
We specify a range of materials which are aimed at meeting the new approved document E regulations which came into force in 2003. We cater for a number of different scenarios depending on access restrictions. All our systems have been thoroughly tested by the individual manufacturer and have supporting test data.
Regulation E continues to present problems to architects, specifiers and the local authorities on what is the right solution to install to achieve the regulations.
The result is often "over specification" , put simply specifiers are erring on the side of caution and adding too much material. This means that regulation E solutions are costing more than they should and that there is often far more floor height build up than there should be.
Our soundproofing solutions aim to minimise both cost and the amount of floor height build out where ever possible.

- To achieve regulation E you are normally required to work on both ceiling and floor.
- The test involves impact and airborne sound generation you are required to beat the minimum threshold targets. Testing typically costs £750+vat. However at Uk soundproofing UK we can offer testing at £650.
- For simplicity we recommend the isosonic hanger system which normally means leaving your existing ceiling in place.
- An independent ceiling with new joists and resilient bars can obviate the need for working on the floor
- Tri deck can obviate the need for working on the ceiling provided it is lathe and plaster or double boarded.
