The comfort of a building is not only something you see, it is also something you can hear. Or rather, it is also the absence of noise<\/strong> that defines the quality of a space.<\/p>

At Project For Building, our move into the world of acoustics did not happen by chance, but as a natural evolution of our core mission: constant research into recycled plastic and rubber for sustainable construction<\/strong>.<\/p>

This positive cycle of material regeneration has developed into one of the highest-performing ranges on the market: <\/span>the DAMP system<\/b><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Insulation is not just a technical factor, it is residential wellbeing.<\/p>

Designing for silence means improving quality of life, sleep and concentration.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>

We applied our \u201cvirtuous circle\u201d of <\/span>material recycling <\/b><\/a>to create solutions that not only respect the environment, but also guarantee excellent performance.<\/span><\/p>

Our research led us to develop a formula in which regenerated material is not a compromise, but the secret behind superior elastic mass.<\/p>

Made from recycled tyres and noble polymers, it is able to dampen vibrations<\/strong> that traditional materials cannot stop.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Building acoustic regulations, mainly governed by Prime Ministerial Decree of 5 December 1997, establish the minimum insulation requirements that different types of buildings must meet<\/p>

But there is more: the acoustic classification of buildings<\/strong> (according to UNI 11367<\/strong>) makes it possible to assign a \u201crating\u201d to a building, similar to an energy class. A Class 1 building not only offers superior comfort, but also gains greater property value.<\/p>

The DAMP System is designed precisely to help designers achieve these high-performance classes<\/strong>, turning a regulatory requirement into a competitive advantage.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Conscious design makes the difference. People often search online for \u201csoundproof panels\u201d meaning the ones hung in restaurants to reduce echo. Those are sound-absorbing panels.<\/p>

The DAMP System, on the other hand, works on the structure itself. We do not intervene when the noise is already in the room: we act at the core of walls and floors during construction or renovation<\/strong> to physically prevent the passage of sound and vibrations.<\/p>

Real insulation is designed, not hung.<\/p>

But installation is not complex: download <\/span>the DAMPWALL AR technical data sheet<\/span><\/a> to find out how to insulate partition walls.<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

For an acoustic system to work properly, installation is just as important<\/strong> as the material itself. Here are two key precautions of the DAMP System:<\/p>

  1. Continuity of the material: when installing the acoustic underlay (e.g. <\/span>Damptile<\/span><\/i><\/a>), it is essential to turn the mat up along the perimeter walls using the specific edge strip in order to avoid \"acoustic bridges\".<\/span><\/li>
  2. Sealing of the joints: the boards or rolls of the DAMP System must be perfectly butted together and sealed with technical adhesive tape in order to prevent \"sound leakage\".<\/li><\/ol>

    In this regard, you can consult <\/span>the DAMPTILE installation manual <\/span><\/a>for the correct sealing of the joints<\/span><\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

    We do not just sell panels, we provide integrated solutions<\/strong>. The strength of Project For Building lies in the complete synergy between the technical team, production and sales.<\/p>

    Our technical department is in constant dialogue with production to refine materials and with the sales team to respond to the real challenges of construction sites.<\/p>

    This means that, by choosing DAMP, you will always have direct technical support capable of recommending the perfect build-up<\/strong> for your specific insulation goal.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
