Please note, the success of any acoustic system, will depend entirely on the construction of the existing building and finishing detail, to the extent that we can not
guarantee the level of noise reduction that will actually be achieved. It is the clients responsibility to check the quantities of acoustic materials ordered are correct as
shortages will have to be paid for separately and to check with Local Building Control on actual testing requirements.
