Sound Absorbing Spray Foam System

What is noise?

Sound is such a common part of everyday life that we often overlook II that it can do. It provides enjoyment, for example through listening to music or bird-song. It allows spoken communication. It can alert or warn us, say through a door-bell, or wailing siren. In engineering it can tell us when something has slightly changed, like in a squeaking car.

Yet in a modern society sound often annoys us. Many sounds are unpleasant or unwanted, and this is classed as noise.

The Solution

The Capital system is the ONLY sound absorbing spray foam in the World. It represents a truly effective solution to noise escaping and getting in.

Transport Noise
Social Noise
Industrial Noise
Noise in the Sea

Superior insulation

You can upgrade the thermal performance of a property to meet Building Regulations without the need for expensive, disruptive external cladding. This gives energy savings and reduced C02 emissions. And because polyurethane expanding foams mould themselves into the fabric of a building, they seal out draughts and reduce air leakage

UK Legislation

U.K. noise legislation is mainly contained in the Control of Pollution Act 1974 (Part III) and the Environmental Protection Act 1990 (Part II). These acts give district councils (through their Environmental Health Officers) responsibility to determine whether noise nuisance exists and powers to protect citizens from noise by a variety of means, including the designation of Noise Abatement Zones and the serving of Noise Abatement orders.

Local Authorities

Planning and Highway Authorities are required to have regard to potential noise when considering planning applications or planning new development - for example, new roads. Before granting planning permission, they may require applicants to enter into agreements controlling hours of working or methods of operation in order to prevent noise nuisance. Mineral workings and waste disposal sites are particularly relevant in this respect.

Conclusion

Private individuals and companies will increasingly seek ways of controlling noise pollution.

Case Study

A skate boarding track located in a highly populated residential area.

Problem

To reduce airborne and impact noise pollution which is generated by skateboarders on new, purpose-built skateboards ramps. A detailed survey and monitoring of the activity recorded a peak reading of 96dB upon impact by the skaters.

Solution

Capitals new sound absorbing spray foam was applied to to a depth of 50mm on the steel ramps and all other visible surfaces.

Result

After applying Capital's new sound absorbing spray foam a peak reading measured a SPL of 86dB with over six times the amount of activity by the skaters. This coincides with the reverberation test results carried out by Salford University. The measurement of 10dB difference represents a reduction of half the sound energy.

An independent acoustic audit is being carried out and the feedback is that these results are on the conservative side.
