Student accommodations can be noisy environments which can disrupt sleep, add to stress, infringe on privacy, and generally compromise quality of life. Achieving a high acoustic performance throughout a building where there are lightweight walls and many social break-out spaces is a task that needs to be done right from the off. As developers and clients are more frequently choosing modern methods of construction, such as off-site and modular building, the need to get the acoustic specifications right has become more important than ever. When designing these types of mixed-use multi-occupancy living, there are a lot of factors that need to be considered at the planning stages to ensure the design brief is met.

Acoustic and thermal insulation products are widely available from suppliers both big and small, but what should buyers look for when choosing a solution? Cellecta’s Ben Banks offers some tips on specifying the most suitable product for your project
