The acoustic performance of a composite slab is a function of both the mass of the slab and the floor and ceiling finishes applied. Robust Standard Details are available to provide performance in accordance with Building Regulations Part E utilising a number of different finishes for both the ceiling and floor. The detailing of such finishes is key to provide the acoustic performance required.


Refer to SCI-P322 Acoustic Performance of Composite Floors for more information

Refer to SCI P-336 Acoustic Detailing of Multi Storey Residential Buildings for more information

Refer to SCI P-372 Acoustic Detailing for Steel Construction for more information


For guidance relating to the acoustic performance of a bare composite slab, contact SMD Technical Team. It should be noted that for more extensive guidance, an acoustic specialist may be required.
