Ventilation and The Building Regulations Part E
Easy Peasy!
How to give your clients a quiet life but still maintain aesthetic
appearance in all types of buildings.
The number of official noise related complaints has increased more
than 300% over the last few years, making them the majority of
complaints to local authorities. Approximately 4,000,000 people in
Britain feel they suffer from noisy neighbours and almost a quarter
of occupants of dwellings rate their privacy as poor or very poor as
a result of inadequate sound insulation. The amount of brown field
sites is also growing with residential developments very close to
railway lines, motorways, airports and industrial estates.
But how do you get adequate ventilation into a building with minimum
noise transmission?
There are now ventilation products available to help you meet the
requirements of The Building Regulations Approved Document E
Resistance to the passage of sound. However one manufacturer, Rytons
Building Products Ltd, believe it shouldn’t be necessary to
sacrifice the appearance of the building, or the provision of
effective and vital ventilation under Part F of The Building
Regulations Means of ventilation, in order to meet these
requirements. As a result Rytons have designed and manufactured
acoustic versions of their popular 125mm and 150mm Diameter AirCore®
Ventilators, '9x3' AirLiners®, '9x6' AirLiners® and '9x9 AirLiners®
that appear exactly as normal from the outside and to the occupier
of the building, but in fact hide an intricate and efficient system
of acoustic panels and foam which greatly reduce the amount of sound
transferred by up to 42 dB.
Not only is there a variety of styles and sizes, but also a wide
range of colours as standard and a choice of suitable fitments for
the inside i.e. adjustable Hit & Miss Vent for background venting or
fixed open Louvre Vent for appliance and general venting – ensuring
the safety of the building’s occupants whilst still improving levels
of sound insulation between one building and another, and within
buildings. One type can even be retro-fitted entirely from the
inside of the building – ideal for existing high rise situations.
Rytons Acoustic Vents have the appearance
of standard through-wall ventilators from the outside. However,
Rytons don’t just expect you to just take their word for it. A large
proportion of their acoustic range is British Board of Agrément
approved (only new products pending approval), all acoustic products
have been fully tested by the Building Research Establishment with
comprehensive test data freely available, and the original
Telescopic Acoustic AirLiner® received an Innovation Award from the
BBA when it was launched in 2002. Those acoustic ventilators within
Rytons range that can be used to ventilate heat producing appliances
have also undergone testing by Advantica and the BRE to
BS5440-2:2000 and been accredited with a calculated Equivalent Free
Area.
Most major house builders including Charles Church Developments,
Countryside Properties, Bryant Homes Social Housing, Bellway Homes,
Barratt Homes and Redrow Homes have used Rytons acoustic
ventilators. They have also been successfully installed in many
non-domestic situations including City Airport Travelodge, London
E16 and Tesco’s Store, Islington Green, London N1. They have even
travelled further afield such as a private project for a resident of
New York who was so impressed with one he encountered in his Dublin
hotel on a visit that he ordered one over the internet upon his
return home!
These products are just some of the latest in an ever-expanding
range from Rytons – all manufactured in the UK. Most forms of
domestic construction ventilation are available including Slim
Vents® for effective and essential timber frame cavity ventilation,
Rytweeps® and Weep Hole Ducts for drainage of interstitial
condensation and Periscope® Underfloor vents for the ventilation of
sub floor voids. Rytons wide selection of Louvre and Hit & Miss
vents are now available in VO rated Flame Retardant material to help
prevent the spread of fire. Most of Rytons products for external use
are UV stabilised to ensure sunlight and weather exposure does not
affect the appearance or durability of the ventilators for decades
to come.
Rytons web site www.vents.co.uk contains the 2008 editions of Rytons
Products Guides for free download plus over 100 technical data
sheets that include full product specification, dimensional
drawings, accredited test data, colour photographs, NBS Plus
listings as well as frequently asked questions and answers.
Alternatively product information can be sent by email, fax or post.
Technical specifications for Rytons products are now also listed on
NBS Plus, part of the NBS industry standard specification software
used by architects, building surveyors and other construction
industry professionals.
