Development and testing of the MIDDAS<\/a> flagship, M100 bi-panel system<\/a> continues at a relentless pace with the latest focus being sound insulation performance.<\/p>\n MIDDAS<\/a> recently carried out laboratory sound insulation testing, in accordance with BS EN ISO 10140-1:2016 & BS EN ISO 10140-2: 2010, at The Building Research Establishment (BRE)<\/a> – the world’s leading building science centre.<\/p>\n Over a two-day intensive testing programme, the M100 solid partition wall<\/a> was put through its paces in the acoustic testing laboratory at BRE, with nine separate configurations squeezed into the available test time.<\/p>\n Results ranged from 40dB Rw for the 100mm, uninsulated-cavity system, to 58dB Rw for the 200mm, insulated-cavity system incorporating the newly developed lightweight, split-stud.<\/p>\n The standard 100mm, 60minute fire rated version of the M100 system, with insulated-cavity achieved 47dB Rw with the 200mm, 120minute fire rated product wowing us all at 55dB Rw.<\/p>\n Another great result came from the 100mm M100 with new lightweight stud and low density, insulated-cavity option, breaking through the 50 mark at 51dB Rw.<\/p>\n Further testing is scheduled for February 2019 with the focus switching to the glazed iterations of the M100 system<\/a>.<\/p>\n Full product and performance details can be obtained by contacting our Trevor Drummond<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Development and testing of the MIDDAS flagship, M100 bi-panel system continues at a relentless pace with the latest focus being sound insulation performance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":2963,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[15,18,21,8,11,14],"tags":[],"table_tags":[],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"\n
