CONTENTS
To what extent does the insertion of an acoustic profile affect the structural performance of a connection?
To provide clear answers – in line with the Rothoblaas approach – an extensive testing campaign was carried out on connections using partially threaded screws (HBS, HBS EVO) and fully threaded connectors (VGZ, VGZ EVO), with resilient profiles of different types and thicknesses inserted in between.

For a complete dataset, comparative tables and the calculation principles applied to the different configurations, see the technical report “Timber joints with resilient profiles”

WHY YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD IT
Soundproofing in timber structures is becoming an increasingly stringent design requirement. As performance standards for multi-storey CLT buildings continue to rise, designers need solutions capable of limiting structure-borne noise transmission, particularly at panel joints.

AUDIENCE
Designers, engineers and professionals in the construction sector looking to integrate effective soundproofing solutions into their projects. Ideal for those who want to calculate down to the last decibel.
