Bathroom, swimming pool and jacuzzi
Sound insulation for sanitary areas – quiet water comfort
Water pipes, drains, cisterns and whirlpools generate a variety of noises that are transmitted through walls and ceilings. To effectively control these noise sources, various acoustically effective materials are used:
- Bitumen or plastic heavy-duty membranes (Terodem® and Teroform®)
Dampen structure-borne noise in pre-wall installations, on drainpipes or behind tiled surfaces. Particularly effective in wet rooms and utility rooms. - PUR recycled foams
Used behind pre-wall installations or in service ducts to absorb sound energy. - Melamine resin foam (Basotect®)
Open-cell, moisture-resistant and flame-retardant – ideal for suspended ceilings or technical cladding. - Polyester fibre fleece (PET)
Dimensionsally stable, water-resistant and odourless – ideal for cavities and partition walls in bathroom fit-outs.
Thermal insulation – save energy, prevent condensation
In bathrooms, swimming pools or jacuzzis, thermal insulation is not only a comfort factor, but also a contribution to energy efficiency and moisture reduction:
- Armaflex®, Vibra®Flex, K-Flex
Closed-cell, water-repellent, flexible – ideal for insulating hot and cold water pipes, the backs of bathtubs, service shafts and basin cladding.
Vibration control – controlling vibrations, protecting the structure
Pumps, whirlpool systems or pool units often generate continuous vibrations that can propagate structurally throughout the building. The result: disruptive structure-borne noise, material fatigue or cracking. Targeted decoupling using high-quality vibration dampers helps here:
- Sylomer® / Sylodyn® (elastomeric bearings)
For vibration decoupling of pumps, technical platforms, bath feet or basin supports – permanently elastic and moisture-resistant. - Rubber-cork mats (Vibra®3D elastomer mat)
Cost-effective and robust – for decoupling whirlpool baths, utility boxes or circulation pumps.
A well-planned insulation concept in bathrooms and wellness areas not only reduces noise but also protects the building structure, enhances comfort and extends the service life of the installations.
