CMS Acoustics Provides a Breath of Fresh Air
Responding to Part F of the Building Regulations and the rise in the development of brown field land, CMS Acoustic Solutions has launched a comprehensive range of acoustic ventilators. Designed to allow fresh air to pass through while providing sound insulation, CMS Acoustic Ventilators are ideal for use near nuisance noise sources such as main roads, railways or airports.
Providing compliance with Building Regulations Approved Document F, CMS Acoustics’ latest product offering includes ‘background’, ‘hit and miss’, ‘cowled’ and ‘acoustic core’ ventilation sets. Manufactured from fully recyclable plastic, the range of through-wall acoustic ventilators offers effective ventilation for new build or refurbishment projects in domestic and small commercial applications.
Offering the most energy efficient form of ventilation, non-mechanical background ventilators allow a controllable amount of fresh air to enter rooms at a continuous and low rate. In areas exposed to high winds, such as high-rise developments, CMS Acoustic Background Ventilators can be specified with an acoustic cowl, preventing damage to the external grille. This also increases the sound insulation achieved by up to 3dB more than a standard background ventilator performance of 36dB and reduces the amount of light and draughts which can pass through.
Where rooms contain a heat-producing appliance, CMS Acoustic Background Ventilators can be treated with a fixed open, flush fitting louvre vent, allowing an unrestricted airflow to reduce the risk of blockage and ensure the safety of the building occupants.
Offering a minimum airborne sound insulation of up to 35dB, CMS Acoustic Hit and Miss ventilators provide an ideal adjustable solution for areas where the amount of air entering a room needs to be manually controlled by the occupant.
David Holder, sales director, CMS Acoustics, comments: “Effective ventilation is key to creating an acceptable living or working environment. CMS Acoustics’ range of ventilators enables compliance with Part F of the Building Regulations, while providing high performance insulation from nuisance noise. As the vents are non-mechanical, CMS Acoustic Ventilators incur no running costs and with basic maintenance they can last indefinitely.”
The latest product offering from CMS Acoustics complements the existing comprehensive portfolio of sound insulation solutions, which include products from exclusive UK partnerships with Regupol manufacturer BSW and Kinetics Noise Control.
