Overview

Randomized trial analyzes sound insulation performance using various adhesives in apartment floor finishes, suggesting improvements.

Key Points

  • This research examines how different floor finishing adhesives affect impact sound insulation in apartment buildings.
  • Field measurements were conducted in occupied apartment units with wooden flooring and stone tiles.
  • Impact sound insulation performance was assessed under identical floating floor structures.
  • Adhesives tested included epoxy-based, polyurethane-based, low-polymer cement, and high-polymer cement.
  • Epoxy-based adhesives showed changes of -1 dB to 1 dB in heavyweight impact sound reduction.
  • Polyurethane-based adhesives reduced lightweight impact sound by 2 dB to 6 dB.
  • High-polymer cement adhesives reduced light-weight impact sound by 4 dB.
