Acousticork• U36: -13.6 kg CO₂ eq/ m2• U38: -24.5 kg CO₂ eq/ m2

A Life Cycle Assessment (LCA) study conducted by Itecons confirms that Acousticork by Amorim U36 and U38 underscreeds have a negative carbon balance

High impact sound insulation in flooring screed application.

Polyethylene foams, mineral wool, wood and coconut fibers, synthetic rubbers and cork and its derivatives are the most commonly used materials in the manufacture of underscreed blankets currently available on the market. However, some of these materials come from non-renewable resources and their production and process…

To meet the high standards of acoustic performance expected in the project of the new Four Seasons building in Bangkok, a cork underscreed with recycled rubber was applied to the entire area of the hotel, including common areas. The flooring was then finished with laminated wood and ceramic material.

Applied to the floor between the structural slab and the screed during the construction process, an underscreed significantly reduces the propagation of impact noise through the structural elements of the building and improves its sound insulation. In addition, by helping to limit heat losses, it also has an influence…

Non-pre-attached foil barrier

U38 is designed for buildings with stringent acoustic requirements, ensuring performance and sustainability.

Multi-purpose buildings such as Kamienica Nova II, which houses both apartments and a supermarket, present a major challenge in terms of isolation, since it is necessary to control airborne as well as impact noise.
