New application of steel in inside coating buildings considering design and acoustic criteria

Objective

ECSC projects previously presented to the EC generally approach acoustic applications as complementary studies for design of roofs, columns, ceilings, etc., where the focus is in the design of column links or other type of elements.

The objective of this project is to generate new products for coated and mixed steel elements for aesthetic uses in the walls and ceilings members and focused on the new acoustic regulations. Hence the research will be oriented, not simply to achieving a total noise reduction as up to now, but to the new regulations of technical code for buildings. The latter are mandatory requirements regarding reverberating time, which makes it necessary to utilise collaborative coating materials in order to produce the required noise absorption. An excellent opportunity exists for steel to gain market share against alternative products, such as gypsum and other materials, and this proposal aims at this benefit, creating new products based on steel.

The main advantage is the ability to use the same material in steel construction, with the same finish aspect and with the enhanced characteristics for energy absorption over a very wide frequency range, which is a very relevant aspect for the customers.
