Hangzhou has recently introduced new regulations on residential quality, focusing on improving sound insulation technology to solve the noise problem that is common in high-rise residential buildings. By increasing the thickness of walls and floors, the new regulations can effectively improve the sound insulation effect and reduce the conflicts caused by noise between neighbors. In addition, the new regulations encourage the use of more advanced soundproofing materials, such as double or triple glazing, as well as acoustic mats in floor slabs, to further enhance the quality of living.
Recently, Hangzhou has issued a series of new regulations on the quality of residences, among which the improvement of sound insulation technology has become the focus. Starting with building design and construction processes, the new regulations propose specific improvements aimed at addressing the noise problems that are prevalent in high-rise residential buildings, thereby improving neighborhood relations and enhancing the quality of life of residents.
Upgraded soundproofing technology to reduce noise disputes in the neighborhood
In Hangzhou, many high-rise residential buildings are poorly soundproofed, resulting in frequent conflicts between residents upstairs and downstairs due to noise problems. The new regulations clearly state that the thickness of the base wall of the residential sub-household wall should not be less than 240 mm, and the thickness of the cast-in-place floor slab of the part other than the balcony should not be less than 120 mm. These measures are expected to significantly improve the sound insulation and reduce the disturbance of noise to residents' lives.
The application of advanced materials improves the comfort of living
In addition to increasing the thickness of the walls, the new regulations also encourage the use of more advanced soundproofing materials. For example, double glazing has been widely used for exterior windows in houses, and some have even begun to use triple glazing to better isolate outdoor noise. In addition, the practice of incorporating acoustic mats into floor slabs is gradually being adopted to help reduce noise disturbance between upstairs and downstairs residents. The application of these technologies not only improves the sound insulation performance of the house, but also improves the overall living comfort.
Future outlook: continue to innovate and create high-quality homes
With the continuous progress of building materials and technology, the problem of sound insulation is expected to be solved more perfectly. Experts from Zhejiang Provincial Architectural Design and Research Institute said that in the future, sound insulation materials will have more room for development in terms of performance and adaptability. This not only helps to address the current noise problem, but also provides strong support for the creation of higher quality homes.
Hangzhou's new residential regulations have effectively solved the noise problem in high-rise residential buildings by improving sound insulation technology and applying advanced materials, improving neighborhood relations and improving the quality of life of residents. As technology continues to advance, the homes of the future will be more comfortable and livable.
