Pliteq

Located on the first floor, above an office space, Brigade strives to be a good neighbour and ensure that the exercises in the fitness classes do not cause noise disturbance to the space below.

This newly renovated block is a new executive apartment scheme based on Duhamel Place, St Helier.With completion in Q4 2023, this selection of modern new build apartments come to the market offering spacious living, whilst allowing plenty of natural light throughout. The design of the apartments has been done by Page Architects and finished to a high specification by Park Homes.Build-up 1: 5mm laminate flooring (Carpet in bedrooms) – 25mm GenieBoard 302 – 5mm GenieMat RST05 – 18mm plywood – 185mm steel joists – 150mm acoustic insulation within joists – 2No 15mm FireLine board – Suspended metal frame ceiling incorporating GenieClip LB – 12.5mm wallboard – skim finish.Build-up 2: 5mm laminate flooring (Carpet in bedrooms) – 5mm GenieMat RST05, 175mm concrete slab, GenieClip RST ceiling - 12.5mm wallboard – skim finish.The post completion testing demonstrates that the environmentally friendly construction has exceeded residential requirements by 3dB in airborne (achieving DnT,w +Ctr 48dB in situ) and 7dB in impact (achieving L'nT,w 55dB in situ) while offering a quick and simple install. 

Gym with top of the range fitness equipment, dumbbells up to 50kg, watt bikes and row machines. Lifting platforms integrated flush within the remaining gym area and colourised to highlight drop area.“We recently installed Pliteq flooring in our brand new Meadowbank facility. The product is top quality and the noise dampening in our free weights area is great. The noise from dropping weights is completely minimised making the experience of other users more enjoyable. There is also no reverb heard or felt in other rooms nearby.”

Merchant Quay is a development of 1, 2 and 3 bedroom apartments by Barratt Homes in the vibrant area of Leith.The main objective of the acoustic design was to meet the acoustic requirements whilst reducing the embodied carbon of the acoustic design. This was achieved by using GenieMat RST, which is made from 94% recycled car tyres diverted from landfill, and the carbon negative GenieBoard. As a result, a saving of 16.6kg CO2/m2 was achieved by using recycled and recyclable products compared to traditional construction types. This equates to a total of 139 tonnes of C02e saved across the project. As this build-up is dry laid, it is fully demountable and recyclable at the end of its life. Build-up: Floor finish - 25mm GenieBoard 302 - 3mm GenieMat RST03 - 18mm floorboard - 240mm solid wood joists - Resilient bar - 2No 15mm plasterboard.The post completion testing demonstrated that the build-up exceeded the acoustic requirements by 6dB in airborne (providing a DnTw of 62dB) and 2dB in impact (providing a L'nTw of 54dB).
